A storm is building
Whipping passionate senses
Satisfying burn 🔥

He wrote me a #letter
But where did it go?
Each day here I wait
With nothing to show
He wrote me a #letter
He promised he had
But each day that passes
I become ever more sad
He wrote me a #letter
It arrived finally
Here I sit reading
Of a love just for me
#poetry
...
Gentle flakes are falling
Blanketing the ground
Grace and serenity
A silence so profound
Be the beacon shining
A shimmering crystal light
Chasing shadows and the dark
From the long Winter’s night

Like the sweetest of #puddings
He lapped at my rich cream
His tongue a wicked torment
‘Twas a delight of a dream
#vss365
...
‘Twas just before midnight
Such a long time ago
That an angel came calling
I saw her prints in the snow
With #grace and serenity
She did lay herself down
To pause for a moment
Her wings spread upon the ground

With #feline grace he prowled closer, scenting my fascination with a purr
#storyin12
...
Poetic confessions he spilled to me
One Winter’s night with the world asleep
“Trust in me” his eyes did plead
From a haunted gaze as his voice beseeched
In silence I sat and let him speak
Neither judge nor jury to his outpouring release
#dimpleverse

#coral confusion
Pastels in calm profusion
Soothe my raging world
#vss365
...
A lingering calm
Peace heard in slumbering waves
Silent watchers wait
#haiku
...
How sweetly shine those baubles bright
In the twinkling of soft candlelight
While #festive voices so near and dear
Do merrily welcome in the New Year

And the whirligig continued
Spinning out of control
As masked clowns grinned
Malevolent in their glee
The day the #circus came to town
The day the #circus came for me!
#vss365
...
A lazy meandering touch
Brushing sensitised flesh
Trace #explosions of heat
In a lingering smoulder and burn
That stokes the salacious fire
In our addictive conflagration
#SeduceMeSunday
...
That dark slow drawl
Smoother than molasses
Makes me shiver
Whimper and shake
He knows the words
And how to growl them
He understands
Just when to give
And when to take...
#poetry #iamwriting
...
“Encore” the shouts ring
Echoing from left to right
Diva sensation
#vss365 #haiku
...
By #candlelight
Incandescent illumination
Seduction in every word
He drew me ever closer in
Weaving a mesmerising spell
Magic and mystery
Within him do dwell
#366FF
...
Free the spirit
Step into the now
Unchain the soul
Escape the crowd
Sweet taste of champagne
Sparkling upon my tongue
As the bubbles do burst
One by effervescing one
Surrender to life
Love & desire
Within your arms
I shall take fire

Bouquets of wild flowers
Scented and sweet
Did he always give me
Whenever we did meet
Once bitten, twice shy
Was how I did feel
Too many times hurt
Yet this was so real
And so here we are
My hero beside me
A new chapter starting
Setting both of us free

Roll the dice?
Flip a coin?
What did it matter?
The result is the same
Fat Sam had the hand
My time had run out
It was time to face facts
Of that there was no doubt
So dig a hole, boys
And dig it deep
In it they’ll put me
In it I’ll sleep

Can you hear the echoes of voices long past?
As we stand at the crossroads pondering our path
Behind us are bridges long burned and all gone
In front are the choices we face on our own
A lonely place when all’s said and done
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R2
“There are always consequences” he growled, grinding his heel deep into my hand as I lay stunned on the ground
“You dipped your wick in the wrong ink well” such a cruel smile and I knew then I should’ve killed him off in chapter one
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R3
The silence was deafening but so I’d been warned
When the cacophony ends then so should you beware
Still waters run deep we are so often told
‘Tis the quiet ones who often become the very bold
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R4
Stumbling, tripping, flailing he fell, moving forward if downward with an alacrity unexpected in a man of his size
Stepping backward just in time, he watched him tumble on by with a look of horrified bemusement
Those rugby balls could seriously fly
#SlamWords #31Ed #encore R5
Tha laughter echoed, spontaneous and wild, reflecting a spirit set at last free. She took one last look, a smile upon her lips, as she tossed a handful of dirt into the grave whispering “good riddance to bad rubbish” before turning to leave
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R6
“honour amongst thieves, mate” he shrugged with a smirk “honesty really ain’t the best policy, though” those weasel sharp eyes watching my every move “now why’d you go to the cops?” circling me like a ravenous shark scenting my blood
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R7
Burning bridges with every word
I turned my back and walked away
Not thinking that I’d ever return
Too young to know what I’d blithely burned
So here I stand mending those fences
Asking for their forgiveness
Brought harshly to my senses
#SlamWords #31stEdition #encore - R8
Sometimes it’s all a state of mind
Rolling with the hand Fate deals
Rising to the challenge
Or sinking to the depths
How we approach things
Or turn away in denial
Makes us who we are
Makes everything real

“you know, sometimes distance doesn’t matter” the hologram stated, those eyes I remembered gleaming oddly “near or far, I’ll forever be with you but not in a weird way” his husky voice, so beloved, swiftly clarified with a chuckle
