CAMELOT FANTASIES

A murderous circle of crows overhead
Betray my conscience, fear and dread
No blackbird mercy or penance paid
Shall ever condone the sins I have made

Prompt 294 #DarkLines

...Silence speaks louder than words
Commanding attention though nothing is heard
The ascent is so steep
Don’t think of the fall
Keep your eye on the prize
A crown of stone & thorns
Shall all be yours
On the dread day of judgement
If you hold your nerve

DELICATE STRENGTH
These ties that bind
A web of blood
Barely there
Yet felt so strong
TRANSPARENTly fine
Deceptively fragile
Yet hold us together
As worlds fall apart

#DimpleVerse
...

Come sing to me of wonders amazing
In a beautiful world full of treasures surprising
When I wander and drift within dreams
Let me imagine and think of a life supreme

#becomingfragile
...

Fields in bloom
Marching in line
No place for me
I’m chaos defined

#WrittenRiver
...
Mercurial Gods
Grown cold and cruel
Torment mankind
A barren wasteland
Once a paradise
Icy landscape now
Not worth much
Beneath a Winter Moon
We march along
Slaves to their whims
As the world still turns

#InkedMagic 36
...

Leaves whispering in the breeze
Sing to me gently - a sweet SYMPHONY
Listen with your soul
To the TREE SONGS of the forest

She was the jewel
The precious gem
Within his world
She shone so bright
No diamond found
Could ever match her
No better love found

Bury my heart
Deep and low
Behind the willows
Where none will go
Never forget me
I know you’ll try
For that alone
You’ll surely die
A black rose
All I need
To mark the place
Where I now sleep
But not for long
I shall return
A final revenge
And you shall burn

#WrittenRiver
...
Tattered remnants
Patchwork memories
Sewn together
With forgotten love
We are one
They seem to say
Yet not for long
Edges soon fray
As petals strewn
By a careless hand
The stitching unravels
Fragments are lost
And we are alone
In a desperate land

#BardBits
...
These are the precious GOLDEN MOMENTS
So FLEETING we barely notice them
Before they are gone and the sunshine fades
And we’re left in the dark chasing shadows

#DimpleVerse
...
Two souls reunited
Sweet emotional maelstrom
Did the universe align
Or were the Fates feeling kind?
Ephemeral hours
That’s all they allow
Until we’re torn apart
Set spinning wide
Until the next time
Tis never goodbye

#BecomingFragile
...
Beyond the veil
They patiently wait
Always so close
Never far away
In the dead of night
When all is quiet
You can hear them whisper
Call your name
Beckon from the shadows
This isn’t a game
Beware your fears
They thrive on them
Hungering
Thirsting

...
Wistful day dreamer weaving such hopes
That never can be in the cold light of day
Here in the dark the truth is so harsh
Where you are is the one place I never can be
Where you are is the one place my love is set free

...
With or without you
I’ll never forget you
The world spins on
Nothing is the same

The sun shall rise
The moon shall wane
And I’m left here
Calling your name

#beautifulmess
...

FOOTSTEPS IN THE MIST
Heard yet unseen
They pass on by
To where I know not
I strain to hear
A tear in my eye
But they are no more
Faded to nothing

#DimpleVerse #Autumn
...
Gild your brow in a crown so gold
King for a day so I am told
We bend the knee and bow so low
Yet your power is fleeting & gone by tomorrow

#verseangel
...
Fill me with fire
Watch me burn
Flames lick higher
I never learn

Touch my soul
Set me aflame
Watch me go down
Screaming your name

Igniting passion
All consuming
Ashes and dust
Barely breathing

Blood overheating
Oxygen low
Rampant excitement
How far shall we go?

#dsubverse
...

Look back in regret
Or is it relief?
Were we better together
Or did it cause grief?
Hindsight so easy
A simple task
Yet the pain is so deep
We still wear a mask

#beautifulmess
...
Scents so heady
Suffusing my senses
A delicious
Overpoweing
DECADENCE
ROSE GARDEN beauty
Serene and sublime
Blooming sensuality
Time after time
