Headless Priest Ghosts in the Philippines

Posted on by Bob Boyd

When I lived in the Philippines, I heard of
headless priest ghosts

a frightening thought

I read during world war II the Japanese
cut off the heads of priests that became ghosts

if true, such an unconscionable thing to do

some people say it’s just an urban legend
others believe the headless priest ghosts are real

after watching many believable videos about ghosts
on Art Bell’s Ghost to Ghost series

I cannot not help but wonder if those stories
about headless priest ghosts in the Philippines are true.

The Muslim Woman at the Cancer Center

Posted on by Bob Boyd

Last night I was remembering the Muslim woman
at the cancer center

who was always there the same time as I was
years ago, free of cancer now

though I never had a conversation with her
I worried about her

she was emaciated and in a wheelchair
never knew cancer put people in wheelchairs

but, alas, many are the people in wheelchairs
from cancer

I was worried about this woman because
I thought she looked close to dying

she appeared to be in her early or late forties
too young, too soon, to leave this world

one day she was no longer at the cancer center
at the same time I was

I feared my observation about her dying had been right
but to this day, I hope I had been wrong

I hope her doctor just changed her appointment time
and that she lives cancer free today.

Godzilla

Posted on by Bob Boyd

I wonder who in Japan
dreamed up Godzilla
it must have been
one hell of a ride
to dream up
a giant monster
and see it
on the silver screen
playing in
many countries
all over the world
causing havoc
wrecking cities
and more
when I saw it
as a kid, I didn’t think
it was any good
but what did I know?
I was just a kid
kudos to the creator
of the movie Godzilla
and its enduring success.

The Woman With Black and Green Hair

Posted on by Bob Boyd

I see a young woman with black and green hair
reviewing horror movies on YouTube
that she sees on Tubi

It doesn’t surprise me that a woman with
black and green hair is reviewing horror movies
it seems apropos

she has an English accent that gives her
some linguistic appeal and adds to her
well thought out reviews

she calls herself the gremlin girl, which in a way
doesn’t surprise me, but the name is like a misnomer
she’s too pretty to be a gremlin

I give her video a like and put it in my favorites,
so I can take a look at her recommendations
later on Tubi. Thank you gremlin girl.

Ghosts of the Living

Posted on by Bob Boyd

Art Bell believed there were
ghosts of the living

an appearance in spirit form
of somebody you know is alive

a number of people reported
such sightings on Art Bell’s
Ghost to Ghost shows

perhaps our spirits are
embodied and sometimes
slip out while we’ve alive

instead of the intended
bodily separation when
we are dead.

Seeing Headless Ghosts

Posted on by Bob Boyd

Some people claim they’ve seen headless ghosts
why would a ghost appear like that?

unless a dead person lived in the vicinity where
once people lost their heads under the guillotine

or maybe it’s a metaphoric thing, like a person
who often lost his head, as in got angry, when living
losing it literally when angry in the afterlife

but I’m just kidding around here, giving you these
made up theories and hoping you never see
a spectral noggin heading toward you.

Publicly She Was Pretty, Petite and Sweet

Posted on by Bob Boyd

I had a girlfriend once who was pretty, petite and sweet
and seemed angelic – publicly

privately she was still pretty and petite, but forget about
the sweet and angelic

she became as annoying as a rabid flea on me, too many
snide, biting remarks

not being a masochist, not taking excessive sh*t from anyone,
I had to leave her

I couldn’t put up with her publicly hidden persona
the insufferable, devilishly real her.
