Castles

Castles



Medieval towns, the citadels,
as fortified large ornates fascinate,
Engulfed my flaming true passion
that still echoes inside huge walls,
Sound of glittering brave swords
that took to a cowardly deceit,
Condemned moonlight
as we met used to greet,
Midnight shadows over walls of castles
now are lost in ghostly fleet,

Like a horrid dream 
that makes my heart bleed,
Castles are a history
as lingers my life in plead,
Silky pearl white gown stained in red,
Clouds of long hair left to shred,
Emotionless eyes that only stare,
Cruel men in hues of red painted scare,

In name of honor for the race,
My true love was called a disgrace,
Corpses these dominating walls could capture
as souls serene floated in enrapture,
In era of humanity I wish to be born again,
when race, color and religion castles will slain !

———-


That place, these secrets 
Harbors more than a majestic face, 
Captive, breathtaking enchanted beams 
Silver light waits down each hallway 
The eyes of men -prey- preyed on castle walls 
Vengeance broke the silence, 
as true love was met by fate, 
-under a bleeding lune. 
Loud wails come from despair 
Dragon statues look up to the flames 
Passion perfectly preserved.

Blood feuds between villages 
Tunics distinguished by color 
Selfish toxins in the bloodstream 
Confession of the sins 
Green eyes full of dreams 
Lanterns lead each path 
Every page is torn until no more 
Beauty ignored by the dark.

Gems of honor, heal each plea 
A love story paved with a wrench 
light twinkles wisps through the rocks 
Beyond enchanted blocks, 
Coat of Arms rises to guard these ground 
Love conquers all when united.
