Castles Poem by Eloida Capuno

i always loved castles
they make me imagine
i'm a princess or a queen
with crown jewels and
flowing gowns

i build my own castles
and continue imagining
a kingdom where i am
the queen and i rule
and call the shots

in my world of castles
and imaginings you were
there acting out the part
of my prince charming
the love i cherish

but like the sand castles
swiped off by the raging waves
you disappeared bursting the
bubbles of my make believe
leaving me devastated
