CAMELOT FANTASIES

DRIFTING along NEGLECTED alleys
Lurking upon street CORNERs
The DEBRIS of life strewn
With none to ASK WHY
Crying DON'T DO it

#DimpleVerse

...
Careless whispers in the dark
Softly spilling from passions lips
Stripped bare in the light of day
While shamed eyes turn away
#DimpleVerse


..Rumours flew
On swift envious wings
Careless whispers
That did rend
A talent so rare
In peace may he rest
As I offer a prayer

#DimpleVerse

...
From the mint
To the chocolate
In layers sublime

Decadent essence
Tinctures so sweet
Buds of taste
To deny would be a crime

#SenseWrds 209

...
With a bow to the Bishop
She doth ride
With a Knight so bold
By her side

@ljgrodecki @whykatwrites @CarolineBuffa @WSJ

...
Nature's appetite shall surely be appeased by such a tempting feast spread for her delectation

#luckypawn

@ljgrodecki @whykatwrites

...
Upon gossamer wings
Let her take flight
To the stars she will fly
Drowned in moonlight

#writtenriver

...
Torn from our grip
Blown away
Lost on life's capricious breeze

Memories of us
Of what we had
Scattered as if Autumn leaves

#SenseWrds 209

...
Left upon a shelf
A WELL THUMBED volume
Concealing HIDDEN PLEASURES
and fragrant SECRET PASSAGES
Within her FRAGILE BINDING

#DimpleVerse

...

Dreamy gaze of a forest shade
Hides concealed in wonderland
A fairytale unfolding
In sweeping imagination
Of a damsel waiting
#SenseWrds 210

...
We stand upon the cusp of destiny
Anticipation a dread stone in our bellies
To face the dawn and what may come
What Lady Fate has in store

@MercurialNight @beth_radley
Grim mouths muttering
soldiers' prayers
we meet the charge
with steel and leather

No quarter asked
none given

Valorous hearts stoutly defend
A swathe they cut
Steps traced in blood
That in the final hour
When all appears lost
To win in glorious power

@MercurialNight @beth_radley Hot blood cools
to aching wounds
and broken bones

Victory's cup aloft
we honour those who fell

We bury them


And toast their memories
In years to come
Around the hearths of our future
They shall be forever young

@Banquozghost @beth_radley


@MercurialNight @beth_radley

They had my back.
I knew them.
Each year, a cup,
I speak the names.
They died.
We lived on ..
I know not why.


Brothers they were
And still remain
We honour their bravery
As we remember their names

@Banquozghost @beth_radley


...Fragile glass bridges
Built on soft dreams
Reflected in hopeful eyes
Stretch across this wasteland
Denying our uncertain feeling

#MadVerse

...
In the silence of snow
Where invisible sight may not penetrate
Nor shed tears flow
Where all is pristine
No past to soil such purity

#NMCRP

...
Such simple white lies
He meant so well
Yet they cut as sharply
As deeply
As sweetly
As any knife
When the truth came to light

#DimpleVerse

...

To find a rainbow
We must go through some rain
It washes and cleanses
Sweeps away all the pain

...
Tracing each beloved contour
Memorising all that makes U U
I shall remember
Forevermore
A view of my life
When it included you

#ShapePoetry

...
My midnight wish
As I gaze at the stars
An unguarded secret
In this moment in time
Is that he shall return
& once more
Be mine

#Poem_Pocket

...
My midnight wish
As I gaze at the stars
An unguarded secret
In this moment in time
Is that he shall return
& once more
Be mine

#Poem_Pocket

...
An eternal companion
Patient
Forever there
Wherever we go
Forgiving
Knowing we'll return
A tranquil haven
Of mute serenity

@Banquozghost

...

Feet tap tapping
Ambience heady with JAZZ ZEST
Voices all SING SING SING
Smokes in LIGHT UP
REQUISITE STAMINA of all in roar

#DimpleVerse

...
Torn apart
Fate denied our love
As I watched U sail to sea
Yet here on the shore
In waiting
I shall watch
For the return of thee
#fieryverse

...
Carnal desires undenied
Insatiable appetites hunger to be appeased
Taking without hesitation
Casting aside lingering inhibitions

#DsubVerse

...

Charms of gold
Eyes of green
Her mystic sight
Truth or dream

Breaking fate
She cannot do
Fortunes are set
And beyond her view

#madVerse

...
Hurtling in wild confusion
Spinning out of control
Tumbling towards a destiny unknown
While colliding thoughts rage and boil

#fieryverse

...

Trust in yourself
If no one else
When faith is broken
It rends your world
Ruptures fragile bonds
Take two steps back
Breathe
#Rhythmic_Words

...
A new chapter beckons
Just within reach
My hope in dreams
A promise awaiting
Just a few unknown steps away
Beyond the rainbow

#PoemTrail

...
Ancestors watch
Whisper
Guide
In them we trust
By our side
Pierce the veil
Betwixt hidden worlds
Voodoo vixen mysteries
Unfurled
#DarkLines

...

Considering the headstone in silence, I whispered how did you die? My search now over, my brother found yet not as I remember
#zealouswriter

...

Deep within the heart
An ancient wisdom resides
Locked deep
A memory of times long past
That could be again
If we but knew the key
#madVerse

...
Unleashed upon the night's mercy
She was a vibrant living flame
To revel in such wanton decadence
Consumed in his salacious game
#DsubVerse

...
A lonely pilgrim
His blistered feet
Bloody footprints
Trailing a torturous path
In devout expression
Towards his saintly goal
#SenseWrds 215

...
Ghostly open the horizon
Sentinel spires watch o'er a silent land
A sharp rebuke visible to all
To warn against humanity's fall

#fieryverse

...
When tender buds burst to life
& Winter no more cuts like a knife
Then in vibrant hues
Shall Nature clothe her virgin self

#writtenriver

...
Exploding from her earthen cage
Nature fountains in liquid exultation
Cascading droplets
To celebrate in foamy profusion

#DimpleVerse

...
Cloaked in gentle velvet
Glittering stars grace the heavens
While far beneath
In the calm & quiet
I weave my secret dreams
#writtenriver 914

...

Strangers in the night
Neath shining stars
We met
Saw something in the other
Ephemeral
Raw
It captured us
Just for a moment

#SenseWrds 216

...

With just a gentle gossamer touch
Slowly stroking the length of an arching spine
I murmured my surrender
As he whispered my name
#DsubVerse

...


With a damsel's cry
A knight so bold
Swore his chivalrous vow
To rescue this maiden
As his dying king
Sought mystical salvation

#PoemTrail

...
A seductive lure
It calls 2 me
Whispers my name
With an offer 2 feed
Drawing me in
Bound by blood
Falling into your crimson abyss
#DarkLines

...
A lonely traveller upon the road
Searching 4 he knew not what
Unknowing the perfect pearl he sought
Always awaited him at home

#DimpleVerse

...
A bud in bloom
Warmed by the sun's love
She blossoms
Yet swift
Sudden
In jealous rage
The hoar frost
Cages her vibrant display

#ShapePoetry

...
398 #Ashverse

Beneath the unholy mountains
Where the sun paints red the barren earth
A haunting presence awaits
With a pitiless blank stare

...

Give me a reason
He prompted
Silken promise a subtle threat

And from the shadows
A flame flickered to life
As she confessed all

#DsubVerse

...
A dynasty fallen into ruin
Their velvet n steel rule
Destroyed
From their ashes so cruel
Ignites a firestorm
& a land won by fools
#madVerse

...
Tattered remnants
All that remain
Threadbare memories
Barely even a name
Lost in time
One by one
Shadows fading
'Til all R gone

#fieryverse

...
Perhaps you've heard
Maybe not
Rumours mischievously fly
No one can tell
What's right or wrong
Or even stop to ask why?

#VerseAngel

...
Drifting away
Untethered
She lay herself down
Amidst strewn lilies
Dusty petals
Falling
One by one
She whispered goodbye
And fell
#DarkLines

...

Let's take a walk
BEYOND THE PINES
2 where the river flows
Leave our TANGIBLE GHOSTs behind
2 the mercy of a MISTY CRYSTAL BALL
#DimpleVerse

...
I'm a slave to U
Yr scent
Yr touch
2 the madness that U bring

The rush of desire
The drenching passion
& everything in between

#DsubVerse

...

Silent stealth
Prowling the shadows
Patiently stalking his prey

Flowing like water
Through the trees
Before the dawning day

#SenseWrds 218

...
With an undimming light
She flourished in hope
Her belief in herself
Her world
Unflagging
A spirit so strong
To never B crushed

#fieryverse

...

From passion's crimson shade
To desire's uninhibited noir
Each seduces the senses
Sheathes the mind

@BdWhizz

...
THE PROMISE sworn
He paused
His eyes upon THE CROSSING
PLAYING WITH FIRE
& humourless Fate
COMETH THE HOUR
Would she be here?

#DimpleVerse

...

Keep your eyes on me
On none other
I'll be what you desire
Give unto you
In carnal submission
That which you urgently need

#DsubVerse

...
I sense their eyes on me
Measuring
Devouring
Yearning to touch
Their straining desires leashed
Chained
Begging to be freed

#DsubVerse

...
Unravelling strands
One by one
Truth
Now a silent corpse
Dashed upon the floor
Time has run out
And so has your luck

#SenseWrds 219

...

Would he rescue me?
My loyal white knight
Who in the stormy tempest that is my life
Swore his ardent faith upon bended knee

#VerseAngel

...

If you allow your feet
To follow the path
Neither faltering
Nor losing your way
Then in the end
Shall you find your way home

#ShapePoetry

...
Upon the crow of the ****
Shall dawning rays creep
To measure the passing of time
Upon these patient silent sentinels

#SenseWrds 220

...
Pure magic danced in the heavens
Weaving her spells along the way
While all below
In wondrous disbelief
We gazed & knelt 2 pray
#DimpleVerse

...
How shall a man's worth be measured?
In his words or by his deeds?
And shall your's be measured
Upon how you think to answer?

#SableSwanV

...
One Winter eve
A long time ago
When night fell too soon
Followed by snow
All was silent
As if waiting
Beneath the shining moon

#fieryverse

...
Wild uninhibited fire
Senses inflame
A conflagration of promise
Burning bright in my eyes
Desire sparks ablaze
As I lose control

#DsubVerse

...
Mute
Tho they've tongues 2 speak
Blind
Tho they've eyes 2 see
Indifferent
They only stand & watch
After all
What will be
Will be

#DarkLines

...
Amidst a plethora of lies, she stumbled upon one truth

#hangtenstories

...
When his world crushed down
A burden he could accept no more
She came
The tinder to his spark
An ember that sprung forth
To lighten the dark

...
To fife and drum
Onward they marched
Rebel gray
Union blue
Bitter depths
Brothers in blood
Taking a side
Now brothers in feud

#TastyPoem

...

He was the bitter pill
The stone in my shoe
The storm cloud on my horizon
And whatever the cost
I'd just have to pull through

#SableSwanV

...
Prayers
Softly whispered
Beside candles
Warmly aglow
Illuminating the corners
Where shadows will not go

#VerseAngel

...
Touch me here
If U dare
Brand your name
Say a prayer
Drown my senses
Flood my mind
Deliver my dreams
Tangled up
Forever entwined

#DsubVerse

...

All four seasons
Rolled into one
The essence of you
Is Summers warmth
Winters ice
Autumns glow
And Springs refreshing birth

#DimpleVerse

...
Unwilling to face the truth, she didn't ask the question

#hangtenstories

...
Chaos reigns
Rage burns
A 1,000 throats scream as one
Frantic eyes
In hopeful search
Entreat the gods
"halt what has begun"

#SenseWrds 221

...

Sorrow came in waves
Each a ravaging blow
Tearing at my defences
Breaking down my walls
Immersing my soul
Quenching my flame

#TastyPoem

...

Did I take you for granted?
Thinking always you would be there
A faithful voice at my side
Now an empty space
A dream squandered
#fieryverse

...

Mystical veil
Oh part for me
Allow my eyes
Your secrets to see
Mysterious lover
In soft moonlight
Goddess I beg you
Hear my plight
#madVerse

...
Splintered fragments
Forever shattered
Fractured shards
Scattered dreams
Crumbling ruins
Lives once lived
Dust upon the wind

#IntrigueVerse

Tug on that thread
Gently unravel my world
Tumble my thoughts
In slow chaotic confusion

#fieryverse

...
Years slip away
Seasons turn
And the World passes slowly by

Yet here we stand
Side by side
To face what comes
Simply you and I

#VerseAngel

...
Aching sorrow
Twists and writhes
As a serpent slithering
Choking my heart
Those wistful memories
Of a time before
Haunting me
#IntrigueVerse

...
A southern belle
She ruled them all
Uncrushed by war
She forged her path
Her steely resolve
The armour
Relentlessly she wore

#SenseWrds 225

...
Fierce denial came easily
I wouldn't
I couldn't
I'd come so far
I knew it was wrong
My conscience pricked
Behind me only fear
#VerseReversal

...
The day you came
When the sun rose high
Shedding light & warmth
Into my darkest corners
That wonderful perfect day

#elixirpoetry

...

Our passion burned too hot
Our conflagration unstoppable
In a pyre of hungry desire
& all that is left?
This warming afterglow

#DimpleVerse

...

When the music takes hold
I let myself go
Surrendering
Throw myself into the stream
And float where the rhythm bears me

#TastyPoem

...

Fate brought us here
But which to go?
The path so easy
Where roses bloom?
Or the way strewn with thorns?
Laden with doom

#SenseWrds 226

...

In the dead of night
When all is laid bare
Then shall the soul of Man be weighed
And a full reckoning be accounted

#ShapePoetry

...
In one night
Driven by demons
He became my morbid fascination
Answer to a prayer I never sought
A path leading to my damnation
#ElixirPoetry

Thank you for your poetic heart
Expressed Lady Winters Tale

Many beautiful words expressed
With grand spirit

Love and light

~Divine

Lost n alone
Abandoned by life
She stared at a future in shadow
Her vacant gaze
Without energy or spark
Waited for another blow
#SableSwanV

...
A bittersweet BRIEF ENCOUNTER
As Summer's LOVE IN EXCESS
Turns thru Autumn n Winter to dismay
& SPRING's ELUSIVE SCENT blooms

#DimpleVerse

...
Layer by layer
With each passing day
Reveals new depths
My shields peeled away
All of me
I give to you
Respect my gift
As I ❤️U

#DsubVerse

...
Tempted by beckoning stars above
Icarus dreamed of soaring high
A chrysalis shedding his fleshy cage
He would one day fly

#SenseWrds 231

...
Strident dischord ruptured the night
Raucous laughter flayed our senses
Demons crawled just out of sight
Always probing defences

#AsymLife

...
Winter's dawn spills slowly
Her pale glow
Hesitant upon the horizon
Draws back the night
Unveiling a fresh new day

#writtenriver

...
He gazed
Enraptured
Lost in her beauty
This sensual sorcery
Spun from dreams
Evoking the elements
Of mysterious mystical desire

#PoemTrail

...
Queen of fire
Mistress of flame
Burning brighter than any sun
She dazzled
Beguiled
Held the universe in hypnotic sway

#DarkLines

...

In VOYEURistic MAYHEM
Cavorting as a nymph
Naked & nubile
With SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Who seduced my MIND
& CAPTURED my daring heart

#DimpleVerse

...
Willow wand suppleness
At your command
Bend me 2 your will
Tho never 2 break
Such masterful pleasure
Bestowed with a leather kiss
#dSubVerse

...
Caught in the undertow
Razor tipped fingers snatch
Pulling me under
Sinking deeper
Time contracts
In consuming suffocation

#DarkLines

...
This feverish wildfire
A river of fire
In volcanic fury
To flood my veins
In sacrificial immolation
I offer my heart to you

#ShapePoetry

...
This feverish wildfire
A river of fire
In volcanic fury

A Fairy tale recipe
Sprinkled with magic:

One poisoned apple
A sister or two
A single gass slipper
And a Prince so true

#VerseAngel

...
CRIMSON TEARS
In TORRENTIAL cascade
Do fall

Heaven's SAVING GRACE
To drench this flaming INFERNO
In a RAINFALL so blessed

#DimpleVerse

...
Leather soft kiss
Feather light stroke
Scent of seduction
Essence of you
These reminders you bestow
These memories we make

#DsubVerse

Leather soft kiss
Feather light stroke
Scent of seduction
Essence of you
These reminders you bestow
These memories we make

#DsubVerse

...

A haven offered
Sheltering arms
To hold so tight
From the storm to shield
No payment desired
But the peace I see in your eyes
#SenseWrds 233

...
In a barren land
That sleeps
Winters kiss
Harshly bestowed
2 long the nights
We search for light
& the warmth of a sun
Long gone

#DarkLines

...

Darkness comes
A silent assassin
Stealing across the land
Winters kiss
A satanic benediction
To crush sweet Mother Nature

#DarkLines

...
A step farther along the path
Another day closer to my dream
The aspiration I strive to achieve
As I transcend ever higher

#IntrigueVerse

...
Wicked pleasures
Seductively addictive
A truth undeniable
Yet hidden from sight
My vanilla world
Twisted around
Set free at last
#DsubVerse

...
Tho blessed with the SOUL OF A POET
Within the JEWELLED DEPTHS of MY FRIENDs gaze
Lay a burning deception
His LION HEART feared
#DimpleVerse

...

Fading soul
Mysterious seclusion
Surrounding silence

#sixwordstory

Rumours run
As poison thru veins
Insidious mistrust
Vengeful deceit
To flood
In toxic delusion
An embattled mind
Without rest

His arms offer sanctuary
A bastion against the world
With him I'd escape
Take flight
Be set free
If I but have the courage...

#SableSwanV

...
Two parts of a whole
They breathed as one
Through one
Ran the life blood
Of the other
No twins could be closer
Nor so far apart

#DarkLines

...
Warmed by the sun
A gentle breeze
Tranquil serenity amidst country flowers
I laze
& dream
& think of you
Serenaded by bees

#writtenriver


...
Lured towards my doom
Drawn by that I cannot understand
These viridian treasures
Precious artifacts
That demand obeisance

#SenseWrds 235

...

Whispering echoes
Voices long faded
All that is left
In this marble perfection
The timeless beauty
Of Mans immortality

#DimpleVerse

...
Step by step
Little by little
I sank ever deeper
A quagmire of deception
With no way out
I turned my back
Waded in deeper
