CAMELOT FANTASIES

Hard to believe as I sit here now
With the years of my life weighing me down
That there was a time when everything was new
Now it just seems we go round and round

#SlamWords #1
...

Those tell tale signs I know so well
Demons on my tail all the way to Hell
Keeping secrets that I want to spill
Knowing I can’t or it’s me they’ll kill

#SlamWords #2
...
Have you ever wondered
In the darkness of night
Why it’s you they followed
Was it blood lust at first sight?

#SlamWords #3
...
Between the thunder and the lightning
Between the growl and the bark
Did the thought never occur to you
Don’t go walking in the forest
Especially after dark

#SlamWords #4
...
Messy stacks of paperwork are all they can see
As they write down your details on Form XYZ
Once a person fully fleshed with blood
Now just a body laid out in the morgue

#SlamWords #5
...
“ Don’t cry for me”
I want to say
But I cannot
So here I lay
Heabreak to healing
If they’re ready
But they’ll recover
It’s me who they’ll bury

#SlamWords #6
...

And there they go
With their flawed logic
And blind emotions
Spiralling into oblivion
In ever decreasing circles
They’ll soon meet themselves
Coming all the way back
Before blindly chasing their tales
On a never ending track

#SlamWords #7
...
Where do you go to escape
When the inner demons come
Pointing out your flaws
The things you’ve never done

#SlamWords #8
...
“Be gone” you scream in silence
By now falling upon your knees
Tearing out your hair in clumps
Praying to be left alone
Just wanting only to be

These 3 a.m. confessions
As the world slumbers on
Yet here I am awake
Whispering to the moon
So many secrets
Serene and silver
She always listens
It’s very true
She’s seen it all
Then slips away
At first light
And a bird’s call

#SlamWords #10
...
What once was thought impossible
What once we never dreamed
Upon a midsummer night’s fantasy
Became a sweet reality for me indeed

#SlamWords #1
...
And with a single smile
As twisted and cruel as his mind
He tossed down the verbal gauntlet
“A blank slate means there is no proof
There never was nor any witness
What’s done is done and that’s the truth”

#SlamWords #2
...
Beneath a diamond studded velvet sky
Lit by the fire of flaring comets on high
Wishing on a shooting star for who knows what
I’ll never tell but, let’s face it, you know me well

#SlamWords  #3
...
Trapped in Hell
Or is it Heaven
Or God forbid
Somewhere between
Held in thrall
To the silent pull
Of your magnetism
Feeling a fool
Did I never learn
Did I not think
How far I’d fall
How low I’d sink
In this game U play
That sucked me in
So gullible
Yet inevitable

#SlamWords #4
....
I walked to that cliff
Danced along the edge
Taunting Fate with a smile
Destiny with a wave
You can’t save me
From this path I choose
The winner may take it all
But not when you’re the loser

#SlamWords #5
...

Tossed like a cork
Emotions seethe
Trapped in a #maelstrom
Sprung in wild degrees
In every which way
The tumble and roll
This thing called love
That holds my soul

#vss365
...
As stars diminish their shine
And slowly fade from view
When the world goes dark
And voices fall silent, too
Then shall we weep as one
For what we held in our hand
Mindless of it’s tender care
Dust to dust, sand to sand

#SlamWords #6
...

Bought and sold was his demonic plan
To send us forth and fight for his land
But the circle turned and we were undone
Betrayed in the dark - taken one by one
Under siege by the force of his own hand
Brought to our end by the greed of a man

#SlamWords #7
...

Peace be upon you
Within this place
Where none can harm you
You’re in Gods grace
Sanctuary, my son
Lay down your sword
For here you are safe
Within hallowed walls

#SlamWords #8
...
Life is a mysterious journey
Unwinding in twisting paths
The future isn’t written
It can be changed
You make the choices
No one but you
You are responsible
It’s your own destiny
So step up to the plate
The only question left is
Will you or won’t you?

#SlamWords #9
...
As I tumbled off the cliff
Gravity not my friend
Rolling head over heels
End over end
Falling ever faster
Your words come back to me
In the end all that matters is
That I loved you
And you loved me

Whiskey sours and rhinestone #reminisces
In some southern backwoods honky tonk bar
Let’s raise a glass to the best of us all
To the good times we remember and forget the bad
To the best damn days, my friends, that we ever had

Her name was Rose, I do recall
But folks just called her #waif
Those that saw her anyways
Then one day she just disappeared
One day here the next just gone
Guess folks just stopped noticin’
An’ she faded into nothin’

 #vss365
....
A free spirit soaring
She rode the storm
As the heavens clashed
And the Gods did roar
The Valkyries flew
Brandishing swords
Screaming their fury
To the night lit sky
Chasing their destiny
& the prey that would die

#ephemeral thoughts
Fleeting moments
Snatched on a breeze
Whimsically transient
Then gone in an instant
Before the idea could form
The very notion take flight

#vss365
...
Love is an endless ocean
Unchartered and mysterious
Where the adventurous of heart
Fearless and brave to the core
Slip the heavy anchor of life
Set course for the unknown
With hopes and dreams alive

Power radiates in ever-fevered circles
Addictive aphrodisiac deepens my desire
Gripping sensations tighten by degrees
Til I’m wracked upon this carnal bed
Incoherent mumbles spilling from my lips

#CarnalVerse 220
...
In ever decreasing circles
Thoughts and worries spin
Colliding & breaking apart
My restless spirit torn in two
As hopeful pools of light fade
To the surreal glow of karma
& lips silently pray for a change
Of fate, destiny and fortune

At the #zenith of flight, the raptor rocketed in a steep dive towards ground, the scream of her unseen prey shattering the silence of dawn, then was cut off...forever.  And in that moment all became clear, if I didn’t find sanctuary soon, I too would be silenced forever.

As storm clouds gathered, black as doom, and birds on the wing sought swift shelter, a dazzling rainbow magically appeared to chase the blues away in a #surreal moment of meteorological wonder.

Gentle bloom in the first budding flush
To greet the warmth of Sun’s soothing touch
Beauteous grace with a dazzling floral flourish
Nature’s tapestry designed in bejewelled flowers
Scented garlands to decorate this homely Earth

Sweet succulent desire lingers like perfume
Heady carnal infusion of sensual temptation
Lust a flaming brand that burns to the core
Igniting this rapturous addictive conflagration

On rainy nights when storms do linger
Lonely souls on deserted streets wander
A streetlight melancholy throws lazy shadows
While high above curious eyes do observe
From a room with a view of this planet Earth

Down lonely darkened streets
Without purpose do I wander
A lingering eerie stillness in my soul
The city at night does not rest
It breathes, it watches, it waits
For the desolate of mind
The wistful of spirit afraid to dream
To stumble within its embrace

Entombed within the chilling #aphotic embrace of Neptune’s aquatic realm, I surrendered my soul to the whims of mercurial Gods of Fate and whispered a last goodbye to the world of light...

Blackbird, blackbird
Sitting in the tree
I thought you were one
Now you are three
Obscuring mist
Sealing from view
This dream-like vision
A warning for sure
Piercing the illusion
An obscure veil
I wait in the shadows
My cruel betrayal

This languorous mood
These halcyon days
That leave me #supine
Counting the ways
Our lives entwine
As threads interwoven
In this tapestry of life
Where love need not be proven

He promised me #gargantuan
All I could see was a minnow
I fell so fast he must’ve laughed
Lies, all lies, such a rotten fellow
