NIGHTMARE CASTLE
Through all the forgotten castles of my mind,stands
This one,
I readily go there,all the time,halls and more halls
Of cold emptiness there and pain.Its my domain.
I don't need to build another one,is already here, always
Being there in my head,
So old,starting to fall apart now, like a dark angel at
One time,
Through the ravishes of unforgiven times, now is decaying
Starting from inside, I feel the coldness cutting deep.
It's alive.
There are drafts freezing cold, coming from everywhere,
I taste them, I feel them in my bones, on my naked flesh
But I can't touch them, I can't see them,
Or cover them with any plaster or my single wish,
But they're there, alright, cold, like angry claws
scratching and squeezing my very soul and breath.

Smilesz. now that i read this again, it reminds me of my poem Old Ghosts..hehe. Not sure if u had read it yet, dorian...but if u havent, and would like to, pls do. Quite related to this nightmarish poem of yours. ;)
Dorian, Very descriptive poem of a very spooky, dark place! Reminded me of my Poncho Men; they're the scary monsters I dream about when I feel scared, vulnerable, or threatened. Your nightmare castle sounds like a place they would like very much and would probably live in. Thanks for sharing this one.
NIce title...suits the theme very well. i read somewhere..that the landscapes of our dreams (or..dreamscapes).are conjured by what we perceive of our lives...darkness for sad things in our lives...and bright sunshine for cheerful stuff. i get to see my castle too ...sometimes.And yeah, it's pretty spooky too...but it got a lawn or something. Thanxs for sharing, Dorian.
I really love it! Very descriptive as is interesting! A really cool idea here!
