#poem, «To Build a Castle»

(Art Digital by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

To build a castle

all you need is time,

and you’ll build castles

in your mind…

-Fading colours,

white to grey,

friends were coming

but they’ve lost their way.

-Voices shouting,

music fades,

I was leaving,

but now I think I’ll stay.

-Footsteps coming,

loud and clear,

who can run

away from fear?

-Arms that hold me

muscles crush,

spirit’s power

gained from strength they’ve lost.

-Building castles,

with stones and blood,

where bones and nails

create dust and memories,

that fade when the morning sun

slips through the window,

the curtain has rotted away

where time and ghosts now play.
