CAMELOT FANTASIES

A broken beauty but so much more
Lost within a maze not of her making
Mourning who once she was
Haunted by memories so cruel
A devilish entrapment of souls
That no overlord of the heart
No emperor of emotion
Shall free her from this world grown cold

Too late did I realise
The whisper in the dark
When nothing stirs
But a tormented mind
Pouring poison
Honey sweet
Into my ear
To sate a craving
Newly awakened
A dark addiction
Frozen in time
Hidden in shadow
Without reason
Nor rhyme

#sinistersunday
...
O midnight beauty
In blooming profusion
Gracing my world
No cruel illusion
Petal soft shimmer
In moonlight captured
Her rich heady scent
My senses enraptured

From out of the black do they come
Flowing like a poisonous tide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Upon our knees we fall so hard
Eyes cast beseechingly heavenward
Prayers spilling from quivering lips
Save our souls
For they are all we have

#curiouspoetry
...
O crystal ball
I beg of thee
Reveal my path
My true destiny

This web of life
Tangled strands
All interwoven
Threads in my hands

As the music wanes
When the dance is done
We’ll feast on life
Together again
Under a blazing sun

Too many people
                                Too damn bad

And so the Wheel spins
Fortune and fame
Cast blindly upon
Cruel Fate’s whim
New days are coming
Whispers on the wind
Rumours abound
For those who listen
So heed the signs
Watch out for warnings
For you never know
They may save your life

...

& so the moon wanes
Sinking ever lower
Fading from sight
I whisper goodbye
My dreams put away
For tomorrow has come
& this is the day
I am not ready
Nor ever shall be
To meet my Fate
My mortal destiny
I’ll think on him
What might’ve been
If he had stayed
By my side

#prosewords
...
Walking barefoot in the whisper of a dream
Following a path unwinding before me
Through meadows pure and rich with scent
Where butterflies dance amidst paradise content
Worries and concerns left trailing behind
I leave them there for a world more kind
