Notes About The Poem

The Castle

Castle

many rooms
but there seems to be no room
for my affection for you
Inside.

But I built 

It's a castle 
a lofty, gauzy place
to keep my aspirations high
among clouds

It seems

my dream location 
Is enraptured in your arms
safe and sensual 
homey and content

during storms
lightning and lull

during gloomy clouds 
I watch my every move
I let the rain fall as 
facing the sky
soak me.
