Silent, the Castle Doors

********************************************************************************

Stillness held the flower, in distant gazes spilling from their palms...

A cats meow, resounding atop timeless rafters; peering at the stage

About a sixteenth century romance; dramatica, close the castle door

Hush the crowd betwixt breath they keep; frozen in this their heart

As Juliet lifts her tearful blade and Romeo's love, now fast asleep; dreams

Not weep as time does part to gather once more; aneath these stars...

Interesting lines. Going adrift though may not be so sweet for the sea can get quite rough and swallow you. Thank you for your comments on my poem. Caroline.
