Castle Desire The Darkness of Night Poem by onmyown Stand Your Ground Winter of the Soul |
Castle Desire  Nestled snugly in rolling hills, Gray bricks, caressed by ages Defy time and season, Await the return of king and his queen. Wild roses are confetti sprinkles, Await the day when entwined as crown Upon amber fire silken tresses Once again will hail her glory. Haunting ghosts of empty thrones Where with loyalty to crown and serf They ruled the valley side by side, Whisper, longing.... empty ache. Mighty sound splits the dusk sky wide, Rain washes, yet cannot erode, ancient brick, Green and flowers suckle hungry, Castles guards, firmly planted. On early wings of morning breeze Sun banishes twilight's angry clouds, Scent of berries and rain stirred clover The smell of centuries, the essence remains. Ancient castle bustles with newness, Damsel's tower; sweet sound of hungry chicks, Rodents scurry round relics of renaissance, Mangy dog now calls this home. Earth slowly still revolves, Seasons cast off old garments. Castle desire stands staunchly, Holding her ghosts; awaiting their return. Alexianna |
