Short Castle In The Air Poems

Castle in the air
In esteemed royalty
Treasures and treasured
Table embroided delicacy
For all and sundry
And a life of a thousand years
Wilds as pets, lions of course
A queen, a rare beauty..
Magic and power
All at my beck and call.
A different castle out of this 
world.
A community of change.


My thought returned
Here am I on my bed.

I want to dream a dream
I want to make a castle 
in the air........

I want to have a hot kiss 
on your forbidden rosy lips
I want to take a hot coffee
in a downtown restaurant 
of Toronto with you......

I want to walk side by side 
with you in the Woodbine  beach
I want to be lost with you
in an unknown destination.....

I have right to dream 
to make a castle in the air........

Xanadu?
Wishful thinking?
Are you
an illusion?
Castle in the air
phantasy?
Tell me
if there are
answers
to my dream-
that this world
will soon recover-
be normal once again

His voice like thunder, booming out his threats, 
the stamping ogre towered, broad and square;
the trembling, sobbing woman prayed and begged -
I saw no pity in the monster's glare...
and hid. A knight, afraid of fighting fiends! 
Ashamed, I rushed at him, without a care.
The giant, nostrils flared, took off  at speed,
returning to his castle in the air.
