Magical Castle

I slightly stagger and stare up at the delicately decorated castle looming… in the bed of roses scattered among the tall grass… Taking my hand gently he lightly tucks a fly away daisy behind my ear… Hand in hand we slowly stroll up the cobblestone pathway toward the herd of laughter and music bursting at the seams… My smile reaches my eyes as we immerse in the wondrous festivities… I am lost in feel of the music and enchantment…that I almost miss the change in the scenery as he twirls and pulls me toward the dark shadows of the stone wall… Where is the crystal clear lake that I peered… at our arrival?… The scene is eerie…there is an element of danger… coming closer in the wind… I look up into his piercing blue eyes and am cut short… His stare is of lust and desire and of determination… Moving my long golden locks softly away from my long neck… he bestows a magical kiss… exquisite in itself… His strong hands bring me closer… as I melt into his embrace… filled with love and contentment I stay still… captivated by him...
