CAMELOT FANTASIES

And a Winter wren whistled
Her notes sweet to my ear
Upon a Winter’s misty morn
As dew drops glistened
Such precious lace
Upon golden thistles
That gleam in place

Castle of shadows
Haunt of my fears
A prisoner shackled
Bathed in tears
I gaze at the stars
Shining so bright
Bringing light to the dark
Every wretched night

Upon the edge
The very cusp
I pause a moment
Take a breath
The future before me
If I am brave
To take that step
For I am no slave
To the corporate bell
The whip cracking hand
That once owned my soul
 From it all I have run
Such a close call

#DimpleVerse
...
Hidden in a smile
Shadows do lurk
Behind glittering eyes
That shield much hurt
Are you my saviour?
Are you the one?
That can set me free?
Lead me into the sun?

Incandescent grace held within a flame
A unique glow in the flickering candlelight
Two souls entwined in everlasting dance
Musically bonded as if rhythmically entranced

Wicked apparition out of the night
My haunted heart cannot bear the sight
Winter’s poltergeist a cruel Yuletide guest
Chilling my blood from head to breast
No flame in the hearth to warm the heart
Unable to fight this wraith from the dark

Mournful winds still haunt these lonely hills
Where feet have walked and hands have tilled
Upon the winds there lingers a late lament
In memory of those who bled for this land

#DimpleVerse
...

Wrapped within misty blankets
Soft fallen snow gathered all around
In the lingering silence of Winter’s kiss
There falls a breathless hush

Paint my world in myriad hues
From red to purple to pink then blue
Colour my dreams in seductive shades
Sweet carnal design of my own making
That dazzle my mind and leave me shaking

...

In the quiet space that lies between
The careering helterskelter I call life
And the soul healing calm to just be
I offer a late lament of all that I missed
In the endless chase for ephemeral dreams

#DimpleVerse
...

Star crossed lovers
Two souls entwined
In some secret fantasy
Lost in time
There shall they dwell
Where none can see
Wrapped in each other
Their own sweet fantasy

The cold creeping feeling of unease bleeding to constricting fear
I know he knows yet I’m a fly trapped within his suffocating web
Those soul less eyes study his prey with malevolent pleasure
This a game he enjoys and takes his full measure

Jack Frost comes too soon
Morning frost his calling card
Trailing glacial fingers
Tipped with icicle claws
Across windows of ice
Before my very eyes
Winter’s dance of indifference
Until Spring thaws out
Our frozen prison

Rise to that difficult challenge
Embrace the unexpected moment
When destiny offers an invitation
Accept your fate with both hands
You are the maestro of your good fortune
And none shall deny your place in the sun
...
Showers arrive in a crystal rain
Sparkling drops of diamond brilliance
This Winter wonderland a glittering jewel
Where holly glazed bushes bedazzle
And Mistletoe miracles sparkle

(🎨Bernie Kasper)

Through the light and the dark
The calm and the storm
Shall we walk on together
Seeing beyond Winter’s horizon
To the birth of Spring
When buds burst into life
And Nature blooms again

Tempting champagne dreams
Nectar of the very Gods
Sparkle and dance within my mind
Not too much to make me drunk
Cascading in bubbling intensity
Just right to ease my state of mind

#ProseWords
...

Tempt me or tease me
You know what I like
Naughty or nice
Whatever you need
In the depths of the night
Every fantasy shall be freed

#SeduceMeSunday #Amwriting
...
Motes of dust
Hang infinitesimal
Echoes of yesterday
Lingering memories
Of the day after
When blood ran hot
Such violent passion
It did consume
Eradicating all
Unto the flames
Unheeding the fall

#BlackDahliaProse
...

Such fevered bliss
This sweet delirium
For your mystic kiss
I would sell my soul
Berries and brandy
Intoxicating mix
A sensual cocktail
Heady with promise
Of all that could be
And all that could not
Addiction is so cruel
And you are the cure
