I Capture the Castle
Atop battlements her fortress stands
Deep, dark, and alone
A stone facade conceals her glittering heart
Sleepily watching the advance
Stoic face towards the misty dawn
Icy manticles grasp sharp edges
Sitting silently on a carpet of green
Carpet frozen to ice
White covers blanket-like in the storm
Still she waits, winking at the stars
sent to accompany the dreary night
Deep within the fortress walls
I watch safe from the tower atop the turret
Wind blowing my hair, cold catching my breath
Watching the dark night settle on the land,
over the stretches of green
Now covered in blackness
they wait, a velvet carpet of ebony
Striding upon this velvet
Reflection off armour
So distant, yet so near
A dream faced with reality
Looks so real...
A hand shakes my shoulder
and I awake from my daydream
That figure materializes in front of me
then I realize what I'm seeing
Not a dream, but a reality
You are real...
I'm awake, and you're still here
Not foggy at all
Yet still that fantastical illusion of perception
Clouds my vision
Gentle shaking and it comes clear
Standing there, I see you
Smiling like you do
Words in my mouth melt away to non-exisitence
Leaving only you
