Morgana

Sorceress with a love so deep
Her heart entwined in night
First love of the Black Knight strong
Before shadows took their might

Held to her a tiny star
Encased in silver locket
Once a symbol of their bond
Now vengeance deep to pocket

Every eve at sunset's pause
Her eyes would cast a spell
A kingdom bright turned dark and cold
Into the licorice hell

Her kingdom once a place of joy
With water, game, and life
Turned to shadows, love turned pain
In vengeance and in strife

One road led among them
From the cavern’s holy ridge
Morgana weaved her magic dark
Above the cursed bridge

Tales of her were whispered
In the terror of the lands
Her beauty masked by bitterness
And the violence of her brands

Shattered dreams filled up her void
Tears shed for each curse calling
Darkness was her craft to weave
Each night her heart was falling

Skill and magic held her sway
For she who tempted fates
None but her could rule the dark
Her power locked the gates

Years of hatred fueled her fire
Her spells a deadly dance
Trespass none within her grasp
Vengeance her vile Lance

Sunlight shunned her final breath
Blood her nightly duel
Hers alone, this dark domain
Where sorrow was her fuel

No one knew her twisted schemes
What every night she’d spun
Lives the sorceress set to snare
As shadows’ chosen one

Morgana’s spell of darkest art
Ensured the Black Knight’s fall
Her love turned curse, her wrath so fierce
Infected one and all

Thus the land was steeped in night
Each tale a tragic thread
Morgana's vengeance wrought despair
And left the fields blood-red

Lady Camelot

A lover bound to darkness
Her fate sealed by the night
Taken from her true love's arms
By Black Knight's ruthless might

Held to her a tiny star
Encased in silver locket
Once a token of her love
Now deep in grief's own pocket

Every eve at sunset's pause
Her heart would mourn the light
A kingdom lost, her love's true face
Into the licorice night

Her kingdom filled with memories
Of water, game, and life
Daughtered by a dozen maids
The Queen of love, a wife

One road led among them
From the cavern's holy ridge
She dreamed of days where love would stand
Above the darkened bridge

Tales of her were whispered
In the sorrow of her lands
Her beauty marked by sadness
And the violence of his hands

Shattered dreams had filled the void
Tears shed for each calling
Darkness was the test she faced
Each night her heart was falling

Skill and honor held no sway
For she who tempted fates
None but death could rule her heart
Its price had locked her gates

Years of longing held her firm
The fires fled her dance
Trespass one within her dreams
Of Merlin her last chance

Sunlight filled her final breath
Blood her nightly duel
Hers alone, lost paradise
Where love was once her fuel

No one knew her silent pain
What every night had been
Lives the queen had set to mourn
In darkness, torn within

Lady Camelot, titles called
Her heart, a fragile art
Her life was lost to sorrow's grip
She died of broken heart

Oz

Ravens raptor mine Because
Broken silence from the Caws
Eating bits of reddened Raws
Greedy little bleedy Claws
Nice to need a little Pause
Never need to need Applause 
Need not needing Santa Clause
Could it be against some Laws
Hitting all the dirty Draws
Better not to break a Vase
Pick up packets full o Flaws
Grandpa laughing rich Guffaws
Snaps the metal in his Jaws
Dribbles out the Haagen Daws
Clicking old school Cameras
Playing out what never Was
Living lives of Ladeedahs
Ignoring any need for Gause
In the mighty makers Maws
Trees in slumbers snoring Saws

Ex Stream

Used, may be the marking
No worse for wear, is lied
But the boot was saddle broken
By the groomsman's darker side

Wreckage was that rainbow
Rolling hard from black to clear
Not a hint left on the sunrise
Dosn't mean the hell weren't here

At least not too long lasting
Snakes awake to justice cause
Heirlooms violent in their casting
Pre Ablutions for their paws

Retching vibes of subtle furies
Lovers beds in sync defiled
Pounds on these wicked worries
For what whom should be reviled

The past now bears an anchor
Chained up to history's tug
All the futures of love's dances
On the remnants of this rug

Shaking wrinkles from it's shadow
Look to sea and know the sun
But a warning from life's compass
To beware which waves you run

Fish

Fish one was oblivious
Fish two the believer
Fish three understood
Fish four a dreamer
Fish five took account
Fish six put to test
Fish seven calling out
Fish eight et the best

The Pirate Masterson


O'er every ocean
Our galleons make it home
Taking what is mine

Free, my crew and I
Sailing acrobates of sea
In our faith’s embrace

Tis looted treasure
Beyond value of just form
Endless in increase

Hear my jewels calling
Welcome Lord we are but yours
Chests to the bursting

Though all must I have
For sum my prize adorned
Into legends net

Know I come for yours
On horizons I am bound
Pirate Master's Son
