CAMELOT FANTASIES

A duet

Red iron trees
beset with rust
sinking as they rise
a slow return to dust

.@Banquozghost

Subsiding to ash
Dissolving to dust
Blown away on the wind
To land where they must

@MercurialNight
Stir the dust

Lay out the rusted blade
the tainted implements

Make corruption's invocation

See them rise again
from ash

incantations
1 by 1
watch them grow
towards the sun
we built them 1st
designed with hope
yet here we kneel
a slippery slope

@Banquozghost

@MercurialNight
Grow until
a burdened earth
groans
beneath the weight
of awful aspiration.
Sick surfaces slick
with dark intent,
quivering.

Silent giants
Held at bay
They strain to unleash their rage

Mankind watches
Holds its breath
Encased within this cage

@Banquozghost

@MercurialNight
The rasp and rattle
of restraining steel,
eclipsed by thunder's peel.
Heavens shake
with wrath at the ungodly risks
we take
