CAMELOT FANTASIES

Your memory burnished
Forevermore
In the maelstrom of crowns
Stormladen clouds hang
But we will remember
Those golden days
When you fought as a lion
Leading forth the brave

The great illusion
Poisonous #chimera
The promises made
We did believe
Like lemmings
We flowed
Like water
Over the cliff
Smashed
Upon rocks
Of disillusion
Hope lost
Forever

Gentle balm upon my cheeks
Healing tears so sweetly flow
Each day he lives a blessing more
Hope ever more becoming fragile
In Autumn’s delicate turn to Winter
A seeping chill of loneliness crawls
Consuming the heat of love’s faded passing

#DimpleVerse

Too late to realise the truth, that the drifting #flotsam on the evening tide all that was left after life’s storms had passed, now broken and shattered but still on a journey, yes still on their way...

#vss365

Deep in a forest where willows weep
Kiss me there while angels sleep
Amidst the silent creeping ferns
Hold me tight while passion burns
Where shadows bloom their darkest
The raw & the real become obsessed

Sweet #sillage of my love’s long passing
Lingers still within our secret bower
Where Cupid’s Arrows in wild profusion
Pierced our flesh in passionate illusion

 #vss365
...
A lonely lamp
A Martini glass
Lipstick stained
Abandoned now
Nostalgic rhythm
Vague shadows sway
This smoky dark club
Are reasons needed?
For what took place?
With none to see
And none to hear
For friends read lovers
Passionate poetry
In seductive motion

Broken teeth and shattered bottles
Just another Friday night in a dead-end town
Where no one knows and even less cares
Just more lost souls heading underground
Where dead men dance to the Devil’s tune
Bathed in blood beneath a blackened moon

On ashen wings I’ll rise again
From the dust your booted heel
Mercilessly ground down
Resurrected within to fly again
Shackles of guilt falling away
To be so free but I’ll burn anyway
In freedom uplifted only to fall
The taste so sweet upon my tongue

#myriad emotions churn desperately seeking resolution
Pulse racing excitement builds to over whelming passion
Devouring all consuming needs result in carnal consummation

Follow me down to the riverside
Where the soft #susurrus
Sweet babbling waters
Soothe heated spirits
And calm the soul

Did I save u?
Or did you save me?
By your side
Through it all
Facing the enemy
Over The Wall
Then victory came
Tore us apart
Or was I abandoned
Did you have no heart?
Winterfell is yr home
One I’ll defend
As I watch for U
Coming home
Soon I hope
To yr faithful friend

I feel you there
In the shadows
Always watching
Always close

That delicious #frisson
Sweet anticipation
Stroking my senses
Sublime seduction

#vss365
...
Ethereal #gossamer wings
Delicate as morning mist
Unfurl gently in the air
As tenderly as an Angel’s kiss

Beneath the Frangipani Tree
Shall I sit and think of you
Delicious scents upon the air
Infuse my soul as if the dew

A song of paradise
Sweet and pure
Comes to my ears
An avian siren’s lure

What once was
Could be again
1 door closes
Another 1 opens
Amid the ruins
Tender shoots do bud
Raise yr head
Open yr eyes
Dreaming awake
It may come true
Life is so short
Do not despair
What was a sweet sorrow
Is a beauty so rare

What #vile apparition comes to me?
Haunting sighs poured in my ears
Without form or touch it lingers near
Scythe in hand
                             Death has come
Too soon for me but too late for some

He didn’t see it coming
Was looking the other way
Betrayed and destroyed
A stiletto in the back
Surrounded by sycophants
Didn’t see the Joker in the pack

Thoughts
Like birds
Take flight
Inspiration
The wind
Lifting them high
To fly so free
In a dreamy sky

#DimpleVerse

Through sylvan #verdant beauty we run
Beneath blue skies and a very bright sun
Mother Nature nourishing tired souls
Breathing renewed life into spirits grown old

 #vss365
...
No #breath of wind to caress our sails, hanging limp from a skeletal mast.  Forlorn and becalmed upon still waters, have the Gods abandoned us or is this their test of our resolve...?

#vss365
...
Prowling the night
Walking the streets
Whispered whimpers
In shadowed doorways
Betray assignations
Sultry seductions
Neon lights pulsate
To melodic moans
Behind closed curtains
Where none can see
As the night trains roll
With gregarious growls
Far beneath, far below

#RavensVeil
...
These steps I tread
With fear and dread
Of what I know not
Just haunted thoughts
Of those before me
In many a guise
Who’ve walked this path
Haunted by despairing cries

#silence
A shroud
Blanketing
Suffocating
I wait
Heart pounding
For the tread
The heavy hand
Coming out of the blue
