CAMELOT FANTASIES

I started this thread as a place for me to share a little of my poetic side. Although I currently write erotic romance stories, poetry will always have a huge hold on my heart. It is a way for all of us to get through, overcome, and share our pains and joys.

I hope you will all please feel free to share your own poetry here with me...

Here is a poem I wrote recently. I wanted to share it here with all of you who have been so kind, welcoming, and encouraging. We all have a past that no one knows about or has lived. This poem was a sort of therapy for me to write down.



Through the years I have walked and pondered;
Darkness and Light, in both I have wandered.
My strength has gone and my knees have been weak;
My tongue would get tied whenever I’d speak.
I look within myself and just want to cry;
To think of the chances I let pass me by.
I look to the heavens for guidance and direction;
I prayed for friendship, acceptance, and protection.
I think back on the horrors I have survived;
And I am thankful to have come out alive.
No one knows the roads that I have walked;
They all like to judge without me having a chance to talk.
They do not know the pain that I went through;
Oh lord, if they just only knew.
The sickness I've suffered and the terrible abuse;
The feeling within that I am of no use.
They know not the tears that I have shed;
Lying there, alone in my bed.
Memories are obstacles that still torture my mind;
So many times I wished that my memories were blind.
They do not know that I hide behind my smile;
That I have truly walked the extra mile.
Each word that I speak is straight from my heart;
How my friendship and acceptance to all is my own fresh start.
I wish no one would have to endure the past I have had;
That they never have a moment when they are down or sad.
I wish for all to live a life filled with nothing but glee;
So a much better world there would most assuredly be.

Thank you, CD!

Hope you enjoyed the beach.

I can see why you would spend time there. It looks absolutely beautiful!

Very peaceful as well...a perfect place to unwind and relax.

You are an amazing support, lady Victoria, and I thank you. You are such a sweet person and you yourself write such beautiful words filled with so much feeling and emotion. Thank you, as well, for sharing yours. I know you understand how vulnerable we are when we put our soul into words, and I thank you for your kind remarks, my friend 

Just Try

When you are feeling hurt and a little down;
When your usual smile has turned to a frown.
When you need to smile but only cry;
When you feel like giving up: don't...Just Try.

When you have lost all hope and your nerves begin to fray;
When the memories come but you wish they'd go away.
When you lose all reason and question: why;
When you feel like giving up: don't...Just Try.

When times get tough and life gets hard;
When you are empty inside and and feeling jarred.
When you're on your knees, giving up, looking to the sky;
When you feel like giving up: don't...Just Try.

Just try...when you are knocked down
Just try...when you feel like giving up
Just try...when others attack you
Just try...when it feels too hard
Just try...when you are on your last hope...

Because it is at that moment, your last page of faith
That you will find you are stronger than you knew.
You are amazing! You are beautiful. You are the only you.
So always remember...Just try.

This was a short poem I wrote when I was 14 and lost my great-grandmother. I was really close with her and still miss the time we would spend together reminiscing of long ago days. Her nickname was Grammy, and I titled this poem after her.

Grammy

She was a loving mother and grandmother;
Until the very day.
When the Lord called upon her;
And took her soul away.

He took her to her home up there;
And said that we should never fear.
For we may rise to see her again;
In our own tomorrow year.

This short poem is for anyone who has been searching for so long for that one person and has finally found them.  This one I titled Earth Angel.

Earth Angel

What I really need to be doing
is having some fun;
Swimming on the beach
and bathing in the sun.

But instead home alone
all day long I stay;
I kneel on my knees
and softly I pray.

For heaven to send me
someone special from above;
Someone to care for
and wholeheartedly love.

This is one of the things
I feel that I need
So as long as is needed
I'll continually plead.

But somewhere down deep
I feel this dream's coming true;
Because heaven has blessed me
with an angel in you.

Going through my journals this morning and found another poem I wrote. This one was written when I was 16. I was active in my youth group at church and after a retreat I was inspired to write this. This one is titled Trust, and could be applied to many people in our lives.

Trust

O' God, you alone can hear my every prayer;
Whenever I need you, you are always there.
You grant me mercy at all the right times;
You solve all the problems that should only be mine.
You sent your only son to die on the cross;
To care for all men and seek after the lost.
I love you, my Lord, with all of my heart;
Not one man on earth can tear me apart.
I will trust in you with all of my might;
You set my soul free like a bird soaring in flight.

thank you for sharing.

I just read this.



wonderful prose.
