Promises you made
Falling like leaves
Scattered dreams
Of all I believed
#SlamWords #29thEdition - round 1
...
Meet me under flowing stars
Bright and ever shining
Where moon dust sprinkles
Come talk to me there of everything
#SlamWords #29thEdition - round 3
...
Wayward days and lost nights
When we had nothing
But held each other tight
When we were young
And knew no better
Before life tore the veils
Those rose coloured veils
From our wonder-filled eyes
And left us gasping
In a world of cruel lies
#SlamWords #29thEdition - round 5
...
Longing for a little warmth
Always just around the bend
Hopeful hearts go wandering
Ever seeking that special someone
That special forever friend
#SlamWords #29thEdition - round 6 & 7
L..
Slender fingers of trailing dawn
The other side of midnight
Comes slowly creeping
To awaken the slumbering land
Upon the breeze harkens
The rousing of the dawn chorus
And the last good thing between us
Fades to soft shadow in memory
#SlamWords #29thEdition - round 9 & 10
...
Chasing sundown upon the wing
The sinking rays of day seeping
From a sky fading from gold to stygian
So quickly creeps the oncoming dark
#SlamWords #29thEdition #encore - round 8
...
Under a cold sky
Gunmetal grey
With searching eyes
I seek the skies
For the wild hunt
Who ride the winds
With banshee cries
Bringing the storm
So swift they fly
#SlamWords #29thEdition #encore - round 4 & 5
...
Through the long nights
One by lonely one
They came to sit
Perhaps to talk
Yet their eyes
Windows of the soul
Were no more
Shuttered they were
Against a world
Grown cruel
Watchful of all
They waited
Staring into the fire
For the battle call
#SlamWords #29thEdition #encore - R 9
...
Such frost coated words
Delivered beneath a gaze
So piercing blue
In cruel judgement
I felt the pain
As if a sword thrust
Mortally deep
Within my breast
This heart
That did once beat
For you
And you alone
Now bleeds
For us
It mourns
#SlamWords #29thEdition #encore - round 2 & 3
...
And so it turns
The wheel of Fate
Upon the spindle
Does she slowly spin
Will you lose?
Or will you win?
A season of change
I hope and pray
For this time
Cannot surely
Come again

The #grate appeared to call to me, the thick obsidian morass behind seemed to shift and seethe before my eyes, pulsing in need it beckoned, hypnotised I leaned in...closer...closer...until it filled my vision, and foul breath caressed my cheek “yes master” I whispered..

Fluorescent wonders
Technicolour explosions
Neon brilliance
#haiku
...
These petals of ink that do spill
In liquid design upon a virgin page
Pouring my passionate heart out
Hear the butterflies roar in every word
The curl & flow of each becomes a
Slow blur of thoughts & desire
The hungry need to leave something
Behind when I am gone

Succulent fruit
Tangled #memories
Taste of strawberries
Intense upon my tongue
Draws me back
A seductive lure
And I’m there with you
Wrapped within your arms
Always safe - always secure

Rebellious South
Cunning carpetbagger ways

Cloaking veil of #haze
Suffocating all sound
Obfuscating movement
We wait & watch
Fists tight upon hilts
The ridge-line shifts
Almost breathes
& so they appear
As if ghosts newly made
& so to the dance
Macabre and cruel
Where reputations shall be won
& men shall be fools

This path that winds
Where feet still #tread
I follow still
Where Fate has led
A little farther
A few steps more
Until I find
What I’m looking for

White picket fences
Marching in line
May appear normal
Calm and serene
But look a little closer
Can you hear the screams
Of thousands of housewives
Tasting blue poppies
Sipping lemonade
While smiling quietly
Stroking a spade
Locked in the suburbs
Dreaming of escape

Confusion and doubt
Crossroad conundrum choices
No easy way out

As the sun rises
East of Eden
Shall the rise
& the fall
In swift succession
Of Angels in flight
Stars in motion
As curious eyes
Heavenward gaze
& seductive serpents
Whisper of desires
Cloaking dangerous curves
West of Heaven
And on until sunset

Cathedral city
Royal guilt and penitence
Blood still stains years on

Breaching my walls
Valour without doubt
He took command
His power shone out
With a voice like honey
Words softly seductive
He wielded his lance
Until I was addicted

Let me show you
My wicked ways
In the quiet hours
When only we are awake
Soft lips trace a path of sin
Upon the nape of your neck
With shadows thrown
In moonlight relief
Bodies reflect urgent need
As we sink into oblivion
This stark craving so deep

I knew the #drill
Who didn’t by now?
Don’t look back
Walk straight out the door
Cutting those ties
Never thought I could
Well, babe, I’m leaving
And this time
It’s for good!

What madness this
That comes to haunt
That hides in shadow
Whispering low taunts
This precarious path
That weaves ahead
We tread with care
A heart full of dread
And the pendulum swings
To and fro
Again and again
While Fates’ mocking laughter
Echo at our mortal pain
