CAMELOT FANTASIES

Upon the world does he hungrily gaze
Cool eyes assessing every place
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Like ants do they scurry in fearful haste
Worlds apart yet bound close together
They’ll feed his hunger & his embrace
From his sentinel seat staring into space

Abominations
Cast in stone
Born in fire
Baptised in blood
Formed from rubble
Civilisations destroyed
They roam the earth
Dust in their wake
Across a ravaged land
Bled dry and crumbling
What more can they take?

Love
Not a hurricane
Swept me away

Twas a vortex spinning
Out of control
Never letting me settle
You’ve made me whole

🎨~ @SquidMitchell

#inkmine

Something lurking
Within shadows deep
Haunting my mind
Denying me sleep

Open doors
Labyrinth layout
What horrors await?
Of that there’s no doubt

Twisting passages
Hidden from sight
Conceal hungry eyes
Craving a bite

Linger no more
Run!
If you can

#BardBits 177
...
When Kings and Queens
Villains and Varlets
Play Games and Thrones
Someone will rise
As another shall fall
Tis a beastly lesson
Bathed in drenching dragon fire
That none shall survive
When Fortune’s Wheel spins
& we’re commanded to heed her dread call

#BardBits 178
...
This aching tension
Stretched to the brink
Upon the rack
Am I drawn
As a fly to honey
To you

Sensations race
Dancing across my flesh
Spiralling desires converge
Sensitive vortex sublime
Flames within coalesce
Consuming me whole
In sweet carnal conflagration
🔥

#CarnalVerse 198
...
Giddy as a unicorn caught in a spiral of glitter
Dizzy with excitement as fizzy as lemonade
Whispers and rumours that you’re coming home
Set my heart pounding and blood racing
As butterflies dance in uninhibited profusion

#BlackDahliaProse
...
In a blaze of glorious light
Flaming across the heavens
A Phoenix took furious flight
Scorching a path amidst the stars
While smouldering fire walkers
In envious jealousy watched
The past reborn before their eyes

Scurrying ants among the ruins
A landscape blown to withering dust
What once we knew now see no more
We didn’t see
                          Didn’t want to know
Now all is clear in the gathering storm
Of the giant watchers we saw long ago

Shadows & ink spill our history upon the virgin page
A tender sorrow greets their historic tidings
Etched in blood or wretched tears
Harshly written on the soul that all may heed
Lest we are drawn deeper into the mire

Let not those wicked perfidious words
Torn from lips once sweetly curved
Poison your heart to the grace of love
Born from one to another in the bloom of youth
...
He breathed my name
                                        And time stood still
Unable to resist the temptation of his flame
I savoured the burn without inhibition
Bathed in his fire & knew my life
Would never be the same

What lies beneath this frozen waste?
That was once a heart filled not with hate
When flowers bloomed and birds did sing
Then came the storm and dread lightning

#VerseAngel
...
At the dying of the day
The withering of the light
When silence falls
A shrouding cloak
Then shall I recount the ways
Before I fall apart and down
Of all you meant in all your moods
To me and everyone you ever knew

...
The city can be a lonely place
Even amidst crowds in a daily rat race
Look into the shadows thrown by lights
White wisps still wander alone at night
Unseen they exist on the edge of life
Forgotten victims of a time full of strife

From shadows we cast do sorrows flow
Pooling in corners where we never go

#BecomingFragile
...
I thought I was
I knew you were
What I believed
You didn’t care
Years did pass
We carried on
But nothing changed
And you passed on

#MelancholyVerse

Saved by dawning comprehension
She lay her burden down among the pebbles
And dreamt of a time when she’d be free
Nevermore to be bound by darkness
From now on she’d let herself just simply be

#QuillVerse
...
More luminous than the silvered moon
Bathed in mysterious night magic
She danced amidst the fairy rings
Grace and elegance in every turn
Embraced by velvet polished darkness
Until her pale ivory cheeks bloomed red

#MadVerse
...

Pure as the rarest virgin snow
Delicately spun from angel kisses
Mother Nature drapes the land
A wintery shroud of pristine grace
Her beauty framed in Venetian lace

#PoemTrail 335
...

Effervescent Joie De Vivre
Sparkling luminescence
Bubbling through her veins
Always in his presence

For him she’d dance
Forget her fears
Live forever within his arms
No more a time for tears

#VerseAngel 242
...

The veils between worlds
Ripped at the seams
Mischief set loose
In horror filled dreams

Bed of jackals
Wolves & snakes
Pit of nightmares
Jackanapes!

Weave your tales
Provoked entanglements
Meet me in thy Stygian hell
For in this lunar cycle
I’ll never tell

Long before this
So many years
When the world was young
And we in youthful vigour
Did bloom in the sun

Now here we stand
Upon the very edge
Unafraid of the future
What lies ahead

Take my hand
Together we’ll go
Following our path
No one need know

#becomingfragile

Was it real or just a dream?
A fantasy drawn from desire?
That things may not be what they seem
And fingers may still be burned by fire
The way things were may be much safer
But to never know what just may be
Would stifle a soul that yearns to see

##SlamWords
...
Rocked gently on a sea of dreams
Swept away on a tide of fantasy
Beneath a sky of trailing stars
The gods did smile at my foolery
Then a strange feeling came
Chilling my blood
A hollow sensation
Leaving me numb
So here I lie
Not yet at peace
Slumbering on
Ill  at ease
#SlamWords
...

Longing for something
I know not what
To fill the void
Within my heart

This empty space
That echoes still
With regrets aplenty
Yet yearns to be filled

#SlamWords
...
They do not know nor understand
What draws us together and keeps us bound
The craving to touch, to savour and feel
In this carnal world that we have found
Where only we two in unity exist
Where we can let go and not resist

Fortune’s Wheel spins wildly on
While Karma smiles and spurs it on
What you did think you’d once escaped
Is coming back around to be your fate
You cannot run nor even hide
I’ll watch you drown in the coming tide

#SlamWords
...

A fleeting glimpse caught on the street
Amidst a sea of seething crowds
Faceless strangers yet one stood out
Was it Fate that brought us to this place
To meet once more in a state of grace

#SlamWords
...
No second chances
No returns
Rules to live by
Yet how the sting burns

Roads not taken
Conversations not had
Always playing it safe
Always looking for the bad

Let the sunshine in
Chase out the rain
Let me fall in love
With you once again

#SlamWords


...
As the sun shall rise with the new dawning day
Fresh and new as a brass ring brightly burnished
I’ll face the future with hope newly sprung
Succinct words on my lips from a song gently sung
