CAMELOT FANTASIES

Do U know what you’re fighting for
When Fate comes knocking at yr door
For Queen & country you give yr all
Bravery & honour & so much more
& those you love & who love U
Offer a prayer & whisper yr name
That you’ll return home safe again

Beside babbling brooks
Within forests deep
Secrets lie waiting
For those who seek
With minds wide open
And do not condemn
Succumb to temptation
There is no one to tell
‘Tis just you and them
In your own private dell

Carpets of crimson
Memories of long ago
When those guns fell silent
Across a land blood sown
Let their souls now rest
In a peaceful grave
While we that are left
Today honour their names

In the colours of darkness I paint my world
This landscape of pain into which I am hurled
Ever searching for the elusive light in the dark
I fear all is lost yet there’s still hope for that spark

My wish
My wonder
This gold
My plunder
So precious
And gleaming
Each precious coin
Leaves me squealing

Gold
...
Crouched and waiting
Surveying her prey
A feline huntress
Prowling your way
With glittering cat eyes
Unblinking stare
She patiently waits
She has all day
Stalking beneath
The jungle heat
There’s nowhere to hide
After all she must eat

Infiltrate my mind
Permeate my soul
With every word
Each perfect touch
You wrap me tighter
Draw me closer

#DimpleVerse
...

In some bayou where waters are still
Lake dwelling lovers quietly rest
Listening to a midnight cabaret
Sweet and soft of chirruping crickets
That gently lace the evening air
In a last swan song before Winter comes

Come into my world
The cruel spider beckoned
To the innocent fly
Not understanding the legend

Not all as it appears
All that glitters
May not be gold
Beware the cruelty of life
Or down you go
Never to grow old

#VerseAngel
...

Deep in the forest
Where no-one goes
There lives an old lady
Who no-one knows
But she knows you
And made special plans
Something hot for supper
With a little bite
You’ll not feel a thing
If the cut is just right

#projectfairytale #hanselandgretel
...

This dark craving that torments my soul
Flesh and blood bound in demonic coil
Slave to the yearning that flows in my veins
Consumed by lust for the sound of pain

#sinistersunday 12

Reaching out
But you never saw
You walked on by
Cutting me to the core
Was I just a step?
A face long forgotten?
Cast aside in your wake
My heart harshly trod on

#MelancholyVerse 58
...

Where feet have trod so many miles
She walked the forgotten trail
Memories of those who came before
Walk at her side through whispering grass

#soyouwritesat
...

What gravy is to potatoes
You are to me, my love
The light in my darkness
The haven in the storm
This emotional banquet
Sensual savoury feast
May it be never ending
May it end before a priest💍

Beyond the horizon
There is a place
Caressed by warm winds
Kissed by gentle waves
Where you and I
On soft powdered sands
Can lie back and dream
While holding hands

#Dimpleverse #FASTpoetryhour
...

Within my soul
In some secret nook
I feel it there
The tidal pull
Calling me down
To where you wait
Drawn like no other
Fate does dictate

#DimpleVerse #FASTpoetryhour
...

No sweeter sound
To my ear
That the call of the sea
Drawing me near
Her siren song
Sweet and low
Soul caressing
Sweeping me below
The waves above
Close overhead
I am no more
Yet nor am I dead

#Dimpleverse #Fastpoetryhour
...
The Gods are at War
The heavens boiling
Their clash of wills
For all to see
The skies come alive
Sweet dangerous liaisons
Betwixt fire and water
Burning fiery horizons

#DimpleVerse #Fastpoetryhour
...

Castaway upon paradise shores
Palms whispering high overhead
There shall I wait for you upon the beach
The taste of a salty kiss upon my lips

#DimpleVerse #FASTpoetryhour
...

Soul tossed upon these frenzied waves
The storms of life that crash me asunder
Thrown against harsh rocks of adversity
To break apart in pieces never to form again

#DimpleVerse #FASTpoetryhour
...

Under the stars in a velvet sky
I’ll paint our dreams way on high
As comets graze the moon above
I’ll pray for you and our precious love

#DimpleVerse #FASTpoetryhour
...

My heart the plundered treasure
You the bold and dashing pirate
Who stole my love before I knew it
Seduced my soul and destiny with it

#Dimpleverse #FASTpoetryhour
...

Twas written in the sand
For but a moment
Afore it faded
Lost from sight
And over time
When we walked again
The path remained
Always the same
This was no tragedy
No shipwreck of the heart
We’ve never been stronger
And shall never part

#DimpleVerse #FASTpoetryhour
...
Swept away
Before I knew
Just what I had
A precious truth
I took for granted
Would always have
And then it was gone
Drained through my hands
A paradise lost
Now gone forever
Buried in sand
Drowned beneath waves
And so life moves on
Driven by Fate
