CAMELOT FANTASIES

Lipstick smudges on pristine white collars
Accusations let fly with lethal precision
Drink from the well of carnal oblivion
And never regret the depth of obsession

April was one 🔥 lady
Branding all with her heat
With burning rays
She left her mark
Now tears of rain
That gently fall
In sorrow trail
As she she slowly leaves

#iamwriting

...
Give me wide open skies
In which to spread my wings
To leave the world far behind
And see what the future brings

An empty road and a full tank of gas
Are all I need to escape the past
So set me free and let me fly
For if I stay here I’ll surely die

Anywhere and everywhere
Your spirit and your soul
You’re never very far from me
You’re a shelter from the cold

In every rain drop on my cheek
The rays of a warming sun
The tender caress of a gentle breeze
I feel you in every one

“come a little closer” said the spider to the fly
“I only wish to admire your wings, I swear I do not lie”
And so beguiling were his words
So full of liquid honey
That soon the fly was tightly bound
And his end was not so funny...

Each day upon this road of life
I go a little farther
Each twist and turn, each rise and fall
is a lesson to be learned
I take my time, enjoy the ride
for it cannot be repeated
Upon life’s path the end is known
but the route we take is our own

#SlamWords #35thEdition - R4
...

Rise a little higher than those that are around you
Fall a little harder when the ground gives way beneath

#SlamWords #35thEdition - R5
...

The gentle swing and sway
The teasing to and fro
Of a gentle summer breeze
Playful upon dancing hedgerows

Lost in the feel of rapturous applause
she didn’t see it coming
nor comprehend the cause
Oh how the audience loved her
and clapped in wild abandon
yet on the morrow the critics
savaged every heart felt emotion

“How far can we go?”

“All the way, doll, all the way”

“But that’s too far, I am not ready”

“Then buckle up, baby, and hold the bars steady”

L..

To race the warming rays of dawn
To break the edges of the night
And greet the coming morn
How we did laze and while away the hours
Dreaming of a future then
That would be one day ours

His palm a warm weight upon sleepy flesh, his fingers grazing a knowing path of seduction. My early morning solitude a myth as I blink ebony lashes to greet his wicked slumbrous gaze. Waking up never felt so good...

The lingering scent of what once was still hangs upon the air. No matter how many times I change the bed and wash the linen, you’re still with me.  Haunting my mind and consuming my senses as if you were still here.

But you’re not...

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R2
...

Supple shadows that shift and weave
from the corner of my eye

Yet still and stand when I turn around
with an echoing mournful cry

Are they memories of who we were?
Of souls long lost just wandering by?

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R4
...

Cherry blossom and apple trees
The scents of summer caught on a breeze
Wildflower perfumes that hang in the air
All whisper memories of a time you were there

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R5
...

An ugly squall lashed the panes, a violent echo of the churning emotions roiling within the room.  Pitiless eyes that seethed with unspoken rage stared, memories of holding hands now a cruel mockery, when all he could see was her wedding band
#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R6
...

How bitter the sting of perception as reality delivers a brutal blow
How blind the eyes that refused to see yet cannot look away
In the eyes of a child the truth laid cruelly bare
He is your blood - tis a fact you cannot deny

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R7
...

Crown her regal brow in Nature’s glory
Bathe her ivory form in sun warmed gold
Drifts of apple blossom shall trail each step
For the Queen of May your heart shall hold

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R8
...

Lost in the moment
Deaf to the world
All I hear
All I could ever wish
Are the timeless sighs
Of a timeless desire
When you were mine
And I was yours
When all was golden
Such a magical time

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R9
...

So raise a glass
And one or two more
To one last time before we part
And toast the memories
Of the ones we have loved
And to the future
And the ones we shall know
The future a mystery
A timeless river in flow

#SlamWords #35thEdition #encore - R10 (final)
...

Lingering looks from slumbrous eyes
Sensual messages left unsaid
All lure me towards you
And to the inevitable bed

🔥🔥🔥

The last twist of the knife cuts deep
Piercing the blind vessel of a breaking heart
Cruel passions from wild desires emerge
Breaking boundaries that leave us bleeding
Amongst the strewn detritus of a dying affair

He took my heart
Stole it clean away
Swore he’d never hurt me
Swore it clear as day

So here I am now
Standing in the rain
Staring at the ground
Relishing his pain

Should I show remorse?
A hint of regret
For what we once were
Now that he lies dead...

How sparkling the ring
In the morning sun
How dazzling the smile
The wedding just begun
How fulsome the praise
Delivered by the groom
The way things turned out
All done much too soon
How calm was the bride
In all her finery
Chaos all about her
A lace wrapped effigy

What brand new dreams come to haunt
To stalk my conscience in the secret dark
When all is quiet and the ghosts of my past
Unquiet in their deathly beds of soil
Arise to walk this land once more

#moonmystic
...

Knowing my own unspoken, deepest desire
He lit the spark that ignited the fire

A carnal inferno he did so combust
In night of passionate, erotic fuelled lust

We are but pawns
Mere chess pieces
Moved this way and that
Upon an unfair board

At the blind mercy
The cruel rapacious whim
Of capricious gods
Their smiles so crooked

#DimpleVerse

..,

How warm the sun upon my skin
Apollo’s kiss to my sweet surrender
Among sweet meadows shall I await
The coming of my celestial lover

#moonmystic
...

Momma done warned me about guys like U
Spinning those lines the dames all adore
I told myself I wasn’t like them
Told myself I’d not be yr fool
Yet here I am again, still watching the clock
Listening for yr footsteps, yr key in the door
Your whisky soaked shamble across the floor
...

Does the city own you or do you own her, Joe? 

I hear you walking in the dead of night
     along rain wet cobbles that glisten in the light

Wearing dead man’s shoes that leave no prints
     you’re a shadow from a nightmare with a blade that glints

What bruised heart
That braved the cold
That faced the world
That cried out loud
So cruelly torn
Yet still beating
Pulsing with determined life
To keep on going
Whatever comes
Fate still playing
A crooked game
Cards placed down
One by one
And destiny waits...

A tattooed symphony wrought in bewitching fashion
Indelible phrases that mystify yet amaze the eye
How heavenly the calligraphy that speaks to the soul
Yet renders the reader blind in its beautiful sight
Unknowing the precious treasure bestowed
