As twilight falls
& a moon rises
So do the demons
To seek the weak & frail
As shadows loom
So do my dreams
2 sweep them far away
#fieryverse
......
Rail against the incoming tide, the oncoming storm & yet, no matter how hard, they still happen & nothing U do will change that
#Darktale
.....
Wrapped in light
Divinity felt all around
She whispers of glory
Soft eyes aglow
Forever to walk in the light
Wherever she goes
#SenseWrds 85
....
Foolish pride
Held my tongue
As my arms
Empty
Ache to hold you close
Cursing myself
I watch U leave
& silently scream your name
#WyldeVerse
.....
Crushed by the cruel hand of Fate
Brought down by pride
Here I lie
Neath a fruitless tree
Forgotten
No marker to kiss my scars
#ashverse
...
Glacial tears
Once locked
Begin to flow
Released
To flood the land
While high above
The sun laughed
& conquered Winter
Hides away
#ntitle
....
Lost in the darkness of a world gone mad - shall I ever recover my sanity to live again?
#Darktale
....
Tempted by fate's whispers
Seeking the King's favour
I know nothing is free
Yet I fell
Deep
Pls forgive me
I can't forgive myself
#ashverse
....
We watched for days
The sun burning our skin
As the waters flowed around
Hope in our hearts undimmed
And at last the dove returned
#ntitl
....
Come take my hand
Let your senses reign
Submerge my mind in sweet promise
A tidal wave of desire
Rekindle the flame
Burn me deep
#WyldeVerse
A touch of Dickens and Miss Haversham
Untouchable
Never to be lost
Memories hang
As paintings
In the gallery of my mind
Forever captured
Treasured
In my heart to stay
#fieryverse
.....
The worst of me
Was all you could see
Shrouded in darkest black
You argued loud
My courageous saviour
And won!
My sentence reduced
#ashverse
.....
@lordofletters
Your words fall sweetly
As soft summer rain
Upon mine ears
Which do
As thirsty flowers
Savour such drenching refreshment
...
Capulet & Montague
Perfectly mismatched
Staying away
Our only choice
Did we?
No
Just in time
You came
Gave me that kind of hug
💑
#ashverse
.....
And here they come
By the twofold
Towards the saviour Ark
While all around
Without hope
The land is drowned
To be washed of all sin
#ntitle
....
Disbelieving eyes gaze skyward
Wide eyed witness 2 the heavenly dance
Vibrant hues lash the skies
Conducted by God's unseen hand
#fieryverse
......
Hidden from sight
Deep in the woods
Sleeps a secret
Hibernating
Wrapped beneath a blanket of nuts
#SenseWrds 86
.....
The last chance saloon
Though to me?
I call it home
Been here so often
With U
Yet this time?
Perhaps not
#WyldeVerse

You've written some good poems, there.
Thank you, Ann. Just never enough time to enjoy writing.
You're welcome, Winter. What with our everyday lives we don't seem to have enough time to read all we would like to neither.
Fortunes Wheel spins again
Who once rode high
Now crawls in the dust
Mercurial gods
Ever jealous
Leave you a sadder & wiser man
#ntitle 743
.....
Sugar coated words
Honey sweet laced
Drip slowly from thy lips
Soft balm to my mind
Yet lurking beneath
I'm sure they're sour
#ntitle 744
.....
My blue water Angel
No more shall you cry
Come walk beside me
And hold your head high
Dash your waves upon the rocks
Expend your energy in futile effort
This shore will stand forever
As Man himself shall never do
#SenseWrds
To be read in the voice of an old timer out West at the turn of the century
The Ballad of Lilly-Mae
our goal
reaching unity
beneath the black flag
we stumbled
lost identity
til all that remains
in blood steeped
is a hearts legacy
#ashverse
The battlefield now silent
Death stalks amongst the fallen
And in the distance
To shield the fading sun
Hangs a twist of smoke
#fieryverse
......
Some whispered
Some stared
Some turned their heads away
A widow in mourning
Carrying a fragile treasure
Sweet memories of her love
#ntitle
...
stars shine down
from the heavens above
lighting for us the way
soft steps upon the path
as we say goodbye to the day
#SenseWrds 92
....
when all is fire & brimstone
the very world set to light
tis then my friend
that those with a heavy hand
walk as if on eggshells
#fieryverse
....
no king rules forever
following footsteps stalk
succeeding U
this fallen knight
in an act of treason
knew the true meaning of fear
#ashverse
....
When owls do hoot
So my soul shall take flight
To the heavens above
Setting the stars alight
