Castle In the Sky

MOUNTAIN SKIES
 
I want to feel the mountain top. 
Kicking my last shadow to a complete stop. 
Swallowing the clouds in the sky
 
No one to get me down from this mountain high
A shallow grave I dug, when I feel the need to hide
A danger zone, where all UFO's collide 
 
Now, I found a sweet place, when no one is around 
High on this mountain, hidden in this castle, I cannot be found. 
Watching all that slithers from top to ground. 
 
The smile you once put on my face, 
Is now lost somewhere in the mountain trace
Finding myself paranoid without truly amazing grace. 
 
This out of balanced place, is drying up my cries
A boundary, beyond the castles and mountain of lies
One cherished memory of your hazel eyes
 
Somewhere near heaven's broken walls
No one but God, can hear my calls
My pain flows above mountain waterfalls. 
 
After trips,  I have fallen down 
Inside I feel as if only I own this ghost Castle town
No need to save me, from the moat when I drown
 
Just one last AIR BALLOON RIDE
Beyond the castle on every mountainside 
A kiss of death sealed up high
Far away from what I use to call, Cloud Nine
~Finding A New Castle In The Sky~

Interesting work..I hope just a topic and not really suicidal thoughts..Those mountain top experiences are great but we always have to come back down in the valley...I am glad that I chose this one to read today..I was delighted that you stopped by, read and found something that you could take from my work "Dad The Last Snowflake" and that you could enjoy...Sara

I'm hoping our Souper friend P D is not feeling any little bit of this darkness........just writing an expression of imagination. We are all caring and loving friends here, and you are usually one who makes me smile. This is an excellent piece, however. PS.........your kindness is always so appreciated PD. Thank you always for the friendship and support! Love, Carrie

Rejection--Ouch!! Many have experienced this despair that you capture so well. I would also like to thank you for your comment last week. Hazel eyes are very seductive, but it probably wouldn't have worked out in the long run. Good luck with your quest! I am old and wise, and you can contact me any time. I know how you feel, and it isn't fun.

My dear friend I have found your Poem extraordinary as for as the writing skill is concerned, but it shows a gloomy and dark side as well, where I see a different PD. Are you OK my friend? I would always prefer to see the original PD with her bold and strong writings full of confidence and fighting skills. I have placed a new poem. Hope you would like it. Love and best wishes for enjoying the beautiful season of Christmas festival....Ravindra...PD
