CAMELOT FANTASIES

In some sleepy hollow
Where slow moving waters drift
Weeping willows bow their heads
Their trailing fronds in gentle glide
Upon the calm mysterious quiet bayou
Soothing the spirits of those we knew

...
Love’s tender flame
Gently aglow
To light the dark corners
Chase shadows away
In grace we offer prayers
For an Easter blessing
Sweet and safe

#beautizmlove
...
A spirit lost
Forever in hiding
Studying the world
Loud and cruel
From behind a lens
Detached
Withdrawn
Untouched by life
Yet craving abandon
To taste temptation
Without the pain
Touch the sun
To live
Again

In periwinkle dreams
There you are
And always will be
Just on the periphery
Almost within reach
Ever in perpetual motion
Walking away

#DimpleVerse #23words
...
In perfect balance
Sweet harmony
We tilt and turn
Give and take
Yet always as one
Each half of the whole
In synchronisation

#dimpleverse #23words
...

Crumbling disorder amidst beauty unbound
Paradise lost in but a moment
Beneath stormy skies that frown and curse
Their wild rushing breath upon blessed utopia

#SenseWrds 380
...

The bottom of the glass
Unto the last drop
I searched for you
My aching heart
Telling me to stop

I tasted you though
Rough and smooth
On the tip of my tongue
Those intoxicating memories
Ever of you

#Ashverse
...

As Spring buds burst forth
Heralding herbaceous resurrection
Of new life in an ageing world
Warmed by a shy sun
Breaking through Winter’s cloaking embrace

#TastyPoem
...
All that glitters
In glorious shimmer
Conceals a darkness
Hidden demons
Look no deeper
Than your fears
What lies beneath
Terror and tears

#darklines
...

Beneath an obstinate light
A stranger waits for me
As dark as sin
He watches
Marking the passing of time
By the path of the moon
I know him not
Yet he knows me
The bell has been struck
My fate in his hands
To this point
Am I brought
In his web
Am I caught

#BlackDahliaProse
...
On tranquil waters
We have sailed
A river of dreams
Bearing us away
As the day fades
To a gentle glow
We lose ourselves
Floating onward
To a nowhere place
Only the waters know

#SenseWrds 381
...

Murderous cascades of crows do flock
Upon the eve of a blood moon rising
They cloak the earth in graven shadow
Shattering the silence with harsh cacophony
High above where the blood wheat does grow

#DarkLines
...

Weaving his magic
With words most lyrical
He conjured a POEM
OF THE PILLOW sensual
Drowning my mind
In VISUAL GRAMMAR
Wrapped in imagery
Passionately clever

#DimpleVerse
...
Upon life’s mercurial LOOM
Two LOVERS weave their tale
Puppets to the whim of Fate
They play their doomed parts
The thread of life unspooling
Though hearts LEVITATE in hope
To be yet crushed to dust
& still the music plays softly on

🎨Rene Magritte 'the lovers II' 
#PoeVerse
...
In some sweet bower
Beneath a MOSSy oak
She lays her head down
Upon MOIST softness
To dream
To wish
MOST of all

#DimpleVerse #23words
...

Retracing my steps
Meandering and slow
I go tripping through memories
Of everywhere yet nowhere
Faces I knew
Their names long forgotten
The past but a dream away
Beyond the shimmering misty veil

#SenseWrds 382
...
Tenacious thoughts spurred on by malicious demons
Cage a mind raked by razor clawed memories
Dragging me down with unrelieved vicious intent
Into the ravenous, voracious, gaping maw
Of Hell’s own nightmare fired and raw

#TastyPoem
...
I walk a line
Twixt light & dark
None know I’m there
Nor do they care
Spurned long ago
I drift alone
Thru valleys deep
Rain & snow
My name 4gotten
It doesn’t matter
4 2 speak it now
My heart wld shatter
Leave me B
Pass on by
Don’t look back
Heed not my cry

#DarkLines #arielpoets
...

Cast aside
Yesterday’s news
He walked alone
Nothing left to lose
An empty husk
Of once a man
A ghost existing
Out on the edge
Looking on
But never back
Nothing to see there
Just empty tracks
Fading fast
With the dying light
By tomorrow he’s gone
Erased from sight

#SenseWrds 383
...
She knew he was there
Just out of sight
Beyond her reach
The fading of the light
A wraith upon sands
Ever sifting with the tide
Searching the horizon
Prayers to the Gods
Silently spill
The paradox of fate
Torturing her lovelorn soul
