CAMELOT FANTASIES

Take me to church
Before it’s too late
Bathe me in holy water
Shield me from my Fate
I’m not a bad person
Just took the wrong road
Lead me back to the path
Let me lighten the load
Of guilt that I carry
For all that I’ve done
Pray for my salvation
To walk in the sun

Sliced and diced by your very hand
Such exquisite precision I had to admire
As I lay on the beach bleeding out on the sand
Thinking of your betrayal as slowly I died
Your face the last thing I would ever see
Moonlight refecting in the blade above me

The #violence within the depths of his eyes promised retribution of the deadliest kind should I make the mortal mistake of stepping too close to those bars.

The fear in my eyes
That you’ll walk away
The hope that fades
The dying of the light
Things I can’t hide
In the cold light of day
Safe by your side
Where I so long to be
Is a dream I hold dear
Or must I bid farewell
So long to freedom
And lay down to die

In those eyes once full of hope
Dark shadows of guilt now linger
Memories of faces now long gone
A #veteran proud but the scars are within
Concealed from all but deep to the bone
The pain still burns strong as acid

From the mysterious East shall they come
Those night swarming brethren of lore
Darkening the skies to midnight black
Consuming the sleeping land to the core
A barren wilderness all that is left
In their path of destruction on to the West

As lanterns play their soft light upon the bay
Soft waves lap tenderly against the boat
The glow of the sky set deliciously aflame
In a sunset so spectacular it does rival firelight

...

Chasing elusive dreams through the twists & turns of imagination
Cast out of time chasing white rabbits and chaotic dreams
A strange feeling of spiralling madness leading to wild insanity

Colours bursting with #vivid intensity
Shade my life in bejewelled hues
Rainbow brilliance and radiant saturation
Illuminate the dark corners and chase them away

Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Only the once but oh sweet Lord what a sight!
We painted the town in #vivid shades of red
Gliding in demonic syncopation with the living dead

A follower of laughter forever shall I be
Wherever there is mirth shall my soul find tranquility

When days are dark and storms are near
When all about you flinch in fear
Wear hope and faith upon your chest
Like a cashmere scarf of softest yarn
To keep you warm and safe from harm

Hark! the crow
He comes for you
Upon the seas
With the flow
Fearless warriors
Who know no fear
In search of land
We shed no tears
For those who fall
Beneath our sword
The Gods have spoken
From Valhalla’s Hall
#Vikings we are
Unto the end
None are better
Our name we defend
#vss365
...

You were the lure
The undeniable temptation
I was the prey
The unsuspecting pawn

#inkmine
...

Moments of happiness
Precious fragments
Stolen in the dark
Treasured in the day

Passing strangers
No one can know
What we do
Where we go

#BecomingFragile
...

Surrendering without a fight
The #vortex sucked me in
Swamped by the rapture
Cascading pleasure
I whispered goodbye
And sank ever deeper

#vss365
...

A smile is not a smile
When attached to a crocodile
Beware the hidden bite
The tear and rend
For you are too trusting
My far too innocent friend

#curiouspoetry
...

The tender brush of your thumb upon my neck as warm fingers wrap slowly in tender persuasion, my carnal destiny sealed with a soft moan of sweet surrender this #SensualSaturday to your masterful direction...

#NRRTG
...

Creeping horror to chill the blood
This petrifying suffocating silence
Swallowing the fear that chokes
Denying my throat the scream
Blacker than Hell the shadows come
Those vengeful demons that steal my tongue

#horrorprompt 270
...

Brooding trees in melancholy silence
Stand sentinel to my thoughtful introspection
Of those lifeless limbs now hanging limp
That once supported my youthful frame
Now twisted & gnarled with age
No more to lead me far astray
Amidst their cradling evergreen cage

#BardBits 230
...

Beware the #vixen beneath the fox
What lies on the surface only conceals
The bite behind that shall not heal
Shallow you were in thought and deed
You’ll pay the price as I watch you bleed
No, no - don’t run - you cannot hide
This night you’re mine so swallow your pride

#vss365
...
I call you #villain to your damned face
Lacking conscience, you are a disgrace
Torturing the innocent with your threats
Of all that shall become of them
Should ever they fail to pay their debts

 #vss365
...

When angels scream the heavens do weep
Cascading tears to drench the sorrowful soul
Not all monsters are to the bone scarred deep
Do you believe what you see or what you feel?
What you can imagine or what you know is real?

Paris in Springtime
The bloom of love
In golden light
A garland of flowers
Scented bouquets
Encircles the tower
Everywhere I look
Colours in flourish
Scents fill the air
A time to cherish

#Quillverse 121
...
Measured by the passing hours
Smiles are few and far between
Between one phone call and the next
Still in my heart though sight unseen

#VerseAngel 255

Take that chance
Leap into the #void
Hope for a miracle
It’s your life
And as you tumble
Spiral free fall
Always remember
You gave it your all

Polished #veneer and practised manners
Conceal the cruel wildness withinMan
Society demands what our nature cannot
Barely lurking beneath such a thin disguise

 #VSS365
...

Shadows and memories
All there is left of you
Whispers on the wind
A lingering scent
Of a time long ago
A lock of hair treasured
Once brunette now grey
Curling within my tender palm
Your hand once in mine
A touch lovingly sublime

#Quillverse 122
...

Return of the light to where shadows do dwell
In redemption we find ourselves once again
To forgive is a struggle that only time will tell
And peace is a gift that our hearts will attain

#zenverse
...

Upon a pyre of shame and sin
We became a holy conflagration
Cleansed by flame burning bright
This mane of fire a beacon of light
Shadows chased and burned to Hell
From sanctuary where the pure do dwell

#venom laced words
Bitter and cold
Spilled from her lips
A prophesy foretold

Poisons and potions
Death in the night
Creeping delusions
A demonic fright

Prayers and faith
Try what you can
This is beyond you
The end of Man

“Ladies first” he indicated with a serrated bloody smile.

I gazed down at the bubbling fountain of crimson gore, swiftly becoming a lake about the dying man’s head.

“And I only went #vegan last week” wistfully toeing the John Doe to his back. “He’s all yours, Vlad”

#vss365
...

Along obscure paths
Forgotten and lost
I’m led far astray
Not counting the cost

In pursuit of a dream
Fantasy made real
Crow follows in my wake
My destiny surreal

Crow doesn’t judge
He is but my witness
Sitting on the fence
Spying on my business

Betwixt our worlds
Mysterious #veil
Soft mist of time
We feel the other
Yet cannot touch
Sense the need
Denied so much
Breathless whisper
A gentle breeze
Brushes my soul
Gives me ease
