I could see right thru the fortress' walls, I knew what they enclaved Beaten by an ocean full of canary-yellow waves They glistened like the stars reflected from a moon-lit sky Scattered like a million diamonds, it's beauty; mesmerized   Tho seaweed dark as forest green did fill the ocean floor Both translucent, & befuddling   I could only wish to explore For I have never seen a castle rest in a sea of grime   & with its image now engraved Forever in my mind!   & tho it's walls we're callous; thick I thought it could still work If only I had persisted   (Instead, I went berserk...) But is love not an incendiary? For those who've gone insane? & so it's best to resist the urge-- Your heart you must contain!
