CAMELOT FANTASIES

A #gift wrapped surprise
Silken and smooth
Spread upon Egyptian cotton
Tempting his mood
Sensuous curves
Caressed by the night
A feast for his eyes
His craving appetite

#SensualScribbles
…
In the blackest hour
Well past midnight
When all good men are asleep
An echo stirs
A veil is lifted
Comes the dread hour of the beast
All is silent
No breath of wind
Tis the dark night of the soul
That knows no rest
Nor peace on earth
For it is broken & no longer whole

#MadVerse
…

Where #tranquil waters flow
There shall you find me
Resting my soul in quiet reflection
Bathing my mind in soft contemplation

#vss365
…

This web of desire
This tantric tapestry
That weaves a spell
And oh so very well
Entangled we dance
Cavort within threads
Forgetting the world
No tears anymore shed
Ecstasy wraps tight
Whips us without mercy
Stretched end to end
In adorned beauty

It came one Winter
As I recall
As the temperature dropped
And snow did fall
To drape the land
In virgin raiment
And quiet did settle
A frosty pageant
And folk did huddle
Beside fires alight
To warm themselves
Through those long Wintery nights

#poetry
…

From still smouldering ashes
Redolent of blood and war
Linger with unholy resonance
The blood curdling spirit of #Enyo
Oh how the very air hangs heavy
Suffocating
     Drowning
           Struggling to breathe
Urgent with desperate violence
The crushing end is nigh
#macabrewords
…

Each word a dagger thrust
Swift and true - piercing deep
Hands making #stabby gestures
Designing his imminent demise
Wordlessly she watched
Awaiting the final fall
Patience was after all a virtue
And by now she'd seen it all

#macabrewords

Mesmerised
#hypnotised
Possessed
He holds my heart
My mind surely follows
My soul is my own
My body he may borrow...

#vss365
…

#shattered & broken
A life torn apart
Tattered remains scattered
Left to rot in the dark
All a big mystery
The townsfolk keep quiet
Scared & superstitious
Or they'll end up just like it
So don't say a word
Or ask anyone
Let sleeping dogs lie
Or your time'll come

#amorous fingers walk a curious path
Across warm, firm, suntanned flesh
Salacious explorations beckon
A crimson smile betrays her intent
To hear him moan her name
Or at the very least - beg...

#vss365
…

For just a moment
A mere pause in time
Love was a #glimmer
Deep set in those eyes
That spoke to me
Brought me to the edge
Held me poised and breathless
On my knees I did pledge
To be his alone
Til death do us part
Forever and ever
Well, at least it's a start

#vss365
…

His words a sweet #serenade
His touch a seductive caress
The night is our haven
Where we can be alone
Far from the whispers
The gossiping tongues
That judge without knowing
They can't see our hearts
Or know where we're going
In those small wee hours
As the clock ticks on

Tasting lips linger
Carnal #esteem heightens heat
The rapturous burn

Nurture the tender flame
A conflagration there shall be
In your name!

I hear his key
Tumbling the lock
As I long
To be tumbled
Tangled
By him
Those dark eyes
Mesmerising
Lock with mine
Drawing me closer
His growled #murmur
Wraps around
A seductive cloak
My will to his bound
Addicted
Craving
His touch profound

Silence pervades
Anticipation builds
Senses reach out
Silken binds strain
A footstep
An exhale
The rasp of leather
The scent of a male
Ever closer
She breathes him in
Craving the attention
The depth of his carnal sin

Yeah she was the real deal alright. Made to make a man forget all his problems, at least for a night. Curves with no warning to lure a joe right in. An' send him cryin' back to mama afterwards. Call me a sap but those baby blues ripped out my soul.

Smoky interiors
Bourbon soaked air
Meeting in shadows
Passions laid bare
Sweet jazz playing soft
Lights turned down low
Inhibitions cast aside
No one need know
Strangers to lovers
Assignations every night

Somethings just feel right

Running in my dreams
Chasing all my hopes
#sleepwalking in the shadows
Hunting down those leads
I never can remember
How everything turns out
Awakening comes way too soon
And I'm left wondering
Wrapped in pensive doubt

#vss365
…

Don't #sugarcoat it, darlin'
Just tell it like it is
You're leaving me for another
And on a night like this
She may cook just like mama
Fill your plate and more
But she can't do what I do
Dig up the bodies neath the floor

The thing I dread most
In the depths of the night
That blood chilling moment
A deafening silence blight
As thick mists still swirled
Shifting patterns did they make
Veiling blood soaked ground
Body parts hung on stakes
Festive garlands of gore
To decorate the shore

Burn, baby, burn *eyes bright in the flickering golden glow of the #campfire, lips curving in pleasure as flames leapt skyward to consume the writhing figure lashed in glorious splendour to the beam atop the smouldering pyre* give my love to the Devil when you meet*

…

Down dark alleyways
Lost among shadows
Where only the brave
Or the very foolhardy
Play Russian roulette
With what's left of their souls
Rent and torn eons ago
Love and lies and stereotypes
Bought and then sold
Searching for something
Lying in gutters
Gazing at stars

#moonmystic
…

Look to the North
And wait and watch
Upon wild winds
Shall they sweep south
Riders on the storm
With banshee cries
Their swords and shields
Brandished high
Eager for blood
They ravage the land
Destruction their aim
Vengeance their plan

To walk in the sun
The warmth upon my face
Is a dream, a fantasy
In my world so out of place
Endless night is my curse
A lonely path do I walk
Silent in the shadows
There's no need to talk

I'm hurricane drunk
And lost in the storm
Chasing tequilas
And bourbon shots
Drowning in memories
Numbing the pain
So set 'em up bartender
An' keep a rollin' tab
Things are just gettin' started
An' they're gonna get bad

Time hangs heavy here in the bayou
Sluggishly slow as sweet molasses
Nights creep in with thick dense fog
To shroud the creatures of the dark
Ghosts of the past that linger still
The land of their birth and their kill

Kissed awake by morning frost
Mother Nature's chill blessing
The land a glittering jewel

Envious of such dazzling shine
They called upon the lowering clouds
2 shield the radiance of the sun
& drown such brilliance

Chance of rain? I'd say its good

But not if you're planning on burying bodies out in the wood

Last storm that passed washed the ground clear away

Four Fingered Earl's still in prison to this day

Fool should've buried 'em way deeper

He swept into Tombstone like a prairie fire

Counting down the seconds
How slowly they drag
When you're plummeting earthward
Wings clipped and on fire
Almost floating in a haze
Pressure falling all around you
Nothing more to lose
Just another soul hell bent
On giving the earth a bruise

#SlamWords #53rdEdition #encore - R9

A cascade of memories
Heavy showers of emotion
They rain down
Drenching my heart
Drowning my soul
Sweeping me away
Upon an ocean tide
To some lonely Island
Where I and my thoughts
Shall together long abide

Just #fingerprints
All that remain
Forever preserved
Locked in stone
Of a soul that lived
Breathed and loved
A long time ago
Yet as I touch
Trace their form
My soul remembers
Aches for what was
What can never be
Eternity forever
Between you and me

The lonely road we walk
Unfolding before us
Twisting - turning
Blind corners
Hidden bends
Sometimes with strangers
Sometimes with friends
Yet in the end
Always alone

Teasing lips curve in soft invitation
The half empty bottle of Jack lifted

"this'll cure whatever ails you*

A hand reaches out
Shots are poured
A silent toast offered
Both know the score

"Big Joe sends his regards"

Is all that's said
Smirking
Choking
He slumps dead

Tender threads
Silken strands
Gossamer braids
Tangled
Entwining
That trap us all
Secrets & lies
Lost to the thrill
Illicit temptation
Seduced by the fall
Time & again
Cannot resist
The lure of his touch
Drawn to his kiss
Tormented by needs
Ah such bliss

The fall is a long one

Hang high a shining silver moon
Let stardust paint iridescent wonder

As the moon waned
Slid slowly from the sky
Shadows shifted

Cloaking dark intent
Hungering to kill
Without conscience
No pity at their core
Devil take the hindmost
This is war!

Upon my tongue

Let them point and gossip
Spread their merciless poison
The past was another world
She'd outrun far worse
Yet still the rumours followed
Her neverending burden and curse

#inevitable or so they said
Crumbling fortunes to match their luck
Haunted souls scratching a living
Barely alive their spirits long gone
Nothing left but empty vessels
Wandering mildewed hallways
Drifting with the dust motes
Left to linger by an uncaring world

Think you can run?
Think you can hide?
Hot on your heels

Betrayal your mistake
Murder so much worse

Cold breath on your neck
Sharp teeth sinking deep
You'll never hear me coming
From the shadows I creep

She was a wish
The promise that he craved

He was her haven
White Knight bold and brave

No peace could she win
From the stares and the whispers
The neverending demanding din

A key in the lock
Step upon the floor
A single command
My knees hit the floor

The slide of his hand
Between my knees

Lips grazed my neck
Teeth tenderly nipped
His tongue an erotic lash
Over the precipice I tipped

Waste of a drink, Joe
Tossing it away
On a piece of trash
Who won't see the light of day
Again...
Man had it coming
Yeah, in spades 2
Ain't gonna lie, Joe
He got what was due
But the cops ain't gonna like it
If'n they ever found out
Say, from a little bird
Who knew where 2 shout

Something’s coming on the wind
A stirring somewhere I’ve never been

Moonlit madness with demons cavort
Cotton candy nightmares in a hellish resort

With a quiet sense of dread I turn slowly to view
An obsidian cloak descend - the world to subdue

Deep in the forest
Amidst Fall’s gilded wonder
There shall U find me
A blanket of gold I’ll be under

Leaves to be my bed
Vivid hues my vibrant veil
Blazing & colourful
All others shall pale

Roll in my glory
Taste the wild
Feast on my beauty
Yr senses beguiled

#Staggered steps leading me down
Uneven and ragged, round and round
Stygian silence welcomes me home
Away from the light, so far have I roamed
Darkness beckons with seductive guile
Goodbye cruel world, at least for a while

Darkness returns to soak the land
Steal every fading flickering light

A living death for the ones left behind
On their knees praying for the Fates 2 be kind

Amidst brimstone & fire & a shout of “All Hail”

Sweeping me off my feet to dance me away
Far far away where the crowds do not go
Beyond the horizon to a place only we know

One touch was all it took and I was flying…

That sapphire gem upon her finger still sparkles as brightly as the day he slid it on. Yet those achingly blue eyes he once drowned in are just a little shadowed.  The morning glory of her once golden hair, now cascade in ashen spill.

Remembering your smile

In capricious glee

My frantic tongue can barely keep pace

Gentle ripples upon a lake
All that’s left behind in your wake

A person drifts away from it all
Only memories left behind that wall

Silent voids of bleak confusion
Impenetrable barriers to any intrusion

Elusive desires encourage elliptical illusions
Ensnared in your web without hope of escape

Conspiring minds conjure a cornucopia of illusion
Catastrophic computations of cataclysmic impact
Conflagrations consume to leave only ashes
Confusion reigns in a world of compounded regret

#SlamWords #48thEdition #encore - round 1
…

Lusty contortions that lead to excess
A hurried apology while we hurriedly dress

Caught in the flare of a ranger’s flashlight
As he tries not laugh at our half-dressed plight

Lingering looks in the rear view mirror
Leave us biting our lips in amused horror

Euphoric cries erupt from his lips
Ecstasy reached in a moment of bliss
Chasing paradise beneath storm laden skies
Two souls become one - desires crystallise
Breathing hard, our energy sapped
Collapsing on leather, tongues leisurely lap

#SlamWords #48thEdition #encore - round 4
…

Whispering breaths upon quivering flesh
Bodies bathed in sweat that no longer thresh

No matter the shame and scorn that would come

Illicit passion was born the moment they met
Sneaking in shadows for what each could get

Roughhousing Romeos roaming the night
Howling to the moon by the full moon’s light

Seeking their Juliets in dark bars and clubs

Looking for passion white hot and burning
Young hearts desperate with hormones churning

Addictive adoration was my down fall
Swept right off my feet at his crooning call

Audacious actions spoke to my heart
A shotgun wedding was only the start

How passion burned all through the night
Daddy didn’t like him but that was alright

#SlamWords #48thEdition #encore R7

Testosterone drenched night
A blood moon rising
Frogs in the bayou croaking
Tantalising touches teasing

Living for the moment
Running wild n free
Not caring for tomorrow
Trading kisses neath oak trees

Thrown to the wolves
Tested by the God
Tried beyond all measure
Thirsting for blood

Thrust deep into the dark
Turning from the light
Treading light n slow
Nothing ever felt so right

Energising electricity roused me from my sleep
The voice of Elvis crooning in my ear so sweet
To follow his star shining bright in the sky
His voice lacing dreams so perfect I could cry
Effervescent emotions rising fast
Addicted to a star lost in the past

CELEBRATE in euphoric splendour
The start of a blooming joyful Summer
Freedom from the cruel clutches of Winter
New beginnings, a new awakening, a new dawning wonder

 In shades of blue I barely knew
His gaze #described my future true
In shades of red I did so dread
His lips formed words better left unsaid
I’d run so far yet couldn’t escape
The Devil inside that was my fate

With a #nod to the dark art of noir, I spilled crimson ink upon a virgin page. Watching with satisfaction how it seeped into the tiny peaks & troughs of the paper in exactly the manner of the blood pooling beneath the still twitching corpse crumpled upon the floor...

Breathing in rhythm
Feeling the flow
Renewing myself
Just as I go
Floating away
Light as air
Letting go of it all
No worries no cares

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R1

In draining old wounds of their poisonous malice
In finding new peace in a world full of madness
In refinding friends who he once thought were dead
The pain of it lessened and no words need be said

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R2

Betwixt the infinite & the finite
There shall I be
Betwixt the possible & the impossible
You’ll be sure to find me
Expanding inner vision
Set your mind flying free
Trust always in your vision
Then you can truly believe

Those secrets we share on 🔥afternoons
Sunk deep in each other, unable to move
Those lies we tell others 2 keep our world safe
Locked away from condemning words & their cruel gaze
They won’t understand nor ever forgive
The choices we’ve made - how we want 2 live

What midsummer madness held you so enthralled?
What tales did he spin that swept you away from it all?
For all his promises, did you fall so sweetly under his spell?
So lost as to give those dreams away you once nurtured so well?

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R4
...

Lead me to where the sweet waters flow
Away from the madness, take my hand & we’ll go
Leaving my woes far far in my wake
Feel my spirit lifting with each step I take
Lay me down among the willows & let me dream
Of a world of wonder, w/out any screams

#SlamWords #47thEdition  R5
...

What tales they surely could weave
These bare hills we long ago did leave
That once did sound with so much life

Amongst winding valleys wild and lost
Shiver ghosts of the past w/out counting the cost
Now forlorn & abandoned, scarred by strife

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R6

In the lone eagle’s cry
Across the wild prairie
In a clear cobalt sky
A warrior runs wild & free

To the gallop of hooves
Where wild horses still roam
Shall his spirit return
To the land he called home

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R7
...

Always there
That voice inside
Whispering words
I cannot deny

The power within
Friend or foe
I’ve long forgotten
No longer know

I cannot run
I cannot hide
It’s also there
The demon inside

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R8
...

To touch the stars
Once more - again
To soar in the heavens
My beautiful friend

With you by my side
Holding me tight
We’ll map the universe
A beautiful sight

Soul to soul
Burning so bright
Always together
Unto that white light

#SlamWords #47thEdition #encore R9

What is this mysterious alchemy?
This connection shared one Summer’s eve
Strangers we were at the start of the night
Then lovers by the time of the morning light
Simply breathing did we become
Moulded together - two hearts become one

A raven cries high upon the wing
A soul flies north nevermore to sing
The #warcry echoes down through years
They’re on the move giving to life your fears
So gird your loins and hone your blades
Valhalla beckons and they don’t take slaves

Once upon a #dream
He came to me
And it seemed so real

I craved the wildness
Of his devouring kiss
Wrapped tight in his arms
It was such addictive bliss

In rhythm we danced
Swept to heaven above
Seduction & sensation
Making memories & love
         
#SensualScribbles
...

Shhh my love
No one can know
Secrets we keep
Seeds we sow
They’ll never understand
They’ll judge & demand
Things we cannot explain
It is what it is
No one is to blame
Ignore wagging tongues
The frowning looks
Life is for living
By hook or by crook

Reflections of us are all I see
When I close my eyes
Imagine you and me

Always together - never apart
A #mirror of two souls
A never-ending spiral
Right from the start

He took me from the shadows
Brought me into the light
Then bathed my soul in moon dust
Danced me through the night...

Emotions cascade in a never ending rush
To #linger on the periphery to tease and taunt
Heating my blood with the memory of you
Your touch, your taste, your scent - they haunt
The ghost that remains when all else is gone
I cannot forget and we will never be done

#SensualScribbles
...
Folk fell to their knees
Cried out their names
Begged for sweet mercy
But salvation never came

The #old gods did laugh
Cruelty their trade
With pitiless stares
In blood did they wade

Savage & dark
Relishing the fear
Screams of the dying
Every time they drew near

Sentence was read
Punishment decreed
#lawyer in him waited
Obsidian gaze rich with need
Time off for good behaviour
Or was that for bad
With a wicked smile
Heaven promised scantily clad
Appetites whetted
He fought to resist
The devil in my eyes
Dark carnal tryst

#Erotica280 551

Thrice does he come
Reeking of arrogance
Ill tempered & undone
What say we, sisters?
To this ill-starred man
Storm tossed at our door
See how he marks us
With a malevolent eye
Daring us speak
As if we wld lie
What’s cast is cast
Out from the light
Brave centaur go
Into the night

#Deepset diamonds
To match her eyes
Glittering precious gems
Adoration in shimmering disguise

Those creeping thoughts
Lingering in corners
That prod and poke
Keeping me awake
Each night is the same
With stealth do they come
Choking all reason
I just can’t overcome
Black is the night
As is my mind
Trapped in a cruel embrace
No way out can I find

Amorphous desires send me tumbling
Reeling upon the edge of consciousness
Down the rabbit hole of my mind
Screaming silent words of wonder
As the rapture takes suffocating hold

Just out of reach luminescence glimmers
Subliminal light bathes me in warmth
Gilding mortal flesh to heavenly life
Iridescent stars in glittering profusion
Bring calm to a restless soul almost lost

Cast adrift on a carpet of star dust
The far side of midnight beckons
Intangible dreams dance in my eyes
As I gaze with awe at the beautiful skies

#SlamWords #46th R7,8,9,10
...

A night sky nova
Shooting ‘cross the sky
He burned with a brilliance
That cruelly hurt the eye
No one else could fly any higher
No one else could reach the heights
He truly was a wonder
A heart of a star
Set in Hollywood lights

...

Rumours and lies swirl upon the wind
Darkening the soul and torturing the mind
Closer he comes with each passing hour
Threats and promises that make us cower
Perception’s paradox brought to life
Death does he bring with the slice of a knife

#SlamWords #46thEdition #encore - R5

Limned in brilliance
Among spinning stars
Did he gloriously shimmer

#SlamWords #46thEdition #encore - R6

Quiet contemplations upon an ocean of dreams
Where mermaids swim in liquid luminescence
Trailing secrets in whirlpools of imagination
Adorned in exuberant auroras of silvered innocence

#SlamWords #46thEdition #encore - R9

Timeless dreams without an end
Been a long time, my oh so cruel friend
Come to torment me in the dead of night
This mortal coil as delicate as a thread
Can hold me no longer and it fills me with dread

2 lie with U
Just one more time
To touch yr skin
Desire no crime

In the quiet hours
Velvet midnight
Shall I taste yr kiss
& all will be right

Drench my flesh
In passions dew
Let the flame burn
& consume U

Carnal addiction
I cannot deny
The craving within
The urge 2 fly

Scenting your lust
Tasting desire
Ensnared by weakness
Burned by the wild fire

Slowly, slowly
How they creep
From the sewers
They come
From the sewers
They seep
Hair raising whispers
Bumps in the night
Faces in mirrors
Dare you to sleep?
You know they’re coming
You know they’re there
Watching and waiting
You should beware!

I’m on the edge
Mamba ready to strike
Just one word
Even a look
I’m gonna let rip
&
It’s gonna be swift
I’m tipping over
Need just a push
Off this finely honed edge
Off this unstable ledge
So give me a reason
Heck, give me 2
I’m bustin’ out
Comin’ for U

I remember you
Your touch

The taste of you
I cannot forget
My name upon your lips
Groaned in the night
As we danced upon sheets
Sweat dampened
Passion rumpled
In silvered moonlight

In **** mirrors reflections do peek
Concealing all that hides from the light
Of natures true and without artifice
In the depths of hearts where demons bite

Intangible escapades in darkened rooms
betray lustful leanings in liquid cascade

Deadly desires in swirling profusion
control mortal musings upon vengeful seductions

Shadows merge where eyes cannot see
becoming all that we crave in our secretive depths

What quiet whispers
Trapped sighs
Linger in moonlight
Soft caressing delight

Come to me slowly
Draw me from the crowd
Sweep me away
Upon imaginary clouds
