Promise me heaven
With all that you are
Bequeath me hell
When you journey too far
...
Time
That precious commodity
Slipping by
This home I once knew
Cherished
Now lost in the past
Yet gilded memories
Of us
Live on
#SenseWrds
...
Upon a snowflake
Wrapped in wonder
Sat a Christmas elf
#hangtenstories
...
Sullen clouds
With Winter snow
In swollen misery
Loom
While far below
In expectation
Children do gather
Eyes eagerly aglow
#fieryverse
...
So many locks
Without keys to be found
Lay strewn behind me
To cover the ground
Each a memory
Forever locked
But never mocked
#tabloprompts
...
A Winter queen
With frozen tears
She waits in anticipation
Of a Snow king
For whom snowflakes dance
To offer a diamond ring
#Poem_Pocket
...
What demonic hand
Dipped in blood
Designed this cruel facade?
Etched in pain
And agony deep
Brush stroke lacerations
Wounds seep
#DarkLines
...
With a beckoning smile
Tempting
Seductive
He drew me ever closer
I breathed him in
Succumbed
Surrendered
Drowning myself in sin
#VerseAngel
...
A MOODY MEETING OF MINDS
Concealing STACCATO words
As TAILORED bullets
Rend
And STILETTOs
In taught intimate glide
Nimbly TANGO
#DimpleVerse
...
Set sail upon waves of stardust
Blown by playful solar winds
To ride the crest of racing comets
Seeking glory beyond the stars
#Poem_Pocket
...
Firelight glow
Pine cone scents
Whispers
Smiles
Warm mulled wine
Between cupped hands
To sip
To savour
While limbs entwine
🎄
#SenseWrds
...
Torn from my lips
Fate was 2 cruel
The words I tried to say
My wasted breath
Was his undoing
A breaking point
& he walked away
#SableSwanV
...
#MadVerse
Dreams are born
In a cradle of light
Where nostalgic melancholy
Surrenders to quiet contemplation
And hope is resurrected within
...
Around fires aglow
Gather our friends
All whom we know
As night descends
To welcome a Winter solstice
And the season moves on
#VerseAngel
...
Clothed in Mother Nature's finest
Succulent enticement sublime
My hunger
My desire
Deepens
My resolve
So weak
Surrenders
#SenseWrds 207
...
Storm tossed soul
Shipwrecked
Bereft
Spent upon life's shore
A wounded vessel
Without anchor
Never to sail again passion's ocean
#TastyPoem
...
Her dreams UNSUPRESSED
With burning ambition
She aimed for the GLASS CEILING
EXPANDING her boundaries
& REACHed FOR THE STARS
#DimpleVerse
...
As ivy 2 the branch
Our souls do so entwine
Each a part of the other
Until death do us part
& in the final reckoning
Bury us as 1
#DarkLines
...
To be with you
This Christmas Eve
Is truly my heart's desire
Sharing sweet candy kisses
'Neath hanging mistletoe
Beside a fire

DRIFTING along NEGLECTED alleys
Lurking upon street CORNERs
The DEBRIS of life strewn
With none to ASK WHY
Crying DON'T DO it
#DimpleVerse
...
Careless whispers in the dark
Softly spilling from passions lips
Stripped bare in the light of day
While shamed eyes turn away
#DimpleVerse
..Rumours flew
On swift envious wings
Careless whispers
That did rend
A talent so rare
In peace may he rest
As I offer a prayer
#DimpleVerse
...
From the mint
To the chocolate
In layers sublime
Decadent essence
Tinctures so sweet
Buds of taste
To deny would be a crime
#SenseWrds 209

With a bow to the Bishop
She doth ride
With a Knight so bold
By her side
@ljgrodecki @whykatwrites @CarolineBuffa @WSJ

Nature's appetite shall surely be appeased by such a tempting feast spread for her delectation
#luckypawn
@ljgrodecki @whykatwrites

Upon gossamer wings
Let her take flight
To the stars she will fly
Drowned in moonlight
#writtenriver
...
Torn from our grip
Blown away
Lost on life's capricious breeze
Memories of us
Of what we had
Scattered as if Autumn leaves
#SenseWrds 209
...
Left upon a shelf
A WELL THUMBED volume
Concealing HIDDEN PLEASURES
and fragrant SECRET PASSAGES
Within her FRAGILE BINDING
#DimpleVerse
...
Dreamy gaze of a forest shade
Hides concealed in wonderland
A fairytale unfolding
In sweeping imagination
Of a damsel waiting
#SenseWrds 210
...
We stand upon the cusp of destiny
Anticipation a dread stone in our bellies
To face the dawn and what may come
What Lady Fate has in store
@MercurialNight @beth_radley
Grim mouths muttering
soldiers' prayers
we meet the charge
with steel and leather
No quarter asked
none given
Valorous hearts stoutly defend
A swathe they cut
Steps traced in blood
That in the final hour
When all appears lost
To win in glorious power
@MercurialNight @beth_radley Hot blood cools
to aching wounds
and broken bones
Victory's cup aloft
we honour those who fell
We bury them
And toast their memories
In years to come
Around the hearths of our future
They shall be forever young
@Banquozghost @beth_radley
@MercurialNight @beth_radley
They had my back.
I knew them.
Each year, a cup,
I speak the names.
They died.
We lived on ..
I know not why.
Brothers they were
And still remain
We honour their bravery
As we remember their names
@Banquozghost @beth_radley
...Fragile glass bridges
Built on soft dreams
Reflected in hopeful eyes
Stretch across this wasteland
Denying our uncertain feeling
#MadVerse
...
In the silence of snow
Where invisible sight may not penetrate
Nor shed tears flow
Where all is pristine
No past to soil such purity
#NMCRP
...
Such simple white lies
He meant so well
Yet they cut as sharply
As deeply
As sweetly
As any knife
When the truth came to light
#DimpleVerse
...
To find a rainbow
We must go through some rain
It washes and cleanses
Sweeps away all the pain
...
Tracing each beloved contour
Memorising all that makes U U
I shall remember
Forevermore
A view of my life
When it included you
#ShapePoetry

My midnight wish
As I gaze at the stars
An unguarded secret
In this moment in time
Is that he shall return
& once more
Be mine

Wherever we go
Forgiving
Knowing we'll return
A tranquil haven
Of mute serenity

Feet tap tapping
Ambience heady with JAZZ ZEST
Voices all SING SING SING
Smokes in LIGHT UP
REQUISITE STAMINA of all in roar

Torn apart
Fate denied our love
As I watched U sail to sea
Yet here on the shore
In waiting
I shall watch
For the return of thee
#fieryverse
...
Carnal desires undenied
Insatiable appetites hunger to be appeased
Taking without hesitation
Casting aside lingering inhibitions
#DsubVerse
...
Charms of gold
Eyes of green
Her mystic sight
Truth or dream
Breaking fate
She cannot do
Fortunes are set
And beyond her view
#madVerse
...
Hurtling in wild confusion
Spinning out of control
Tumbling towards a destiny unknown
While colliding thoughts rage and boil
#fieryverse

Trust in yourself
If no one else
When faith is broken
It rends your world
Ruptures fragile bonds
Take two steps back
Breathe
#Rhythmic_Words

A new chapter beckons
Just within reach
My hope in dreams
A promise awaiting
Just a few unknown steps away
Beyond the rainbow

Ancestors watch

In them we trust
By our side
Pierce the veil
Betwixt hidden worlds
Voodoo vixen mysteries

Beneath your touch
So tenderly offered
My heart blooms with love
Sensations
As if petals shaken free
Scatter upon my frame
#DimpleVerse
...
Emotions set free
Tumbling cascade
Tears concealed
Hidden within rain
Flowing silvered streams
Disguising my desperate pain
#writtenriver
...
Sirens of the sea
Seducing men to their doom
Tempted beyond insanity
They leap to their fate
& into your arms
For your vanity
#SenseWrds 212
...Did I not see the signs?
Was my wilful heart so blind?
In friendship's sweet warmth
My rival slipped in
The cut she gave unkind
#SableSwanV
...
Dipped in starlight
She dwelt in the heavens
Where the night sky
In slow revolution
Haloed about her brow
A moonlit glow
#writtenriver
...
Spinning her web
Fate weaves her spell
Threading time thru life's tapestry
She casts her net wide
Enshrouding all
Eclipsing caul
#madVerse
...
With courage plucked
& teeth clenched
They faced their destiny
Bore their fate
& with grim fortitude
They pulled thru
Survived
#fieryverse

Wait and see
Touch and feel
I am forever yours
#hangtenstories

From her ROOM WITH THE VIEW
On a LANGUID Summer's e'en
She gazes upon the world
A CASHMERE SHAWL to COCOON
& soft breezes FLOW
#DimpleVerse
...
Those hidden spaces
Of which no one tells
Behind locked doors
Where secrets do dwell
& passions soar high
In lascivious abandon
#DsubVerse
...
Scars he bore
In silent fortitude
Each a tale he'd never tell
A valiant warrior
Returned at last
Haunted by an inner hell
#SenseWrds 213
...
Just upon the horizon
Barely breaching the brow
Comes the slow creeping dawn
Of a shy Winter sunrise
To awaken a sleeping land
#ShapePoetry

Engulfed by sweet sensation
She surrendered with but a sigh
#tenwords

Swept under
Engulfed
She succumbed
Surrendered
#sixwords

I'd run so long
So hard
So fast
I'd forgotten who I was
My mind
Engulfed
My thoughts
In ricochet
I stopped
Turned
Faced my past
#DimpleVerse
...
In Stygian black
Looms a Dark Knight
Thrill me
Begs Gotham's rotting core
Hold me
Pleads souls long dead
Kiss me
Purrs a Catwoman
#Ashverse

In the sweet give n take of a secret desire
Cloaked in the depth of midnight's shade
We succumb to a lust filled moonlight madness
#madVerse

He was the rock upon which my loving foundation rested
#hangtenstories

It's a long way home when you're scared 2 face the past, the truth of what U did. But then again, the first step is the hardest
#ShapePoetry
...
The games people play
When the rules are known
The pain that flows
When they are not
We all roll the dice
And play our hand
#SableSwanV

Breathless
Poised on the edge
The beckoning abyss below
Don't look down
Trust in destiny
Is the next your last
Or the first

Vigilant upon a Wall
Jon SNOW watches
Over the STARK BEAUTY of all
While WINTER grips in a glacial fist
& death stalks the mist

He came
He saw
He stole my heart
Made me smile
Made me laugh
And kept me safe once more

As long as you need me
Forever and a day
Until the end of time
Still there shall I be
A watchful guardian
An angel in your need

Change is good
They often say
I don't know why
Just seems that way
People come
People go
Always in motion
Ever in flow

Anchored in the past
She longed to be free
A dove set to flight
Released with a key
A gentle word
A tender touch
All a mystery
#writtenriver

In WINTER's STARK BEAUTY
Each silent SNOWflake
In gentle fall
Lays a crystal perfection
Upon a calm and chill lake
#DimpleVerse

Unexpected
He came
Unforeseen
I surrendered
Spellbound
To the words he invoked
& somewhere deep within
Something ancient awoke
#writtenriver

Chalk up my name
On the blackboard of death
Let the countdown at last begin
Fate has dealt her cards
For a game I cannot win
#DarkLines

Considering the headstone in silence, I whispered how did you die? My search now over, my brother found yet not as I remember

To what DARK PURPOSE
Did a FOOLISH SCENTED LETTER
& THORNY ROSE of red
Laid at my love's door
Hint at an extra marital TRESPASS

Deep within the heart
An ancient wisdom resides
Locked deep
A memory of times long past
That could be again
If we but knew the key
#madVerse

Unleashed upon the night's mercy
She was a vibrant living flame
To revel in such wanton decadence
Consumed in his salacious game
#DsubVerse

A lonely pilgrim
His blistered feet
Bloody footprints
Trailing a torturous path
In devout expression
Towards his saintly goal
#SenseWrds 215

Ghostly open the horizon
Sentinel spires watch o'er a silent land
A sharp rebuke visible to all
To warn against humanity's fall
#fieryverse

When tender buds burst to life
& Winter no more cuts like a knife
Then in vibrant hues
Shall Nature clothe her virgin self
#writtenriver

Exploding from her earthen cage
Nature fountains in liquid exultation
Cascading droplets
To celebrate in foamy profusion
#DimpleVerse

Cloaked in gentle velvet
Glittering stars grace the heavens
While far beneath
In the calm & quiet
I weave my secret dreams
#writtenriver 914

Strangers in the night
Neath shining stars
We met
Saw something in the other
Ephemeral
Raw
It captured us
Just for a moment
#SenseWrds 216
...
With just a gentle gossamer touch
Slowly stroking the length of an arching spine
I murmured my surrender
As he whispered my name
#DsubVerse
...
With a damsel's cry
A knight so bold
Swore his chivalrous vow
To rescue this maiden
As his dying king
Sought mystical salvation
#PoemTrail

A seductive lure
It calls 2 me
Whispers my name
With an offer 2 feed
Drawing me in
Bound by blood
Falling into your crimson abyss
#DarkLines

A lonely traveller upon the road
Searching 4 he knew not what
Unknowing the perfect pearl he sought
Always awaited him at home

A bud in bloom
Warmed by the sun's love
She blossoms
Yet swift
Sudden
In jealous rage
The hoar frost
Cages her vibrant display

Beneath the unholy mountains
Where the sun paints red the barren earth
A haunting presence awaits
With a pitiless blank stare

Give me a reason
He prompted
Silken promise a subtle threat
And from the shadows
A flame flickered to life
As she confessed all
#DsubVerse
...
A dynasty fallen into ruin
Their velvet n steel rule
Destroyed
From their ashes so cruel
Ignites a firestorm
& a land won by fools
#madVerse

Tattered remnants
All that remain
Threadbare memories
Barely even a name
Lost in time
One by one
Shadows fading
'Til all R gone
#fieryverse

Perhaps you've heard
Maybe not
Rumours mischievously fly
No one can tell
What's right or wrong
Or even stop to ask why?
#VerseAngel

Drifting away
Untethered
She lay herself down
Amidst strewn lilies
Dusty petals
Falling
One by one
She whispered goodbye
And fell
#DarkLines

Let's take a walk
BEYOND THE PINES
2 where the river flows
Leave our TANGIBLE GHOSTs behind
2 the mercy of a MISTY CRYSTAL BALL
#DimpleVerse

I'm a slave to U
Yr scent
Yr touch
2 the madness that U bring
The rush of desire
The drenching passion
& everything in between

Silent stealth
Prowling the shadows
Patiently stalking his prey
Flowing like water
Through the trees
Before the dawning day
#SenseWrds 218

With an undimming light
She flourished in hope
Her belief in herself
Her world
Unflagging
A spirit so strong
To never B crushed

From passion's crimson shade
To desire's uninhibited noir
Each seduces the senses
Sheathes the mind

THE PROMISE sworn
He paused
His eyes upon THE CROSSING
PLAYING WITH FIRE
& humourless Fate
COMETH THE HOUR
Would she be here?
#DimpleVerse

Keep your eyes on me
On none other
I'll be what you desire
Give unto you
In carnal submission
That which you urgently need

I sense their eyes on me
Measuring
Devouring
Yearning to touch
Their straining desires leashed
Chained
Begging to be freed

Unravelling strands
One by one
Truth
Now a silent corpse
Dashed upon the floor
Time has run out
And so has your luck

My loyal white knight
Who in the stormy tempest that is my life
Swore his ardent faith upon bended knee

If you allow your feet
To follow the path
Neither faltering
Nor losing your way

Upon the crow of the ****

To measure the passing of time
Upon these patient silent sentinels

Pure magic danced in the heavens
Weaving her spells along the way
While all below
In wondrous disbelief
We gazed & knelt 2 pray

How shall a man's worth be measured?
In his words or by his deeds?
And shall your's be measured
Upon how you think to answer?

One Winter eve
A long time ago
When night fell too soon
Followed by snow
All was silent
As if waiting
Beneath the shining moon
#fieryverse

Wild uninhibited fire
Senses inflame
A conflagration of promise
Burning bright in my eyes
Desire sparks ablaze
As I lose control

Mute
Tho they've tongues 2 speak
Blind
Tho they've eyes 2 see
Indifferent
They only stand & watch
After all
What will be

Amidst a plethora of lies, she stumbled upon one truth
#hangtenstories
...
When his world crushed down
A burden he could accept no more
She came
The tinder to his spark
An ember that sprung forth
To lighten the dark
...
To fife and drum
Onward they marched
Rebel gray
Union blue
Bitter depths
Brothers in blood
Taking a side
Now brothers in feud
#TastyPoem
...
He was the bitter pill
The stone in my shoe
The storm cloud on my horizon
And whatever the cost
I'd just have to pull through
#SableSwanV

Prayers
Softly whispered
Beside candles
Warmly aglow
Illuminating the corners
Where shadows will not go
#VerseAngel
...
Touch me here
If U dare
Brand your name
Say a prayer
Drown my senses
Flood my mind
Deliver my dreams
Tangled up
Forever entwined
#DsubVerse

All four seasons
Rolled into one
The essence of you
Is Summers warmth
Winters ice
Autumns glow
And Springs refreshing birth
#DimpleVerse

Unwilling to face the truth, she didn't ask the question
#hangtenstories

Chaos reigns
Rage burns
A 1,000 throats scream as one
Frantic eyes
In hopeful search
Entreat the gods
"halt what has begun"
#SenseWrds 221

Sorrow came in waves
Each a ravaging blow
Tearing at my defences
Breaking down my walls
Immersing my soul
Quenching my flame
#TastyPoem

Did I take you for granted?
Thinking always you would be there
A faithful voice at my side
Now an empty space
A dream squandered

Mystical veil
Oh part for me
Allow my eyes
Your secrets to see
Mysterious lover
In soft moonlight
Goddess I beg you
Hear my plight

Scattered dreams
Crumbling ruins
Lives once lived

Her faith

Her belief
A weapon she bore
Fire would be her reward

Adorned in starry ropes of pearls
Bewitching moon thrilled minds
Unleashed desires bound free
This kiss
A madness

Creeping mist
Ethereal veil
Silent figures
A slow rising dawn
Ghostly silhouettes
In somber attire
Lost in memories
Of a love
Now expired

As if from afar
I watched myself
Heard the words I spoke
Their emotional depth
I was my own ghost
The conscience I denied

Her veiled gaze radiating secrets
Bewitching lusting voyeurs
A flick of a wrist
Twitch of curvaceous hips

He was a comet
Soaring across the heavens
She was a star
Struck by moonbeams
Together they dazzled
Outshining the jealous sun

Sunshine hues
Scattering gems
She laid a vibrant trail
In radiant streams
& beneath her Midas touch
We each followed our dreams

Would he come?
Could she wait?
Tortured by a ticking clock
It's harsh condemning face
Slow lecturing hands
In weary disapproval

Bonds of love severed
Farewell my friend
Guardian of dreams
May the soul of the wolf
Be heard in the nightsong
When a heart breaks

Born of nightmares
Nurtured hell
A mind warped in terror
Too scared 2 tell
Shadows twist
Slip n slide
Creeping closer
Run n hide

Every day
A little harder
Each task
A little longer
My steps
A little slower
My energy

Virgin territory
Awaiting discovery
Steamy sensuality
Curious eyes
Slumberous with desire
Watch U explore

Silent tormentors in the night
They come to steal my peace
My restless conscience
Battle weary
Surrenders without a fight

I turned a corner
& you slipped away
Leaving a space
So silent & empty
I miss you
Every day

Tug on that thread
Gently unravel my world
Tumble my thoughts

Seasons turn
And the World passes slowly by

Side by side
To face what comes
Simply you and I

Aching sorrow

As a serpent slithering
Choking my heart
Those wistful memories
Of a time before
Haunting me

Uncrushed by war

Her steely resolve
The armour
Relentlessly she wore

I wouldn't
I couldn't
I'd come so far
I knew it was wrong
My conscience pricked
Behind me only fear

The day you came
When the sun rose high
Shedding light & warmth
Into my darkest corners
That wonderful perfect day

Our passion burned too hot
Our conflagration unstoppable
In a pyre of hungry desire
& all that is left?
This warming afterglow

When the music takes hold
I let myself go
Surrendering
Throw myself into the stream
And float where the rhythm bears me

Fate brought us here
But which to go?
The path so easy
Where roses bloom?
Or the way strewn with thorns?
Laden with doom

There shall we linger upon the stairs
And whisper our love
To the silent stones

A lost lonely road
Unknown 2 many
But those without souls
An abandoned waif
Easy prey

Hot crimson promise in blood
A serpent writhes in demonic need
Upon our dark magic

Seductively whispers my name
Luring me closer 2 my fall

Devouring all
He hunts within the shadows
Prowling the maze that is my mind
He waits and bides his time

Every second that once was my own
Now owned by this cold dictator

Aching to take that step
Just one foot in front of the other
Into the unknown

Scattered amongst the stars
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Reach 4 a moonbeam
Soar 2 the skies

My BESPOKE TOUCHABLE lover
Designed just for me
His KISSABLE lips
Vowing seductive wordless love
As we joyously TRANSCENDED
#DimpleVerse
...
Her walls promised sanctuary
A haven from the hellish storm
To exhausted eyes
Wordlessly pleading succour
She offered heaven
#SenseWrds 227
...
We were shadow creatures
Without corporeal form
Dancing in synchronised perfection
Upon a lonely bedroom wall
#ElixirPoetry
...
He was like the battered fedora he still wore
A timeless classic that still looked good
No matter how bloody the night would turn
#madVerse
...
Soft promises barely heard
Whispered upon yearning flesh
His tender lips worshipped
And devious tongue lapped
As honey flowed
#DimpleVerse
...
Is this how it would be?
One cold morning bleeding into the next
Without your warm body beside me
This ice creeps slowly forward
#VerseAngel
...
Down 2 the sea
Shall we 1 day go
2 glide upon gilded shores
Our steps in passing leaving shadows
Swept away on an incoming tide

Thank you for your poetic heart
Expressed Lady Winters Tale
Many beautiful words expressed
With grand spirit

As my mind fragmented
Locked within imaginary walls
Silence screamed in jubilation
A chaotic serenade to my fall
#ElixirPoetry
...
Silence fell like a shroud
The very air held its breath
As if in watchful anticipation
Of the predator prowling
From the mist
#ElixirPoetry
...
''Twas a battle he could not win
As wolves scenting blood
They'd closed in
Demanding he acquiesce
Bury his pride
Kneel & die
#ElixirPoetry
...
An unspooling film seeming without end
A dark narration of the watching man's life
It bled in colours noir to bleed upon the floor
#darktale
...
With false smiles cloaking empty eyes
This hollow world echoes without substance
As lips spill meaningless words and promises
#ShapePoetry
...
Thunderheads gather high in threat
Boiling skies that growl & roar
Sink to yr knees
Hope & pray
That U will survive this day
#SenseWrds 228

He was an ABSOLUTE CAPTIVE
Slave to the ARDOR his BELOVED inspired
Within him PULSEd desires
INSCRIBED by love upon his heart
#DimpleVerse

How do I love thee
When you are with another
Hers to keep
To have and hold
Not mine
Tho once you were
Long ago
When I had a heart
#HeartWrds
...
Spin me away
Lost in your arms
Upon this sanded floor
We sway as one
Gliding on air
Slaves to the rhythm
On a night of serenades
#TastyPoem
...
Is it an elusive yet heady scent
Or the soft purr of husky words
The temptation of lashed eyes
Promising unearthly seduction
#IntrigueVerse
...
Ruby tinged lips
Moan prayers heavenward
While a salacious tongue sips sweet nectar
Fists tighten in sheet clenching desperation
#DsubVerse
...
One sugar cube
Yet it made strangers laugh
& laughter turned 2 love
Who knew
Back then
The way I took my coffee
Would bring me U
#madVerse

Open yr senses
As windows thrown wide
2 a world of wonder
Awaiting U outside
Listen 2 yr heart
Fly free
Soar above
Just U & me

FLINT struck the spark

She watched
She waited
She desired more than a kiss

Ethereal floral scents
Drifting upon the air
Drew her unhesitating
Lured her mind to surrender
As time unravelled in an instant

Addicted 2 your touch
Your scent
Your voice
I crave your teasing
Hungry 4 more
Counting the hours
Desire elevating
Blood heating

As Death played a funeral dirge
4 the STORM BREWING in his eyes
FERVOUR a blazing light within
He chose to walk a PERILOUS path

Lost beneath Cimmerian skies
Where days become lost in Stygian gloom
Desperate men
Stealth in shadows
Assassins born to kill

Winter's icy tenacious grip
Loosens reluctantly upon the land
Tender shoots
Birthed by Nature
Yearningly unfurl under the sun

Succulent flesh
Ripe
Enticing
Beckoned in ruby temptation
Poisonberries in abundance
Hunger undeniable
She shrugged
Took a chance

May this incandescent candle, always aflame, lead you safely home

When blood & ink conspire
Spilling upon history's virgin page
Unsealed wounds
Raw emotions
Sting like acid
& angels cry in despair

Incandescent with ancient rage
Visceral needs tore
Sliced
Releasing such blind savagery
No depth of blood would quench

Lost n alone
Abandoned by life
She stared at a future in shadow
Her vacant gaze
Without energy or spark
Waited for another blow

A bittersweet BRIEF ENCOUNTER
As Summer's LOVE IN EXCESS
Turns thru Autumn n Winter to dismay
& SPRING's ELUSIVE SCENT blooms

Layer by layer
With each passing day
Reveals new depths
My shields peeled away
All of me
I give to you
Respect my gift

Tempted by beckoning stars above
Icarus dreamed of soaring high
A chrysalis shedding his fleshy cage
He would one day fly

Strident dischord ruptured the night
Raucous laughter flayed our senses
Demons crawled just out of sight
Always probing defences

Winter's dawn spills slowly
Her pale glow
Hesitant upon the horizon
Draws back the night
Unveiling a fresh new day

He gazed
Enraptured
Lost in her beauty
This sensual sorcery
Spun from dreams
Evoking the elements
Of mysterious mystical desire

Queen of fire
Mistress of flame
Burning brighter than any sun
She dazzled
Beguiled
Held the universe in hypnotic sway

A drug like no other

Addicted beyond reason

Ferocity tempered by beauty
She prowls within his soul
Her strength gives him bite
The will to stand

Something precious

Ethereal wisps
Barely seen
Glittering treasure
Coveted by all
Awaiting discovery
Capture

Blood soaked

A smoke filled cafe
On the dark side of town
Where the bourbon was cheap
& as raw as the memories
Choking him like a noose
#VerseAngel

No matter how hard I try
Nor how far I go
Yr words still haunt
A wraith at my shoulder
The persistence of memory
A burden borne

Behold such beauty in divine creation
As dawn slips from the arms of night
A stir of echoes is heard
In a sweet birdsong aubade

The heavens weep upon the land
Their tears a veil of sorrow
Good winds of fortune
Blow sure and strong
Quench the storm inside

Turn once
Turn twice
Turn around my son
This life we live
But a top spinning in time
So precarious
To the winds of fortune

RECKLESS FREEdom beckons
Across a RIVER wide
In which PEBBLES lie waiting
To bruise the tender feet
Of the CRAZY & UNDAMMED

Then to day once more
I breathe
& the world spins on
Without need for me
For You
Or any other
We simply R

Blood tears
Fresh from my heart
In sorrow do flow
Wreathing my neck
In crimson ribbons
As I stand
Watching you go

His howl wrote the song
Weaving a somnolent mystery
My heart seduced
No lyricist could do more
& I fell 4 his lupine witchery
#DimpleVerse

The witching hour
Come round at last
Time to raise this veil of haunting
Let loose the demons within
To devour the sleeping land
#DarkLines

Lured by his sonorous tone
Succumbing without caution
I languidly my life farewell
No doom could be more sweetly languorous

Stolen fragments in time
These broken moments treasured
Rare & precious
Miserly hoarding the minutes
& counting the hours apart

Such masterful pleasure
Bestowed with a leather kiss

Razor tipped fingers snatch
Pulling me under

In consuming suffocation

In sacrificial immolation

A sister or two
A single gass slipper

Winters kiss
Harshly bestowed

We search for light

Long gone

Darkness comes
A silent assassin
Stealing across the land
Winters kiss
A satanic benediction
To crush sweet Mother Nature

Another day closer to my dream
The aspiration I strive to achieve
As I transcend ever higher

Wicked pleasures
Seductively addictive

Twisted around
Set free at last

Lay a burning deception
His LION HEART feared

Take flight

Two parts of a whole
They breathed as one
Through one
Ran the life blood
Of the other

A gentle breeze
Tranquil serenity amidst country flowers

Serenaded by bees

Precious artifacts

Voices long faded
All that is left

A quagmire of deception
With no way out
I turned my back
Waded in deeper

Demanding gold

Rumours spill like wine
Poured by an intoxicated hand
To poison the most innocent mind
Seeping whispers that cannot B stemmed

Enthralled

Held by her vulpine gaze
She beckoned
I followed
Her bite felt but a graze

Heavy with desire
Our tongues met
Conversing without words
What we dared not speak
Our lips did vow

One more whisky
On one more night

His was a memory
I couldn't forget
His touch
His taste
A dark addiction

Twenty lucky leprechauns
Gyrating in emerald profusion
Sprinkling stardust and shamrocks

Sealed in blood
We take the field
We man the wall
To face the foe
In fearsome warpaint daubed
To make our stand
