Erased Memories

I once wore thoughts of you like a golden robe I held onto them like a king who never lets go of his scepter In my wildest dreams i built a castle upon a lofty hill and put your name there What a blissful palace it was! An architectural masterpiece and the definition of beauty But then nature become too jealous Before i realised it, The hurricanes came banging at my own door steps as though i was a convict of murder In a blink of an eye my beautiful castle was in ashes The violent winds tore my golden robe in infinite pieces Nature stripped me of my treasure  As though it was not enough time crept in and erased all my memories of you without asking for permission. Despite such a painful experience my artistic ability has grown stronger. And Am now building another castle whose foundation are the eagle's wings.

Very nice, Cp. Beautiful, yet sad. However, a castle "on eagle's wings" sounds so promising. Congrats on your 1st poem here. Hope to read many more and if I can be of any help let me know. I like proofreading and editing as well as collaborating. Carole Duet
