Castles
QUOTE: "And so castles made of sand, slip into the sea, eventually." by Jimi Hendrix.
As the queen of all your castles,
I couldn't love you more.
Prove me wrong.

DAILY GRATITUDE CASTLES IN THE SAND
Today I’m grateful for the knowledge…the ability to understand
that I don’t need money or anyone’s permission
to build a castle in the sand.

Cardboard Castles
Cardboard Castles
You came in like thunder—
wild, loud, and sharp with flame.
Eyes like chaos, smile like fire,
never still, and never tame.
We shared a bed when we were small,
built kingdoms out of pillow forts.
You held my hand in quiet dark,
and we survived in whispered sorts.
But life came fast, and you let go—
chose smoke and speed, the chase,

Building castles in the sky.
Some call it a fool's paradise.
It is my eutopia.
I choose to dwell in the clouds.

Castles in the Sky
When life’s been pillaged of calm
I yearn for welcome release
Somewhere far beyond life’s qualms
To know solace and deep peace
I build castles in the sky
Where I retreat now and then
I build castles in the sky
But I never move in
I go there to think and pray
Where no one can breach a thought
A safe place to steal away
And

Castles of yesterday
I am dawn
rusty like a ribald blade
You stole my castles without release
I didn't have the standard and logo
to catch on today
The Iceman has left the scene
and I count my loss
then thrumpted it with holes
Launcelot drew at the vue
still working out the time
and counted the dusty envelopes
of the day
Don't blame me if my words aren't fulfilled
to

Building castles: A Snowflake Poem
Swirling, twirling
Crisp and white,
It’s a snowflake
Kind of night…
Crystals shimmer
By moonlight,
Building castles
Till daylight…

Sandcastle Dreams
We built our kingdom of sand and dreams
A fortress of shells and seaweed streams
We dug our moat with buckets and spades
And prayed the tide would not invade
Our walls were high our towers tall
But storms came and watched them fall
The sea devoured our sandy home
Leaving us stranded feeling alone
Gone are the days of carefree play
Building castles

Blue Marker Castles
I’ve always had the sneaking suspicion I’d never grow old.
I mean, when I was younger, I scribbled plans in a notebook.
Drew clumsy castles with blue marker and proclaimed loudly
that I’d own one one day.
But when you’re a kid, “old”’s just around your twenties,
miles away from that wooden gym floor and your friends
sitting criss-cross applesauce

Castles
In the old days
castles were built from sturdy solid rock
with arrow loops for arrow protection
and curvilinear structures irregular to the eye.
They were built with survival in mind
appearing uniform grey from a distance
but up close like a monument of
mosaic humble rocks.
Castles were built to outlast
