You are not a castle
and I am no queen.
I have placed my heart
upon a dream
a dream that no longer lives.
You are not a knight
Not my savior
not my right,
only a dream
A far away dream
of a castle and a queen.
You are not a prince
Nor I a fallen maiden,
hushed by a kiss
upon a fallen raven
to be a dream
A far away dream
of a castle and a queen.
You are not a castle
and I am no queen.
I have placed my heart
upon a dream,
A dream of you
That no longer lives.
smiles. a bit sad...when you build your hopes on a dream...particularly one that wont become a reality...

Lovely, sad but so often what happens in the cycle of love
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
Sad but that is exactly what happens to many a castle and queen when we expect one to be our knight...love the meter in the poem...thank you...bkm
ReplyDeleteIntense!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed what all it said in simple words- yet expressing all emotions within..
Great One Shot!
Love xoxox
Sad piece, vivid pains of letting go of the dream and transforming into a less reality. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAahh.. I hear sadness in this one, Laura... and I hear some wistfulness too...
ReplyDeleteBut with your words, you have expressed it so beautifully, my dear.. so lucid.. so vivid...
Very nice!
It's sad...feels like a recognition hard won. I like the rhythm, the repeating line.
