A landscape set ablaze
Nature's bonfire 2 the glory of Autumn's fall
B4 Winter's ice freezes our world
We bathe in fiery warmth
#ShapePoetry
...
Spun from candy cotton nightmares
Something's coming
Slithering from a demonic womb
It's howling scream to shatter the night
#MadCarnival
...
Freedom breathes its peace into my soul
Gentle slide of invisible fingers
To rifle my tumbling locks
Blowing in the open air
#SableSwanV
...
Above the burning shoreline
High upon a cliff
Sentinels gaze in silent condemnation
Of the thieving smugglers
Stealing ashore

Moonlight spiders
shimmer
in the willow leaves
as they weave night's web

Starlight captured in shimmering strands
To mesmerise my unwary eyes
Draw me deeper
Tempt me from my path
Entrancing my soul
@Banquozghost
@MercurialNight
Deeper
ever deeper
I sink
the entwining sigh sublime
this enchanting light
that calls
draws me far away
from mundane cares
...
Within your shimmering gaze
Are rain clouds gathering
To drench
In a flood of tears
Your ashen cheeks
At this our last farewell
#ShapePoetry
...
Tread with care, friend
Beware the demon behind the smile
''Tis not only gold they'll steal
2 the Carnival
Yr ripe 4 plucking
#MadCarnival
..
Steadfast courage draining fast
Gaze fixed upon a beckoning siren
Icy glide of nails down your spine
Dare U follow your doom?
#MadCarnival
...
I thought I could
U proved me wrong
Making me beg
Yr lowest triumph
I gave U the power
U took full measure
All of me
U just took
#dsubverse
...
Clouded by darkness
Lost in the shadows
He patiently waits
Though aeons may pass
Appetite unappeased
For U he shall count the hrs
#DarkLines
...
Ethereal shadows float
On the edge of consciousness
Corporeal memories fading
Wisps of life dwindling
Unwilling to x that bridge
#DarkLines
...
Flickering beacons beckon
Smugglers on the prowl
From the shadows they rise
To salvage a fortune
Or risk their necks
On the noose
#Ashverse
...
Temptation spills forth
Drowning inhibitions
Swamping my parched senses
In a lake of desire
Quench my thirst
If you but dare
#DsubVerse
...
Come lie beside me
Here in the meadow
& we shall talk
Of distant places
Forgotten faces
Turning the pages
Gently
Of our memories
#SableSwanV
...
Blown in upon a predatory wind
To suffocate the cotton candy joy
Marauding carnivores run wild
Leaving a barren pitiless waste
#MadCarnival
...
Embrace the night
The Stygian gloom
Wrap it tight
Drown yr fear
Behind the scenes
Hidden in shadow
Lurks that which U fear most
#MadCarnival
...
Brushing my senses
Talons scrape
Searching
My weakness
Seeking
My downfall
Beware their smiles
Evil incarnate
Close encounters
#MadCarnival
...
Transfixed by the gaping hole
I tumbled in
My scream echoing
Endlessly I fell
My mind shattering
From an abyss without escape
#horrorprompt
...
Forgive me
I whispered
Crumpled on my knees
Fervent gaze urgent
Guilt a cross I now must bear
Your pain a knife to my heart
#SenseWrds 173
...
One small sin
2 cast such a shadow
Dogging my steps
A poisonous shadow
A festering sore
2 be lanced
Set free
In urgent confession
#AsymLife
...
Prowling forward in shaded stealth
Leaning 2 brush an icy kiss of death
Unheeding my predatory poison
Waiting hungrily on my lips
#DarkLines
...
Lash me with an insatiable tongue
I shall not bend
Nor kneel to yr will
Bind me tight
In knots of desire
Capture my mind
Tease me
#DsubVerse
...
Smoke & fury
Upon a wind blown horizon
A fiery glow in the night
Shadows writhe
Upon exhausted faces
This one hell of a night
#SenseWrds 174
...
Fallen
They whispered
Beyond all grace
Lost to the world
For now
Fortunes Wheel spun
Cast out
Who once was high
Now brought low
