As a girl, I imagined a place to be
Sprinkled in stardust, where grassy skies rotate
A pirate nymph, commanding the purple sea
Leaping unicorns across a rainbow gate
A lush kingdom of color and harmony
Of horizons unbroken, of dreams ornate
Now, I wander my glen of nostalgic wood
Rebuilding the...

The sandman will take pause and say a prayer
Then reach in to his special bag of sand
And with a sweeping motion of his hand
Bright glitter colored stardust fills the air

It falls to bring a dream beyond compare
Where castles in the sky are gold and grand
A...

Some memories of silver sands,
have faded like old photographs.
But waves rush in to ponder on, 
incoming tides of happiness.

Our shadows left upon the ground,
are looking for a sea-shell found,
and kites sail high upon the wind,
to take us back, just once again

We'd dig the sand, to...

Everything 
passes. Poets
die, their
names fade away, 
their lost graves blend in
with nature.
Only
beautiful
airy 
castles of 
poetry 
remain in all their
reality, and no
wind
will blow them away.

How many sands have you counted
building castles near the shoreline
which the sea washes away
before the day is done?

Alas, you build them 
again and again
unmindful of the winds
raging around you:
The waves roaring over the sands
blasting away your dream castles

Before your hands could shape
the towers in your...

Cotton candy castles

When you look closely at an idea,
it has no weight.
The holes seem to weigh
more than the thought itself
The idea can never happen.
It can never be real.
It is too preposterous,
too stupid.
The light is shined into
the cavity of a brain, and
the ideas melt away like
bits...

Brick upon each brick I build
As I stack heavy stones one by one
Sweat and tears, love and fears
To create an earthly castle under the sun.

Damages by hurtful weather come,
Ravages against a fortress that was strong
With scrapped knees and promised pleas,
I feel defeated, do you hear...

Sandcastles built upon a pristine beach are a marvel to behold,
  
   With much pride taken by the architect to design and mold!

But, alas, this fragile work of art is destined to be savagely razed

   By the inexorable creep of...

I hear the rustling of the trees
Echoes of knights riding on the breeze
Sent from the castle in the clouds
Trying to calm the baying crowds.
In that Camelot high above
Kingdom of the god of love
The evil of man puts him to the test
His tormented angels cannot rest...

All the castles
I'd longed to see,
Will never stand
In front of me

All the knowledge
I have gained,
All the emotions,
I have feigned

And now real love
To make me cry
I lie in bed,
I wonder why...

It seems unfair,
But such is life,
I've suffered much,
As with an unfaithful wife

Those castle walls
Will long outlive...

Children so carefree

Laugh while castles made of sand

Topple in the sea-

How soon shattered dreams may bring

Teardrops of maturity.

Upon a beach I came to stand
And watched a child at play. 
He did while playing in the sand
A point of life convey. 

With scoops and buckets he did build 
A structure tall and grand. 
And to the child the beach did yield 
A castle...

Sand dunes lay upon the desert floor
 graceful ridges , mountains high
tempting the fool to build his house
on sweeping curves in constant motion.....a ship adrift on a stormy ocean
 throwing caution to the wind.

Swirling specks as they do fly....filling nostrils, blinding the eyes.
Here a face....castles...

You told me back when I was young,
That before we both grew
Old,
One day we'd live inside a mansion
Full of all the richest
Gold.
You said you'd give me diamonds, and write my 
Name up in the sky
You said you knew it looked bad now,
But one day we...
