CAMELOT FANTASIES

Tragic results when vehicles collide
Slight swerve here
In a blink of an eye
Unbelievably as we wrongly decide
Mutilated metal
Distorted bodies
Broken skin and bones
Lifeless bodies strewn across the land
Sadness prevails at the loss
Yet the news is overwhelmingly
Constantly dealing with loss
Young of old
It’s never properly foretold
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Tell those you love them today
Saves you the intense grief
Of the sorrow
Knowing you bit your tongue
Forgetting to say
I love you
Let’s play

Say it now
Express it now
Love is to be shared
Lovingly cared

~Divine

Lying in the depths of the darkness
Where parts of my soul
Lays open to all the bleeding wounds
Of love lorn and torn
The last hopes of my heart
Being torn apart
With each game you play
Beyond hope
Wished there was another way

~Divine

Viewing the stark reality
That disturbs the equilibrium
Wiping clean remnants of dirt
Reminding us the intense desire
To wallow and alternatively cleanse
Pulling at the threads
Expecting everything to dismantle
Tugging at the strands
Expecting dissolution
Surprised when it doesn’t happen
Curious to push the limits
Striving for the sake of the dark
To leave a streak behind
The bright light
Needing the extremes
To break away from the inert emotions
That seem to stick like super glue
Drowning in the superficial qualities
That seem to be true
Words of devotion
Spoken superfluously
Sinking deeper into the blue
A quality that infuses the different hues
Confusion as I still think of you

~Divine

The cage rattled by the Beating heart
The ache strong emanates the pain
Tingling throughout all appendages
Screams followed by sobbing
Tormented
Comparable to the screwed up etchings
Marking the face
Turmoil has been playing its rhythmic beat
A symphony of screeches
High pitched followed by
Moans of laughter
Mixed with the sharp strain
Of anguished pain
Insanity thrashed against
Common sense
Of all these bloody speeches
That mean nothing
The pain far too intense
Observe the smiles once painted
Reveal all that was once concealed
Grotesquely etched pain
The figure standing in front of the mirror
Doesn’t look the same
She stares blankly
At the ugly monster that surfaced
And replaced the smile
If you listen intently
You’ll hear the subtle screams
Only if you want to
For years have gone by
You’ve dismissed them
Simply because you never cared

~Divine

The dark descends and dwells
In a pool of blood
That I use for ink
The cracks developed
From the struggle through pain
Heart is broken through the strain
Words superfluously spoken
Placing the mask firmly
Painted smiles
Deliberately tattooed again

~Divine

Frustrations of fear are real
Searing shocks shattering the balance
Trembling uncontrollably
Teeth clattering
The inability to stop the shaking
Further anguishes the panic
That has overwhelmed
Hearts beating raised its rhythm
And skipped many a beat
Asphyxiation increasing
Gasping for air
From this humid heat
Unbearable as the panic
Continues to rise
A small piece trying to ease the strain
Having had better control
This time around
Feeling the pressure of my heart
Is the bigger surprise
Pain intensifies
Hearing sounds as though I’m underwater
An echo plays sharply
Hard to decipher
What’s real
What’s fear
What’s been absorbed by external energies
That I’ve made it my own

Numbness is hitting My extremities
Thoughts are confusing
Sharp stinging in my eyes
As my own tears are traitors
Far from soothing
Stinging and sharp burning sensation
Dissolving into a heap
Of no relief

Mind keeps chugging the over thinking train
No matter how hard I try
It’s all in vain
Clutching to the pillow
In hopes that all will normalize
Again
Valiantly trying
Sleep over takes the final fatigue

~Divine
