CAMELOT FANTASIES

Leering faces
Reviled in crimson
Grin lasciviously on each side

Spindly fingers
Flesh eaten bone
Beckon me on
Woe betide

#MadCarnival

...
"I understand"
Said the Mind
With supercilious venom
"I don't"
Said the Heart
With innocent confusion
"Tell me why I'm bleeding"
#SableSwanV

...
Tiny footprints in the snow
Lay a trail
Which way to go

Snowflakes whirl
In balletic flight
Shimmering moon

A chill dark night

#SenseWrds

...
Stars do shine and sparkle
Luminescent guides
To light the way
For journeying souls
Seeking a safe passage home

#ShapePoetry

...

Scarlet letter upon my breast
Your secret desire
Turning my world to chaos
My headstone a rough tablet
Inscribed with my shame

#HeartWrds

...
Riparian tranquility reigns
Harmonious nature in transcendence
The great expectations of man
Without substance deny existence

#DimpleVerse

...
Beguiled by the madness
Riotous hallucinations
Wary gaze defies the shadows

Desperately twisting
Searching
But no exit found

#MadCarnival

...

Hopes & dreams
Worn & tattered
Yet still do I believe

All that I bleed
I give to you
My heart & soul
Never bound to stray

#Ashverse 355

...

Fire away
Set your aim true
No titanium ricochet
Shall pierce my bullet proof heart
No fearless thrust
Shall steal my life away
#DimpleVerse

...

Sheltered flame
Brought to life
A hidden spark
A phoenix rising
2 brightly burn
A beacon aflare
Drawing the lost
The lonely
Home
#SableSwanV

...

Ethereal wraiths
Swarming spectres
Drift in shifting mist
Silent sentinels
Patient guardians
Awaiting my decay
2 enfold my soul
#SenseWrds

...

Offer me diamonds
Steal my heart
With an oak club
Shall I engrave our love
With a spade shall I dig
Plant a rose
Forever 2 bloom
#VerseAngel

...

Vapours roll
Oily and black
A fatal mist
Consuming all light

As stars go out
One by one
Fatal fumes rise
To engulf the night

#DarkLines

...

Candy striped lunacy
In tune with strident accordions
Ferociously played

Madness consumes
In bloody shades
Smearing the night

#MadCarnival

...

Warming raiments
Amber
Bronze
About the scenery drape
Scent of bonfires
Smoulder
Drift
Soothing the path to hibernation
& escape
#SenseWrds

...

It felt like a kiss
Soft
Sensual
When the fog rolls in
2 shroud the shore
& wreath fiery bonfires
The scent of magic in the air
#DimpleVerse

...

The sighing of leaves in a restless wind, drew my slumbrous gaze in curious wonder B4 my mind surrendered to this Sylvan dream

#DarkLines

...

Warming nectar of Fall
The scent of pumpkin spice
Memories of a childhood passed
Haunting my soul in the chilled night air

#NMCRP

...
Heaven's tears
Upon us
Do fall

#DimpleVerse
#sixwords

...
Madness swirls
Circling insanity
Spiralling in endless subjugation
A world gazes on
Greedy for more
Witness to my conflagration
#MadCarnival

...
Kingdoms may fall
But I shall survive
Never controlled
Not gonna die
Sworn to a lover's creed
Stand & fight
For you
Shall I bleed
#Ashverse

...
Seasons change
Tides turn
& the world
In motion
Continues 2 spin
While the moon
In admiration
& slow drift
Aimlessly journeys on
#SableSwanV

...
Just one step
So simple
Yet so hard
A decision made
No looking back
No time for regret
Look to the future
& in yourself
Believe

Beautiful Lady Winters Tale🙏🌺

Ravens blood

Come walk with me ...

Stretching to infinity
Oceanic depths of space
A void of Stygian velvet
Peppered by glittering stars
Mesmerised
We fly deeper
#SenseWrds 184

...
As the last timber falls
With no bridges left to burn
I turn my back
Leave it all behind
My fate now to be
This delightful exile
#SableSwanV

...
Chimes strike midnight
In somber sonorous tones
From tombs sunk deep
Rise macabre skeletal cadavers
In shrouds so grimly ghoulish

#AsymLife

...
Sugar coated kisses
Licked on quivering skin
Deliciously decadent
& in sweet abandon
I surrendered
Gave in
2 devouring temptation
#DsubVerse

...
Screaming demons
Befoul the air
Swarming
A plague
They prowl
& with shrieks so chilling
Innocents run
Tumble
Fall into the dark
#VerseAngel

...
An ill-fated star
Shone bright on yr birth
When U chose 2 ignore
A wild gypsy rose
Her warning 2 clear
Hell glimpsed in her eyes
#fieryverse

...
Eternally lonely
Ethereal wisp
Doomed forever
To drift unanchored
Her tomb dust laden
Dreams buried
Yet still
Forlorn
She waits
#Poem_Pocket

...
Eternally lonely
Ethereal wisp
Doomed forever
To drift unanchored
Her tomb dust laden
Dreams buried
Yet still
Forlorn
She waits
#Poem_Pocket

...

A raucous **** crow
The creeping dawn shatters
Soft glows the sky
My sleep now in tatters
To rise with a yawn
A new day reborn

#fieryverse

...

Faceless strangers
In silence
Gather
From whence they come
None do know
Their hallowed masks
Without humanity
Deny our presence

#DarkLines

...

Phantom thoughts roam my mind
Trailing memories whisper
Gone before I can grasp
They fade like shadows
No trace left behind

#BeautifulMess

...
A world tumbling in to controlled chaos
Kismets dire hand betrayed at every turn
As the heavens aligned in subtle rebellion

#DimpleVerse

...

Each page a step down memory lane
Images frozen from years long gone
Warm comfort offered like a hug
My tranquil peace now won
#SenseWrds185

...
A life draining out November rain
A heart in futility seeking warmth
A lesson learned
If U dance with the Devil
You reap the night
#madVerse

...
My paradise at last found
Lost in your eyes
Living without you
No life at all
If you ever leave
A barren wasteland will remain

#Ashverse

...
U R the war I cannot win
Yet no surrender shall I offer
These tears that flow
A gentle tide
R not for U
But for what we lost

#SenseWrds 186

...
In sensuous abandon we crashed to the floor
Flesh & blood vessels without anchor
Tossed in a passionate thigh gripping storm

#DsubVerse

...
A flame that burned 2 bright
& warmed this life for so short a span
A shadow fading
Echo dwindling
Your memory never past tense
#VerseAngel

...
A puzzle waiting to be solved
Secrets unfolding at every turn
You hold the key
& with but one turn
All of me shall be revealed

#DimpleVerse

...
Burnished copper
Burnt orange
Mother Nature's flaming hues
Each step I take
Through drifting leaves
Paints a warming memory

#ShapePoetry

...
You may call it subtext
For me 'tis perfect karma

#tenwords
#DimpleVerse

...
A trail of heart felt words
Bleeding across an empty page
Spilling from my dearest vein
In ink so crimson
To stain for eternity
#SableSwanV

...
From the shadows
Gaze covetous eyes
Glittering possession vowed
A black widow poised
Barely restrained
Hungry for the prize

#SenseWrds 187

...
Wade into the water
Submerge yourself beneath
Feel the tumbling flow
Dragging you deeper
Swept by the undertow
Her spirit anew

#HeartWrds

...
An English Rose
She flourishes
Nourished by the warmth of his love
& soft rain of his words
She blossoms in pastel splendour

#Poem_Pocket

...
An empty shell
Without shadow
Aimless he drifts
A dead man walking
Forgotten by all
He bides his time
Hungering for the end

#DarkLines

...
Glittering effervescence
Exploding in the sky
Rainbow shimmering hues
Reflecting in your eyes
With sparkles to match the stars

#VerseAngel

...
Teetering on the edge of regret
My heart bleeds out from such an amorous affliction
This blighted romance a curse without cure

#DimpleVerse

...
Always drifting
Just out of reach
Those fleeting memories
Here then gone
As days fade to years
Still desperately chasing moments
#SableSwanV

...
Lashed by the whip of desire
Passions boil
Spilling like lava
To brand my soul
Swamp my senses
This craving for you undenied

#SenseWrds 188

...
Where wild swans settle
There shall my love & I bide
To watch the seasons turn
Ever changing
While we stand still
Just you & I
#DimpleVerse

A literary dance with Banquozghost, who writes first:

I walk home

Each step I count

At home
each sigh
each tick of the clock
each drip of that tap
I never fixed

I count them
since you left

...

Bare walls
Unadorned
Where once your image hung

Press close
Suffocate
Crushing my now dying spirit

Still
In longing
I wait

@Banquozghost

...
@MercurialNight
Hush of air
settles
on hungry skin

Aching for tenderness
you do not come
do not touch

Memories
tears
frozen in my fingers

...

Ethereal wraiths whisper in my mind
Memories of soft words
Whispered
Do linger
& then R gone
Haunting me yet
With every breath
@Banquozghost

...
@MercurialNight
Last fingers of smoke

A fire dies

Red veins of heat
turn to grey worms
of ash
slinking
into stillness

Cold without you

...

Embers flicker
Fighting 4 life
2 blaze again

This smouldering ash
Dusted on the floor
Then born aloft
On a breeze
Dispersed

@Banquozghost

Footsteps echo
Lost from sight
Sirens scream
Shatter the night
The lonely streets
Witness to much
Keep my secrets
Bear no grudge
#VerseAngel

...
Taste my words upon your tongue
Feel my heat in a burning kiss
A primal touch we crave so much
Is ours, my love, branded bliss

#DsubVerse

...
Ravens take flight
Heading West
Skies are a-boil
A demonic tempest

Innocents flee
Kneel & pray
Hell has arrived
Come to stay

...
Troubadours sing of courtly love
While our eyes betray deep longing
Stealing our guilty pleasures
Concealing our secret crush

#DimpleVerse

...
Troubadours sing of courtly love
While our eyes betray deep longing
Stealing our guilty pleasures
Concealing our secret crush

#DimpleVerse

...
Feelings so delicate
Tender and true
Like lace
Veil my heart
As I whisper
I love you

#fieryverse

...
Your scent
Your touch
Love you
So much

#HeartWrds 16

...
Inch by inch
Creeping slow
From the shadows slip
A demonic flow
Scuttling claws
Scraping wood
Close in 4 the kill
This isn't good
#DarkLines

...
Always in our breast
Hope never dies
We've come so far
Yet somewhere it lies
In the distance
On a horizon
Ever out of reach

#ShapePoetry

...
Mine is the breath upon your neck
The shadow at your back
Tho your heels sprout wings
U cannot hide
You'll be my fugitive snack
#DimpleVerse

...
A Celtic dream
A lyrical muse
She rises from the stream

To cast her spell
In language pure
Her temptation undeniable

#SenseWrds  192

...
Captured forever
Monochrome memories
Upon a wall they hang

Treasured keepsakes
Each one a gem
All that remains is a lonely pang

#madVerse

...

Break my heart
Serrate my love
I'm never letting go
You're my angel
& I'll wait for you
Drowning in love
& your tender embrace
#magickverse

...
Beneath these wings
Sanctuary is offered
Where your fugitive heart
So bold
Yet scarred
May breathe again
& to the heavens
Soar

#DimpleVerse

...

Fortune's wheel spins once again
Casting unfortunates down
Stormy weather gathers her wrath
To sweep clean this damned town

#ShapePoetry

...
Raindrops fall from on high
Angelic tears a silent waterfall
A refreshing wave upon dusty lands
To quench the thirsting Earth

#writtenriver

...
Never mind the darkness
Blessed yet safe
Nothing lasts forever
& killing the pain
Inflicted by restrained love
Cuts too deep

#Ashverse 372

...

With your tongue
Upon my flesh
Weave your spell
So wicked

Inscribe your love
In salacious strokes
Drive me wild
Torment & coax

#DsubVerse

...
Smouldering embers
Barely aglow
R all that's left
He left long ago
Do I take him back
Let him go
What's done is done
But even so

#SenseWrds

...

At the cry of a raven
Shadows slip forth
To roam the dark of night
With intentions unspeakable
Deadly vengeance strikes out
#Rhythmic_Words

...
An empty shell
Where once laughter lived
And can thrive once again
Come walk with me
Imagine the promise
Of a dusty home reborn
#DimpleVerse

...
Crimson streaks on high
Clouds take sullen shape
To frame a Blood Moon Rising
Looming portent threatens
A nightmare Devil's drape

#PoeVerse

...
Sophisticated connoisseur
His tastes ever so refined
With complex simplicity
His pomegranate penchant
So succulently defined

#DimpleVerse

...

Upon ragged shores of your derision, shall I bleed eternally. You're hard to resist yet still not an angel & I'll never change.

#Ashverse

...
Melancholy waves roll
As rain logged clouds in the sky
Memories scrolling ever faster
Upon a magic lantern
That is my mind's eye
#VerseAngel

...
Time is a cruel trickster
Swift one day
Yet to a snails pace the next
Stealing what is precious
Only melancholy memories left

#Poem_Pocket

...
Wreathed in sunlight
She stands
A beacon shining
For one and all
Her welcoming arms
A haven so safe
Sheltering all who come

#fieryverse

...

Cast down
Beyond redemption
A fallen angel
Without exception
Wings now clipped
Dreaming of flight
Darkness falls
Upon her plight

#DarkLines

...
As shadows fall
2 gently drape
Steps echo
Coming closer
A secret assignation
Arms wrap
As lips meet
Whispers soft
Rising heat
#SenseWrds 194

...
Time passes in languid flow
Limpid pools gaze in adoration
Whispering to U my love poesy
I languish in a candle's lambent glow

#DimpleVerse

...
376 #Ashverse

Sinking fast
Going under
Time slipping past
Under strain
Lungs fight for life
Exhausted beady eyes
Almost blind
Fade out

...
In shadow
Shall my dark poet come
His feathered mastery
Unsurpassed
Desiring a rope's kiss
Senses scream
To his knife's caress

#DimpleVerse

...
In shadow
Shall my dark poet come
His feathered mastery
Unsurpassed
Desiring a rope's kiss
Senses scream
To his knife's caress

#DimpleVerse

...
Chase the shadows from your life
And walk in light forevermore
Feel the warmth upon your skin
& together your hearts shall soar

#fieryverse

...

From a twisted mind
Desires shall spiral
Ever deeper
Always darker
Until all is stripped bare
To raw
Hungering
Naked
Need

#DsubVerse

...
Winter's soft blanket
Spread pristine white upon the ground
Sparkling in the sunlight
With not a whisper of sound

#SenseWrds 195

...
Thru life everlasting
Beside me U walk
Tho we do not speak
I feel your breath
Tho I cannot see U
I know you're there
Haunting me

#DarkLines

...

Without you beside me
This Summertime of my life
Stretches endlessly
Locked in Winter's embrace
Until the moment of your return

#SenseWrds

...

Whisper
Rumour
Lies in truth
Bleed my soul
Suck dry my youth
My paper thin courage
Barely there
Yearns in hope
If he'd but care

#SableSwanV

...

Sum of all fears realised
& bleeding ashes
At my feet scatter
Neath falling skies of grey
& crying angels
In marble locked
Do pray
#ashverse

...
Light the candle
Draw forth the flame
Calling the shadows
We invoke thy name

Time's tempest
Stormy brows
Lies in wait
Then goes

#madVerse

...
Such a masterful touch
Rhythm divine
Manipulating aggressive curiousity
He commands my senses
Demanding my submission

#DsubVerse

...
Alleyways that lead nowhere
Between these tombs of stone
Where echoes of laughter
Fade on the wind
Mementoes of souls long gone

#PoeVerse

...
Alleyways that lead nowhere
Between these tombs of sorrow
Where echoes of laughter
Fade on the wind
Mementoes of souls long gone

#PoeVerse

...
Alleyways that lead nowhere
Between these tombs of sorrow
Where echoes of laughter
Fade on the wind
Mementoes of souls long gone

#PoeVerse

...
With an unblinking malevolence
He observes closely from afar
His opaque jet gaze fixed
In silent condemning obsidian regard

#VerseAngel 64

...
A thread unravelling
He walked away
Secrets left hanging
Ends come undone
Frayed at the edge
I thought they'd hold
But no more
#Poem_Pocket

...
His heated gaze devouring my undulating curves
He watches intently in silence
An intense voyeur savouring my decadent display

#dsubverse

...
PINNED to the wall
My head TILTED
BARELY coherent
Evading the camera's PERUSAL
TINGLES spiralling deep
NOT ENOUGH I cry
No MORE
#DimpleVerse

...
''Tis an inescapable truth that the more I deny his singular touch, the more I ache to feel his passionate embrace

#SableSwanV

...
Angelic wisdom from on high
Guiding me through each day
A guardian forever walking beside me
Gently showing me the way

#SenseWrds 197

...
Winter's frigid unfeeling grace
Steals silently as a thief
Her frozen glacial facade
Concealing an Arctic vow of desolation

#fieryverse

...
WINTER TEARS slip SILENTLY
Tender gaze in quiet adoration
Upon the frozen ICE QUEEN
Encircled by crystalline BLUE REFLECTIONS

#DimpleVerse

...
Mother Natures WINTER TEARS
Cascade SILENTLY from heaven's brow
BLUE REFLECTIONS of Natures ICE QUEEN
Cast in frozen perfection
#DimpleVerse

...
Rough at the edge
He got things done
A walking talking Emery board
Gathering friction at every turn
He rubbed em wrong
Up & down
#VerseAngel
