CAMELOT FANTASIES

Cruel rumours - sly looks
Too many to bear
Too harsh to ignore
Such vulnerable exposure
Shook the foundations
When the walls crack
Our confidence falters
Stumbles & falls
With uncertain breaths
We seek the courage
Reaching out
For that helping hand

Soft footsteps lightly tread
In my dreams does she sweetly come
To soothe my soul and calm my spirit
One last chance before the end
To hear her gentle laughter
The lightest brush of her touch
Afore she offers her hand
And leads me to my resting place

Behind closed doors
Sealed in the dark
Secrets do stir
Writhe and cavort

We pretend they’re not there
That we’ve nothing to hide
Yet those doors remain sealed
The darkness locked inside

Candle on the sill
Return to me in my dreams
Memories we made

#haiku
...

A candle I’ll light
To safely guide you homeward
Flickering beacon

#haiku
...

Spinning in circles
Neverending spirals

Everywhere I look
Searching for you

Sliding sideways
Slipping from view

The loopholes of time
That conceal me from you

As the universe spins
How the Gods do smile

In cruel contemplation
Of our tumbling separation

#dimpleverse
...

A warrior soul wrapped in silk and lace
Her hidden strength a will of steel
Tempered in battle against the odds
She’d slay her foes and never kneel

Featherlight strokes
Barely there
Unfold illicit memories
Of a time you were here

Dewy valleys
Lush fields of Eden
Where we took our pleasures
Drowned in sensual dreams

Liquid submission
Coiling anticipation
Coalescent flame🔥

Your words touched my soul
Wrapped themselves so tight
Sunk deep into my heart
Made me once again whole

Forget me never
In the stars it is written
Two now become one

Fragile hopes built upon illusory dreams
I listened to my heart but didn’t truly hear
Blinded to your beauty every time you were near
In the end, promises are just words
Lost upon the breeze as soon as they’re spoken

A spaceman came travelling
From so far away
Found what he wanted
A game of pool to play

Who knew there were bars
So far out in space
Major Tom’s been holding out
Such disgrace

So rack ‘em up fast
Line up the beers
He’s here to stay
High 5 & 3 cheers

In raven black raiment does she walk
A banished spectre now who once was free
Her disfigured heart shaded by Devils
Shadowing her footstep in demonic tread
Upon a crimson bridge of never ending sorrow
Her time of mourning shrouds her mind

Lilliputian soul
Breaking down barriers fast
Rise above it all

They did not come 2 talk with us
Nor learn our different ways
Instead they came to ravage our land
To violently end our days

A cold hearted swarm from some deep Hell
2 drown our world in shades of black
Nowhere was safe from the poison spread
A matter of time ‘til we’re all dead
...

‘Tis all I have, this small #patch of land *frail almost fragile shoulders shrug, her quiet gaze tracing the patched ground almost lovingly* not much, I know but it’s still mine *her smile lighting her face as she lifted her eyes to the dawning horizon* it’s still mine

In a land of mist and fairytales
Oh such a very long long time ago
Mythical creatures did dwell in this place
Where only standing stones and tumbled ruins
Now gather moss in this mysterious space

From high atop the windswept cliffs, lookouts keep a sharp watch, alert eyes forever scanning the wild restless ocean as she boils, dashing her rage upon the rocks while the kelpies froth and the selkies sinuously slip betwixt mesmerising mermaids

#SlamWords #33rdEdition - R3 /4


If these ancient oak groves
Bastions of the forest heart
That beats yet with sacred feeling
Could only speak
What lost wisdom they could bestow
Upon a world become deaf and blind
To forgotten magic that yet still lingers
Awaiting the awakening

#SlamWords #33rdEdition - R6/7


In the hollow hills
Where blood was spilled
Under an amber moon
So very long ago
Forgotten now by most
The road to yesterday
Still seems so clear
The ghosts not laid to rest
A glimpse of the future
If the past isn’t heeded
Is a tragic legacy at best
#SlamWords #33rdEdition -R9/10

Oh how refreshing is a dew drenched morning
The land freshly washed and sparkling in the sun

#SlamWords #33rdEdition - ER1


Ripples of light danced upon the quiet water, playful as a child yet far beneath, lurking in the depths sinuous shapes flow in dappled profusion, here and there the sun & shadows catching them in their passing guile....

#SlamWords #33rdEdition #encore - R2

Ah the wild exhilaration of speed
To race the wind and chase the horizon
With heart-pounding excitement
Senses truly bursting with life
We laughed defiance to the Gods
And let the Sea Witch fly upon the waves

#SlamWords #33rdEdition #encore - R3


Amidst silken ribbons ablaze with colour
Around the Maypole shall we dance
While on her honey suckle enshrouded  throne
The May Queen in her daisy crown
Does sweetly smile, her hyacinth sceptre
Laid upon her lap, so regally she rules the town
#SlamWords #33rdEdition #encore - R4

Follow me, follow me
Down secret paths
Through meadows wild
And forests deep
Where shadows grow
Lost in the woods
And light shall not pierce
This sylvan wonderland
Where souls seek peace

30 pieces of scattered silver
Left untouched upon a lonely hill
Beneath a soul forever tarnished
His name to this day reviled still

And the Angel at my side whispered “the bones of the past cannot hurt you, do not be afraid” and with newfound courage I stood straighter, the harsh sound of earth falling upon my tormentor’s casket sweet music to my ears and I smiled....

Timeworn eyes in hopeless despair search the ravaged battlefield for the husband she waved off a week or so ago while clouds like ragged banners stream in a mackerel sky.  Tho’ the jackals are coming she’ll not rest ‘til she finds him...
