CAMELOT FANTASIES

In the end
When all is said
And the sun has set
Where do I belong?

Familiar places
Empty of faces
I once did know
But now are gone

Forgiving what I’ve done
Seeking personal absolution
Back upon my feet
Though mired deep in destitution

#ashverse S2 E21
...

Drifting on a breeze
Without a single care
I’m a carefree wanderer
Travelling everywhere
My bed the soft grass
Above me only sky
The moon my nightlight
The river my lullaby
No walls shall encroach
Freedom is my name
Forever shall I roam
No day shall be the same

Bathed in soft morning light
She wore the kisses of the sun
Remembering his touch
How it all had begun
All just a game
Or so she told herself
Yet here she lay
Counting the hours
Until he would come again
Seducing her mind
Murmuring her name

The shadows we follow
Echoes of the past
Clouding our minds
Truly nothing shall last
Surrendering ourselves
With open minds
Seeking within
That elusive truth

Sable lashes concealing a dangerous mind
From a world grown cold, cruel and unkind
Silken veils that shield wicked thoughts
That inner demons commanded
From a soul overwrought

From the White rose of Winter
To the Red rose of summer
And the Seasons in between
She’s a bright light dancing
A breath of fresh air
Bringing joy and laughter
To everyone
Everywhere

#inkMine
...
Ethereal rays of gentle light
Delicate as diaphanous gossamer
Bathe the spiritual forest in mystery
As fleeting apparitions weave and flow
Casting their magic wherever they go

#DimpleVerse

See Jenny dancing
See Jenny running
See Jenny laughing
See Jenny screaming
Above her head
Silken locks streaming
Bloodcurdling balloons
Behind her streaking
Close they shadow
Wherever she flees
They’ll surely follow
Run Jenny, run
Far & fast
Away from me
Destiny cast

#DarkLines
...

Twin souls in passing
One Summer’s eve
Beneath GOLDEN ARCHes
In gilded luminescence
Did eyes meet and hearts beat
Fate drew them together
One unto the other
And capricious Gods smiled
& watched from SILKEN SHADOWS
As destinies unfolded
And prophesies evolved

#DimpleVerse
...

Alone without a home
And the wind whispers
“ME TOO”

#DimpleVerse #tenwords
...

In a time of dreams
Of hopes set free
I heard your voice
Whispering my name
Asked a question
I nodded
ME TOO

#DimpleVerse #23words
...

This blackout to be my mortal shroud
No starry starry night on high above
To light my path on this lonely road
Nightmares haunt my imagination
Echoes of fear and consternation
Trail my steps until termination

#horrorprompt 219
...

All is hushed reverence
We whisper a soft goodnight
To the sinking of the sun
And the closing of the day
In quiet solitude
Do we kneel
Give thanks
And pray

#zenverse
...

This veil of dreams
My ethereal shelter
Soothes my mind
Calms my soul
As the fog lifts
I clutch at fading wisps
That melt too fast
And leave me naked
At the accusing mercy
Of my turbulent past

Red and black
Crimson and noir
These be the colours
Of pain draped hearts
Their taste of happiness
To be hemlock flavoured
No bliss on this Earth
Shall they ever savour

#BlackDahliaProse
...

My soul a desert
Ravaged by time
Where nothing now grows
All is dust left behind

Then you came
A breath of fresh air
Bringing the rain
Showing you care

Quench my thirst
Drench my mind
Pull me under
Steal my time

We trail the steps of those before us
They are long gone yet still surround us
In the fading echoes of a dying breeze
Along crow road amidst crowding trees
Ethereal memories forever frozen
In a time immemorial we are the chosen

A devil unleashed in the dead of night
When all is silent and hidden from the light
She knew it was wrong yet still she dared
To ride the wave with no inhibition spared

Welcome night visitors
Ethereal and silent
They’re with me still

The ghosts that I called
One lonely night
So long ago

Spectral companions
I know them well
Sent from Heaven
Or really Hell?

No cosmic cunning mystery this
Secrets and lies laid in plain sight
For all to see who wish to
He prowls among the stars so bright
Woodland wisdom set Heaven high
To set ablaze in wonder the starry night

#PoemTrail 268
...

Through blood did we wade
Waist deep & more
Following the King
All the way to the enemy shore

Valorous honour  we wore that day
When Mars brandished his sword
& showed us the way

Here on the bank
Where the wild flowers bloom
Shall we make a stand
Or face our doom

#FIERYVERSE
...

Time and imagination
A dangerous combination
When nights are sultry
And blood runs hot
When dreams come true
Now I wait for you

#DimpleVerse #23words

His fiery oratory lit the spark
A flaming torch down through the years
In an all-consuming conflagration
The once smouldering wish of a nation
Became the raging inferno of freedom

#IntrigueVerse 132

SUMMER RAIN
Come fall on me
Drench me whole
I beg of thee
Bathe me in liquid DECADENCE
That this SPARSE desert
This parched spirit
May breathe once more
And flower again

From the light did she stray
A long time ago - year and a day
Now she trails within shadows deep
The Dark Nun they whisper
As by her they creep
No mortal gaze may view her form
She is a wraith foretelling the demonic storm

Her name was Fate
Though some did whisper
Destiny
Gazing spellbound
In midnight moonlight
As stars scatter
Across velvet skies
Celestial deities do bless
In brilliant cosmic luminescence
Her fame throughout the universe

#MadVerse
...

Look below the surface
Of pristine liquid serenity
Into a world where mermaids frolic
With flowing angelic fluidity
Enticing curious lustful eyes
That covet with greedy carnality
& succumb unto their siren call
And their elemental sensuality

Forced upon downward motion
snowdrifts footing still
frozen time and place
only echoes of sun
traces left behind
Shades of warmth
Barely a trace
This frozen wonderland
Do gently grace

A juggernaut out of control
A BOULDER unstoppable
Slamming through barriers
BOWLED OVER chaos strewn behind
BOLDER and bolder
He crashed on by

#DimpleVerse #23words
...

Fly the Black
Give no quarter
Take what you want
Give nothing back
The cry of The Brethren
Harsh and wild
They lived by a code
And by a code
Did they die
Without regret
Nor shame implied
They stood their ground
Or swung ‘til they died

#FieryVerse
...

The fife shall play
& the drum shall beat
Hear them echo
Down the years
In the Declaration
Of our hopes & fears

Fireworks blaze
In a Summer sky
Cold beer & laughter
A holiday high
In the air is a sense
Of excitement
& wonder
On this beautiful
