A Castle of Temptation - Collab With Olive Eloisa Guillermo

 A CASTLE OF TEMPTATION - collab with JA Fraser

A CASTLE OF TEMPTATION

Proudly standing amidst three lochs, verdant hills
a Castle enciente breathing beauty but sadly chants 
passed feuds sparking battles having harried their foe
and it's demise caused by Frigates cannonball screams.

Colonel MacRae-Gilstrap rebuilds now redeemed:
stoned arch bridge supersede the sea highway flow, 
circular stairs and ceilings with coat of arms grants
changes made but its history today remains still

Tourists not deterred by ghost tales scary extreme
But await they exercise for imaginations to show
the setting, a romantic reincarnation that enchants
attracted lovers to celebrate their matrimonial thrill

Eilean Donan Castle in its stunning reachable location
pose the Western Highlands of Scotland a temptation.
