CAMELOT FANTASIES

Those silent echoes
Felt deep within
A heart in torment
Caged in a prison

Of a heart torn in grief
For a loved one lost
Rendered and bleeding
Still counting the cost

The world spins on
While I remain apart
Still mourning the loss
Clutching my heart

 #Moonmystic
…
Explaining nothing
My reasoning is my own
My body - my choice

#haiku
…

Look in the mirror
Ancient eyes stare back at me
The past still breathing

#haiku
…

Midnight solitude
Felines prowl in hunting mode
Predator terror

#haiku
…

Never never land
Far beyond dreams, let us fly
Magic and wonder

#haiku
…

Betrayal is the wound
Deep cut and bleeding
Oozing life drains yet
Though I still stand
Bent but not broken
Cursing your name
With bitter regret
Of that day long ago
When the world ceased
Turning and held its breath

“see you aroun’, Joe” he growled, chewing on a cigar

“you knew the #score when you joined” humourless lips almost sneer

“the boss ain’t good at forgivin’ those that cross the line an’ then you go an’ do it twice. Terminally stupid, Joe, terminally stupid”

A hundred bottles lined the shore
A tribute to the party the night before

The bodies of the fallen strewn all around
Hung over mementos collapsed on the ground

#glib words
in supine grace
from sly lips fall
honesty misplaced

beware the wolf
concealed as lamb
a predatory smile
for the prey so damned

with each word I wrote
 each letter placed
  one after the other
   the lock was picked
    the cage opened
     my soul set free
      to soar upon high
       for if I could not write
        then my soul would die

#venture into wonderland

Down the path
Through the rain
Around the oak
And back again

Ignore the looking glass
Don’t look back
Keep on walking
Avoid all the cracks

The queen is watching
The Mad Hatter too
Don’t ever stand still
Or they’ll catch you…

#vss365
…

Don’t turn your back
Don’t turn away
My heart beats for you
It’s always been that way
You are the only one
The pulse within my blood
Slice me open to the core
& there you’ll find your name
Carved deep in the bone
To me it’s never been a game

Think not upon the coming night
As the sun sinks slowly from our sight

Wild creatures stir to roam the land
Callous of heart in what is planned

Blood shall flow in their cruel wake
Demons ride forth - the Earth to shake

#poetry

Strawberry kisses
Dandelion wine
Summer madness
Moments in time

Lazing in meadows
Brooks babbling near
Gazing at clouds
All seemed so clear

The world was ours
We lived for the day
Enjoying each moment
The future far away

#moonmystic
…

Swirling enigmas do veil the obscure
That which walks in moonlight is not always pure
Consider good fortune to be on your side
When stealing homeward that you are still alive

Images unspooling in broken reels
Sepia tones to black and white
Those fading memories of bygone times
Haunting my heart to sink from sight

#poetry

Treasure discovered
#diamond bright fixation
Greed burns deep
Lost redemption

 #PenYourTen

Tears stream in #rivulets
Pouring from a soul
Drowning in torment
Never again to be whole

Blood moon rising
Do you sense the change?
Or hear the distant howling
Of a soul trapped in pain?
It’s coming for you
Somewhere in the night
Hiding within shadows
Uncaring of your plight

#SlamWords #52ndEdition - round 1
…

How hungry it is
Appetite unassuaged
Always stalking prey
From it there is no escape

So you can keep running
In fear for your life
Hiding beneath covers
Staying in the light

#SlamWords #52ndEdition - round 2
…

Silent screams echo within my mind
Frozen in fear, I’m locked in time
Brimstone breath so hot upon my cheek
I daren’t move though how it does reek

#SlamWords #52ndEdition - round 4
…

Within secret dungeons
my demons shall to seek
To slay and destroy
overcome and obliterate
I was a chained prisoner
with no hope of at all
But those shackles are gone
no longer trapped on the wall

#SlamWords #52ndEdition - round 5
…

With a sinister smile that slices my soul
I’m a fly caught in a web of unholy thrall
Those fangs descending that mesmerise
Drawn like a magnet to my own cruel demise

#SlamWords #52ndEdition - round 9
…

Ripped from the womb
Demon claws steal
Slaughterhouse nightmares
Bodies dripping so real

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore - round 1
…

All around the walls closing in
Cage, bars and locks
The outlook seriously grim
Poltergeist hauntings
Going bump in the night
Yet here in the cage
Things will be alright

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore - round 3
…

Nothing like the smell of freshly tilled soil on a chill morn.  Unless it’s a fresh grave with a body so worn. Broken lives buried with unspoken secrets. Except for the priest who has so much to fear. Watching where he treads. Hell so near.

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore R4
…

I loved once
A long time ago
A soulless creature
So much did he know
Seduced me with lies
Though cast no reflection
In the depth of midnight
He held me in thrall
To his chill benediction

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore - round 5
…

Pure terror gripped
A vice round my heart
Arterial sprayed red
My last heartbeat
Paranoia’s muse
In alabaster white
Smiled softly down
At my pathetic plight

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore - round 6/7

…

Born of fire
Hellish damnation
Trailing ashes
And brimstone
From a funeral pyre
Unadulterated evil
Some whispered behind
Praying on their knees
For a faith they’d never find

#SlamWords #52ndEdition #encore - round 8
…

A #stutter in time
A hesitation
A pause in the flow
A fluctuation
All in a moment
As two gazes meet
Captured forever
That love we did seek
