CAMELOT FANTASIES

Harness and spurs
Through the night
Thieves and ruffians
Their moss set alight

Theft - war - vengeance
Forever their trade
From the East to the West
Nowhere were men safe

Bolt the iron door
Pray hard it holds fast
For if it does not
This night’ll be your last

#Ballad

A river of blood
Across a lamenting land
They did so carve
With sword and lance in hand

Their time now gone
Long in the past
Dust to dust
We let them rest

No more shall they ride
These forsaken hills
Yet their memory lives on
Their echoes heard still

#Ballad
...
Beautiful Selene shining bright
Lonely beacon in the night
Trailing stars in brilliant stream
Shimmering diamonds so serene
Radiating dazzling luminescence
That boomerangs across the universe

#DimpleVerse
...
As Summer wanes to a golden glow
Just before the return of snow
Comes a time of harvest yield
& farmers gather bounty from fields
We welcome Autumn in all it’s glory
Dazzling hues of red, gold & brown
Mother Nature does wear her crown
September days - I love you so

#beautizmlove
...
Test her metal without remorse
Be not gentle in the art of force
Flesh & blood enshrouds a frame
Formed in alchemy without shame
A spine chilling cyborg beauty revealed
Layer by layer with exquisite precision
Her humanoid flesh unpeeled

...
Oh wicked deceit!
You stabbed me true
Right through the heart
Oh how could you!

Thunderstorms now rage
Deep in my soul
My peaceful world
Now consumed whole

Tempestuous demons
Whisper to me
Probing for weakness
& finding it easily

Strange dreams they come to me
Day and night they torment me
I cannot see what they portray
These hidden messages just for me
Mind bending perceptions
They wear me out
This cannot continue
Of that I’ve no doubt

#madVerse
...
Wide open spaces do call to me
Those DREAMY MOUNTAINS
The wild country
Beyond wild flower meadows
Where butterflies dance
I’m in awe of the HORIZON
My soul can just breathe

#DimpleVerse
...
Upon gossamer wings
Whisper soft
He comes to me
My guardian angel
In times of trouble
He seems to know
Wrapping me close
Never letting me go
He gives me strength
Calm and peace
He sets my aching heart
Always at ease

#VerseAngel
...
Oh I remember
You were the first
Who fed my hunger
Quenched my thirst
Did you know it then
As I know it now
What I would become
When we made that vow
Neath a full blood moon
All Hallows’ Eve
We swore in blood
We did then believe

#poetry
...

Love’s myth holds true
It does overcome
He who lived in darkness
She who walked in the sun
His legendary solitude
His burden so harsh
Called to her compassion
Beckoned her soft heart
To draw him to light
As he’d protect her from the dark

(🎨Anna Pazyniuk)

#PoemTrail 287
...

In the long winter of your absence
When my soul did slumber
There was only everlasting night

#WrittenRiver
...
With FEARLESS grace
He threw himself from the cliff
Unto the waiting blue
Endlessly tumbling
DOUBTLESS wondering
If the sea was his friend

#DimpleVerse #23words
...

Addictive poison without regret
I quench my thirst and yearn for more
These venomous veins beneath our skin
Black as the demons we’ve let within

Prompt 293 #DarkLines

(📷Magistus)
...
Behind a veil
The moon has retreated
Her silver light
Now hidden from view
The world spins on
The hours tick by
Will she return?
What chased her away?
Guess we’ll never find out why

#becomingfragile
...

Stranded upon some faraway island
Left high and dry upon the sand
My gaze turned outward towards the sun
Unsure what I’m searching for
Is it for more people or sweet solitude I yearn?

#verseAngel
...

Oh precious heaven that was foretold
A land of silver and shimmering gold
We came so far across the wild sea
Over mountains vast to a flowing prairie

#DimpleVerse
...

Come morning’s rosy fires
Gracing the misty skyline
What was revealed
In smouldering splendour
A nightmare come real
In a fate destiny did render

#WrittenRiver
...
Erratic emotions
Spiralling control
Twist my mind
Consume my soul
Funky dreams
Or nightmares come real
Desires unleashed
In a fantasy revealed

#SlamWords 🎨FabienPerez
...
Whispers in corners
Condemning eyes
Those busybodies
I so despise
“outlandish” they said
“kinky” they accused
But I saw the jealousy
Behind their words
The burning curiosity
That left them disturbed

#SlamWords
...
Words and images
Both strange and peculiar
Appear before me
Yet seem so familiar
What do they mean?
Or even foretell?
Are they of heaven?
Or worse
Of Hell?
