CAMELOT FANTASIES

How could we survive the conflagration?
The burning flame of lustful combustion
Then gone before the awakening dawn
I swear the sheets were #smoking still
Your scent seductively stealing my will

#SensualScribbles
...
A feedback addict locked in a world
Of digitalised dreams flickering
Endlessly looping without cessation
The images stream in chaotic cascade
Plugged in to a net that feeds the hunger
A slave to the network consuming his soul

Write our names in glittering stardust
Across the midnight sky
Wrap me tight in silvered dreams
This love I have cannot be denied

The voice held a special kind of magic
Weaving sweet tendrils of subtle seduction
My eyes filled with stars of dreamy imagination
As I fell under the spell without realisation
Holding the night within my mind’s eye
I succumbed to the masterful persuasion

not much #solace given in that obsidian gaze that slid with cruel contemplation towards me...

I swallowed, hard, as the fear gripped me tight and I crumpled without thinking to my knees...

“daddy?” I whispered, knowing deep inside he’d long left this world...

#vss365
...

Within his slumberous gaze
Dark with carnal intent
I saw the promise of #ecstasy

And I burned in anticipation
Of his dominant touch
His rampant seduction

The need, the ache
I hungered for more
That only he could assuage

#pour out your heart to the silent universe
Let the stars share your unquiet burden
In the darkest depths you’ll still see a light
A shining beacon to enlighten your heart
And know you’re never alone when all seems night

Does a #smitten wolf howl to the cresting silver moon?

#hangtenstories 1436
...

Hollow footsteps upon unquiet ground
Trace beguiling paths with barely a sound
Haunting the place a soul was laid to rest
The breeze of their passing is a chilling caress

Emotions and whisky
Never a good mix
Leave a heartbreak hangover
Overdosing on Netflix

Guilt and regret
For all that was said
That sour aftertaste
That says the affair is now dead

 *a state of mind* or so I was told, as they lowered him slowly into the ground

*insanity has no cure* they also did say as the crimson kiss of twilight bore my love away

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 1
...

Tripping over pieces of a broken heart
Carelessly strewn where they fell apart

You were the anchor in a world gone mad
A haven for a soul hiding from the bad

Now the universe has shifted - all is dark
I’m hunting for matches seeking a spark

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - R3
...

A half full bottle
Is that all that is left?
After a night of memories
That leave me bereft

A long empty night
Stretches ahead
But I’m long past feeling
But not past dead

Demons still lurk
Deep in my mind
Can’t drown them out
Cruelly unkind

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 2

..

The bite and the burn
Sweet Lord but it’s good
Just what I needed
Just when I could
Feel no more
I’m numbed to the teeth
Drowning one glass at a time
Until I’m on my knees...

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 3
...

So here you find me
Slow dancing with shadows
Cheek to cheek with my past
In those memories I’ll wallow

Warmed by the liquor
Jack D on the rocks
Flicker and fade
Pour me into my box

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 4
...

Fumbling towards numbness
One shot at a time
On the rocks or without
Or even with lime!

That raw ache that tortures
That squeezes my soul
Is fast drowning in liquor
Is it round eight or more?

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 6
...

A little shaken
A little stirred
By your warm touch
By your whispered words

Promises you made
Without a sound
So I’m making wishes
But you’re not around

So let me go
Just walk away
I gave you my heart
I’ll have it back one day

#SlamWords #41stEdition - round 5
...

*it’s ok to cry*
the fools said
without knowing
the reason why

complicated feelings
loving and hating
drive you to madness
drive you to despair

so I kept quiet
just carried on
but washed off the blood
buried the gun

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - round 4
...

Reaching for my sanity
In the middle of the night
I took a turn down some blind alley
Now I’m a little lost in twilight
Demons, nightmares stalk my steps
I’m stumbling in the shadows
Clutching at straws & fairytales
Adding bourbon to the mix

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - R5
...

Some days are better
Usually spent with U
Always there in my mind
My own private lure

Some nights are lonelier
When U don’t come
Knocking on my door
Seduction on yr tongue

Wicked are the times
Stolen & free
Wrapped in each other
Just U n me

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - R6
...

How cruel the weight of memory
This burden of total recall that cannot be denied
In the process of living the haunting thoughts linger
The albatross around my neck being *did I even try?*

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - round 7
...

A moment’s grace
Is all I ask
To take a breath
Consider the path
I’m set upon
That leads to U
Only to U

The way a smile felt
The day we met
Melted the ice
That sealed my heart

No regrets
No goodbyes
Together forever
Since I gazed in yr eyes

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - R8
...

A blood feud some called it
A family spat others said
But the past is alive & well
With old wounds that still bled

New scars torn open
On another moonshine run
Granpappy was an outlaw
The sheriff his grandson

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - round 9
...

Maybe some day
When the sun shines again
& the dark clouds have lifted
But until then
We’ll take what we can
Meeting in shadows
Dancing in the rain
Once we were strangers
Ships in the night
But our day shall come
When the stars re-align

#SlamWords #41stEdition #encore - round 10
...

Mourning becomes her
Or so people said
Not to her face
No never that
They had more sense
Than a wish to be dead
So walk on by
If you see her pass
Breathe a sigh of relief
Keep your gaze downcast

#poetry
#iamwriting
...

As ribbons streaming from a Maypole
Dance merrily with a nimble breeze
So did my thoughts
At your sweet words
Buzz louder than the bees

#poetry

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air –
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

#fudge in my ice-cream
Cream on my cake
Hundred and thousands
For pity’s sake
Meringue upon lemon
Victoria sponge
Baked Alaska
Melting on my tongue
A spoonful of sugar
A shower of sprinkles
How long is the lockdown?
Never see my ankles again
😳

Neon prophets reign in glowing scriptures
Give the Devil his due as you addictively succumb
Supplicants one and all to this cult of technicalities
Prance in wild abandon crying “welcome to the new age!”

Can you hear it?
Heaven’s harp?
Strummed by Angels
Tugging at my heart

They’re guiding the way
Calling me home
Tis a sweet sound to hear
I know I’m not alone

#moonmystic
...

Death metal rattle
Rock n roll savagery
Let the good times roll
Down in the Hollow
Taking no prisoners
Comes the bone collector
Slicing and dicing
The wicked blades dance
You know you could try running
But you won’t stand a chance

He came again
I heard him breathing
His shadow looming
Could feel him listening
The solid oak of the door
A barrier, a barricade
But not to him
He knew me too well
I felt his power
Scented his #excitement
& watched his face
Push through the wood
Reforming above me

 #vss365
...

“Come a little closer”
He murmured low
Drawing me near
Temptation I know

Two become one
In night’s secret shadow
Passion’s promenade
Fulfilling desires
As hours slip past

Caught on edge
Aching to fall
About to soar
I give him my all

#poetry
...

Forever seeking
In the shadows
In the arms of strangers
Sweet absolution
She’s a carnal spirit
That knows no rest
Craving passion
Lust addicted
By your touch
Released
Your fantasy
Your sin...

#poetry
...

With but a whisper
You stole my breath
Enraptured I fell
Unto your regard
Your lips formed words
I could not absorb
For the blood that thundered
A pulsing rhythm of the heart
This maelstrom of emotions
That with but a whispered word
You started....

#poetry
...

So cruel it bites
Tortures my soul
This #savage addiction
That never grows old

I hear his voice
Smell his scent
And I’m melting fast
With carnal intent

Liquid heat pools
I’m all a quiver
In burning anticipation
He’s truly a giver
