Sometimes

I sometimes forget
That my words 
Face foreclosure
When they run at the 
Alabaster face of your castle .
And sometimes,  
i dream that these words
storm the portcullis  
Burn the barricades
bring the walls down
Camelot falls

But the truth Is 
most days
These words, this heart, falls short
And drowns in the  shallow moat
Outside your door.
