In the fading of the light
The dying of the day
Hope does linger on
Love always finds a way

Trapped inside this demon cage
Distorted desires vie with rage
No warped perceptions incarnate rise
As smoke & mirrors conceal our demise
The games we play within our minds
Let slice n dice killers run amok in design

Bide your time for there is no rush
At the crossroads of life there is only hush
Lay down your dogs upon the ground
Let them growl their worst in vicious sound
At the dead of night she’ll soon be here
Mother of the Dead & always so near

In burnished hues she illuminates her world
A glowing beauty set ablaze in Fall shades
Where coloured feelings blend and merge
In an emotional maelstrom highlighted with joy
#BeautizmLove

Tick tock tick tock
Hands move on
It never ends
I know he’s near
So very close
I feel his heat
It’s hard to breathe
Anticipation builds
My beating heart
Sensation floods
My mouth so dry
It’s been so long
But I know why
His wife, U know
Our “ointment” fly

FREAKISHLY BEAUTIFUL
Or so they said
But not to her face
Too much had she bled
INVISIBLE SCARS
Within her mind
Coloured her view
And made her blind
To the wondrous potential
Of all she could be
If only she’d imagine
She’d then be set free
#DimpleVerse
...
These urban canyons that time left behind
Echo with unfulfilled dream scheme screams
Forgotten alleys in debris scattered shadows
Vie with rat ridden roadways where only ghosts roam

Guardian angel longing to be free
Trapped in a city choked by humanity
Shackled and chained by the Gods long ago
She gazed at the sun with hopeful eyes
Dreaming of dancing under shimmering blue skies

How cruel the Gods that torture me
With wishful thinking dreams of thee

...
Come closer, they tempt
With their cruel sly smiles
My flesh crawls in warning
As my heart is beguiled
I’m torn between running
Far far away
Or succumbing to Fate
To die another day
#MadCarnival #darkcircus #madverse
...
Read my lips
Never my eyes
I am a deceiver
I can not deny
Nothing is real
All in your mind
Life is so cruel
No one is that kind
#VerseAngel
...
Cherry hues to beguile my eyes
No sweeter fruit do I crave a taste
Fate clothed in temptation’s veils
Lures me with a seductive siren call
And with a groan I surrender my soul
The punishment worth the spiralling fall
#IntrigueVerse 147
...
From lips that speak the prophecy
Fortunes are spun within webs of wonder
Draped in feathers, gems and gold
The Fate of all is mysteriously foretold
We kneel before the Oracle supreme
Wrapped in awe that this is no dream

That first glimpse
A mere soupçon
Barely a taste
Set the spark to the flame
Igniting my interest
My over weaning curiosity
Leaving me breathless
Poised on the edge
Ready to soar
Spread my wings
Freedom beckons
With only a step
#DimpleVerse #BardBits

Always BREAKING RULES
A free spirit INVITING TROUBLE
BLINDFOLDED and uncaring
She danced on a knife edge
Tempting Fate
And the Devil smiled
Knowing he’d won
#DimpleVerse #BardBits
...
Of death and roses
He spoke to me
Within dreaming shrouds
Weaving mysteries
Draped in mourning
Moonlight and shadows
Halloween beckoned
And the Devil smirked “hello”

Whisper it softly
Ripples in a pond
Say it slowly
Savour each sound
Lighten your heart
Set your fears aside
Step out from the shadows
Take centre stage
Trust in yourself
You’re free of the cage
#verseangel 209
...
With every breath
Each beat of his heart
He fell ever deeper
Couldn’t bear to part
The essence of her
So precious and pure
Became his whole world
His last wish coming true

Mysterious discovery from the past
I call your name in a spell softly cast
Reveal yourself - be unafraid
I mean no harm and patiently wait
For the wonders of Nature to unfold
The way she falls a glory to behold

#PoemTrail 300
...
All consuming darkness is all I need
In silent shelter where none can see
Patiently nursing my aching desires
For the one who comes cloaked in night
Turn off the lights and let the shroud fall
Mourning shall come when we heed the call
#verseangel 210
...
Let the flames burn
Consuming all
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Into the fires of vanity
We pour our hearts
As the inferno rises
Our new life starts
