CAMELOT FANTASIES

Pulse pounding hypnotic horror
Leads me down in death defying spirals
To one frightening encounter after another
Where demonic thrills and chills prowl
Hungry to feast upon mortal souls
Their ravenous appetites too long unappeased

...
A marionette enmeshed in a web of imagination
Cast by the Ringmaster’s demonic whims
This mesmerising seductive darkness
That beckons me onward unto my fickle fate
Denying this feeling of unease
To pull me under a sweeping tide of menace

Dark Cinderella without any hope
Lost in a city so cruel and black
She dreams of a day one day to come
When she’ll walk in silver beneath the sun

In myriad hues
Captured in my heart
Shall I think of you
Cool red in passions flame
Wrapped in shades of warm blue

...
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

#noir #poetry
...
So blind you could not see
Deaf to the warnings you would not heed
Too late the fly caught within her web
The Beast within the Beauty
The lightning within the storm
She’ll break you down
Leave you scattered adrift
Lost on vanity’s lonely shore

Within my mind’s eye
Forever captured
Frozen in time
Sweet KISS OF INFINITY
Wrought in rainbow hues
A rapture in VISUAL POETRY
I’ll remember the magical view
Whenever I see this PHOTOGRAPH
And smile as I think of you

Buried within these poisoned dreams
Dual realities bleed through the looking glass
Rising from the depths to spill and seep
This descent into madness so fast and steep

Caught between burning realms
These smouldering pyres that surround
Nowhere to turn in a world set aflame
The darkest hearth writ large with my name

(🎨The Beginning of Ashes” by Mikael Aldo)

#PoemTrail 302

Shedding the unclean trappings of a life gone sorely awry
Pure grace surrounded and lifted the downtrodden soul
A shining light of undiluted clarity bathing the shadowed world in a once forgotten beauty

As night draws down her mourning shroud
And skies grow black with no moon allowed
Then shall he come with steps of dread
Trailing nightmare horrors in bloodstained red
Jack O’ Lantern was once his name
He’s coming for you
For on this one night
You are fair game
#WrittenRiver 1566
...

Falls the blood upon the tomb
Beneath these silent witnessing oaks
Hallowed ground yet not for thee
Who walks the earth yet be not of it
For this one night when veils are torn
Releasing the cursed and Hell spawned

#IntrigueVerse 149
...

Spawn of Hell wreaking terror
Two by two they onward come
Demonic angels of impure innocence
Sweet candy freaks of All Hallows’ Eve
Bolt the door & seal fast the windows
In spirit shall they steal within
In cast out damnation shall they depart

308 #DarkLines
(🎨Thomas Jerusalem)
...

Lost in the mist
Where echoes fade
Abandoned horrors lurk
In God forsaken shadows
That hunger for souls
The tired and dejected
Among the missing
Of this cruel modern life
& When the night breaks
Then so shall they

With reptile smiles
They do seduce
This monster mash
Of the mummified
& The undead
Who yet stalk the night
In parasitic legion
Prowling 4 souls
Hungry for flesh
From below they seep
In poisonous flood
On this night of nights
When the will is weak
& perfect 4 frights

An Angel's kiss
White feather blessing
I feel your presence
Beside me
Within me
Never forgotten
Forever and always
Memento Mori
Amen

“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 the hours slip past
& our need climbs higher

(Left 🎨: Richard Blunt)
#PoemTrail 304
...

She was ice and fire
A bolt of lightning
Straight to his heart
Searing his soul
No more would he wander
Adrift and alone
Always on the outside
Ever searching for a home

#DimpleVerse
...

Beneath forest canopies
Shadowed and quiet
The pixies cavort if you believe
Traipsing leaves in glorious legion
Guild the ground in glorious fusion
Where boots and bards linger and muse
Upon a universe in harmony with chaos diffused

🎨- JMB

#BardBits 69
...

In silent battalions they march in rows
These talking spirits that walk no more
Beneath live oaks with mourning moss veils
Mature aged sentinels ever standing guard
Over honourable souls laid down to rest
Now at peace on this Day of the Dead
