Notes About The Poem

       

A Kingdom In Need of Ruling

Amidst forest sheath, shelters a castle once coppice
Yielded promises once kept now relinquished roughness
Shadows lace the ferns, cracks, and emboss moss; orchestral 
Pieces crawl upon the ancestral stone castle walls
Noiseless dark and foreboding hypnotic mistral wind 
Surround and bound my realm of one with one and all blind

Ought I, beget this magical slumbering beauty
Verdant tapestries would flourish my solemn duty
Sovereignty thereof my own medieval kingdom
Beauty in its grandeur, brandish domains sublime rhythm
Kingdom undivided ruled with integrity
Capture back what had been once blessed with its legacy


Days would chuckle with praise of honeysuckle sunlight
Rewriting freedom like the ocean waves move to bite
Bathed in the light will flourish enjoying the harvest 
Overflowing wealth of golden fields, rivers, harnessed
Gardens comfort lambent skies through nourishing seasons
In my  reign;  doors open welcoming to the region

Beautiful imagery, Eve. Is this for the contest of Silent One? If so, you really did a unique take on it!

Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination laced with fanciful thoughts of castles and days of old. Emile.
