A SHADOW IN THE WIND

 

The castle sits in the woods.

Memories fill its walls.

Echoes of laughter

vibrate the still air.

Whisps of smoke float 

between the trees.

A transparent shadow

settles beside me,

with a tap on my shoulder,

a sigh in my ear.

With a wistful smile, I say,

“Goodbye, my love.

We’ll be together again soon.“

KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED

splendiferoushoney: by Martin at hipydeus

The past calls.

A past filled with parties.

Balls held at the castle.

Dancers in the moonlight.

Close your eyes.

A carriage waits for you.

You arrive at the castle.

Footmen escort you.

You ascend the staircase,

wearing your new ball gown.

A man leads you to the dance floor.

Close your eyes.

Yes, it is a dream.

Keep your eyes closed,

and sway to the music.

SPIRITS WALK

mortisia

Inside Edinburgh’s castle. Scotland 

A castle where spirits walk.

Darkness hides in corners.

Old fragrances float in the air.

Shadows follow without footsteps.

And sighs fill the empty spaces.

CASTLE IN THE SKY

CASTLE IN THE SKY

The castle in the sky,
Oh my, oh my, oh my.
I want to go there.
Let free my long hair.
Water flows by my feet,
Such a miraculous feat.
A violin at my feet, 
But the water appears deep.
As it parts for me.
I walk through the sea.
The castle in the sky.
Oh my, oh my, oh my.

FANTASY

FANTASY

I dream of a place

Where time stands still.

Petals fly from trees,

A pink hue cast on all.

Climb the stairs to the castle,

Where fantasies come to life.

The warm breeze carries music

On swirling rainbows of light.

Pretty maidens dance in circles

Around the courtyard of flowers.

Men become drunk on giggles

And hide away in their towers.

Who is the ruler of this paradise?

It is I, the dreamer of dreams.

 

DESERTED CASTLE

A castle where spirits walk

Darkness hides in corners

Vintage fingerprints smudge the walls

Old fragrances float in the air

Shadows follow without footsteps

And sighs fill the empty spaces

PINK FANTASY

PINK FANTASY

I dream of a place
Where time stands still.
Petals fly from trees.
A pink hue cast on all.

Climb the stairs to the castle,
Where fantasies come to life.
The warm breeze carries music
On swirling rainbows of light.

Pretty maidens dance in circles
Around the courtyard of flowers.
Men become drunk on giggles
And flirty stares cast their way.

Who is the ruler of this paradise?
It is I, the dreamer of dreams.

WELCOME TO OUR CASTLE

Welcome to our castle.

Not to be a hassle

But please knock on the door.

It will open for you and more.

Step inside and join our party.

Everyone eat hearty

Until midnight strikes doom on the head.

All will be gone except for The Dead.

DARK THOUGHTS

1. WATCH THE NIGHT

   The clouds circle around.

   Bringing the moon closer.

   Lighting up the windows.

   Where faces watch the night.

LOCKED AWAY

Source:e-uropean

The castle is dark and dreary.

It holds dungeons and locked cells.

Prisoners hidden within its wall.

Captives in mind and soul.

Searching for freedom.

Searching for the light.

Let them out.

Ignorance is a mighty prison.

It keeps you in the dark.

Locked away from ideas.

Away from humanity and empathy.

Break out from your prison.

And see the world for the first time.
