Castle of the Wasteland

This castle my keep
bound imprisoned in my endless sleep
cast then thy gaze upon me and despair
across the barren wastelands of tundra
hear my eternal mantra
"..better to rule..than to serve"
In this hollow place
stand I in this mocking light
meanest thou to bend me to thy will
Father of forgotten rites
Thy will be done
in all but one
Cast out but not ashamed
Do I care who is to blame
Taunt me then with your pultry light
Freedom won in this flight
Can you now guess my name?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
