CAMELOT FANTASIES

blushing sweet maiden
in shy modesty
slips from her sheltered bower
in flourishing Spring
fresh blooming
to gather loves bouquet
#fieryverse

.....

Sing your song
& free your soul
On this wild ride
To who knows where
Harmonies flow from our lips
Our spirits shall dance in joy
#WyldeVerse


.....

Crimson bloom of life's rich essence spreading like rain upon a snowy field, to paint a lasting farewell...

#Darktale

beholden to our king
we all must bend the knee
swear our fealty loyal
amidst shining chivalry
defending his line
now & evermore
#fieryverse

.....
in dreams I tiptoed
slipped in to yr bed
beside U to lie
was it all in my head?
desire reborn
a shy phoenix to rise
free at last

#SenseWrds

Tis a dark irony
That which all men know
That the one you love
Give your heart and soul
Is also the one who can crush your soul

#Darktale
.....

Searching
Always seeking
Never resting
From the Stygian depths
Blind leading the blind
Emerging into nefarious light
At last

Naked
Furless world
So cold
We seek warmth
Unshying
You drew me in
I'm deliciously confused
My soul now
The beast that loves you

#ashverse

In miserly guise
My heart
So cold
Shall beat no more for you
Under lock and key
Behind a vault
I'll keep her safe and true

Where none
In their toying
Uncaring and harsh
Shall play their tune
Upon her tender strings
For your marionette
She is not

Pristine in her virtue
Uncorrupted and pure
Behind delicate veils
Of shimmering hues
There shall she reside
Forevermore

A metronome stilled in place
A clock unmoved by time
A calendar of unmarked days
You were my sun
My dial now dimmed
By lowering sorrowful clouds

As a princess of sleeping beauty
She shall await her prince
One so worthy
And honour abound
To raise her up
Her rhythm and warmth
Once more found

A ballad referring to Viking invasions

Twas Winter, I recall
When lowering skies
And freezing winds
Gripped tight upon the land

When the pick axe blade
Swung heavy and true
No indent could it make
Upon the iron hard soil

Yes, was it then the boats did come
Dragon prows clear in the mist of dawn
Arriving on the morning tide
A swarmin' like locusts to plague our lands

No quarter did they offer
And none did we ask
But they took what they wanted
And many a hearth lay empty after

Many a widow was made that day
And orphans not forgetting too
Images seared forever in their eyes
Of invaders who would this day rue


@MercurialNight
The axe I bear
battle-notched
she sings
with the ghosts
of those I've slain
warriors
who will not walk this earth again

.@Banquozghost

In Valhalla they shall drink
And sing their songs of victories
Hard fought
Hard won
Honoured by those they left behind

@MercurialNight
Don't die
for silver
or for gold

Die where the fight is hot
where the bold
are named in awe
heroes that sup
with the gods

Strike hard
Strike fast
As the battle crow
Glory awaits
In halls of Valhalla
Make your sons proud
& your name forever sung

@Banquozghost

 

Petals unfurling towards the sun
Silken velvet to the touch
We ride the winds
In passionate storm
Tossed on shores of love

A ballad form about Wuthering Heights for the Madverse prompts
