The Family Within The Castle

As she walks in the garden,
She allows her fingers
To brush the dew from the petals.

She feels a part of eyes
Burning through her bodice.
As she looks up she knows immediately
Who it is.

Her creepy uncle Fredrick.
There is a reason he is locked in that tower.
And she is glad that he is there!

As she continues in the garden
The bottom of her dress darkens
With the collection of more dew.

She happens upon the gardener.
He lowers his eyes
For he knows that she knows
That he is having an affair with her mother.

Going tired of the sexual perversion around her
She heads up the cobblestone walk to the castle.
Where she knows she can retreat to her room.

As she enters the castle,
she passes by her mother and father
Walking hand in hand
With the appears of the most perfect couple.

With a greeting and a secret sigh
She continues down the hall
And nearly runs into her brother
At the end of the winding marble staircase.

He roughs up her hair
And greets with in a masculine manner
However, she knows that he is on his way
To meet up with the Prince for a secret encounter.

On her way up the stairs
She hears the shreeks of her demented aunt.
With a husband like hers no wonder she is crazy.

Upon reaching her bedroom retreat
She opens the worn cover of her fairytale escape
And melts into her reality within the pages.

Only the beginning, 3 down, 4 to go with innumerably more who grace this place.

Through the mists of minds
In a parallel time,
I stumbled upon the gate.

A drawbridge of sorts,
Lifting with chuckles and snorts
Revealed a glow, which beckoned me in.

With an excited puppy wriggle,
And a few nervous giggles,
I happily scampered inside.

The medieval sight
Of a debonair knight
Blinded my senses to all else.

Then like magic he shifted,
“Abracadabra”, he wheezed in a whisper,
“feel free to explore at your whim.”

Then a door creaked
I looked up, as a face peaked
Through the iron railing above.

He howled with glee,
“Just to your right, you silly,
Climb those stairs and step up to me.

Or use your mind
If you don’t mind that type of exercise
And fly up, toot sweet!”

With no thought in my brain,
But to join him and maintain
My sanity ------

Whoooosh, up I went
Suspended in mid air
in front of him.

“How do I land?”
He laughed, “Just think stand!”
I did and my feet eased to the floor.

He said, “I’m D4,
Words and life, I explore,
Welcome to Castle Pen.”

Castle Pen? An odd name.
He then explained,
“We’re a family of writers.

We each have our oddities
As well as our specialties
And sometimes keep to our own den.

Hence, we are withheld
And released
Through some form of a pen.”

With a deep courtly bow,
He vanished and I wondered, “what now?”
Then entered the room he had left.

Ohhhh, my soul be blessed
I had entered a nest
Of pictures gracing the walls.

Graphic memories they stirred
And beneath them were words
Of a path walker’s attest.

Lost in a picture,
I barely heard a throat clear
And turned to look for the source.

A gentle smile under
Eyes filled with wonder
Met my startled gaze.

“Pray, do take a seat
Your heart’s discombobulated in beat,
As the pulse at your throat doth portray.

This“------with a wide sweep of his hand-----
“Is my Gallery and I’m DaveyB;
I think it the best in the land.”

“Have you been all these places
With these the outward faces
Of emotions held deeply inside?”

With a sharp look
and deep sigh
DaveyB slowly replied,

“I will tell you this,
You curious miss
Whose thoughts innocently pry.

If you look real deep
Inside this keep,
The master kiln’s man you’ll find.”

Goose bumps up my arms crawled,
As he leaned on and then faded into the wall;
“Oy vay,” I exclaimed, “this place is a treat!”

“Treat, retreat, repeat”
I strolled out the door
Mumbling, “out of my head D4.”



(((WENCH)))biggrin LOVE THIS!!!! Can't wait to see the rest of this and take it all in!

My thanks to all of you that have visited!!! Without each of you this place and this castle would not be possible! Please keep writing and lend to this place a bit of yourself and to us a bit of a twist in our lives...


With all that said I guess it is my turn to add to this castle of sorts... :wink:

This castle
it stands
in tatters
and massive
disrepair
but within
it lives
a family
broken
yet loving
you see
they truly
care

There is
Uncle Abra
down in the
tunnels
with his
studies
and yarns
that amaze
he sings
his songs
and tells
his tales
as he
giggles
at our
questions
of disbelief

A man
a friend
and brother
D4TC
so deep
in the
garden
of life
and passion
his thoughts
and words
tell stories
giving life
to grown
things
thorns
petals
sweetness
sorrow
life
take a walk
with him
and see
through
eyes
no longer
closed

DaveyB is
glue
friend
father
brother
no matter
here
giving host
to patience
love
prosperity
individuality
naked thought
bare emotion
raw passion
his travels
wide
his heart
dear
gentle
alone
haunting the
halls
for all
to hear
his passing

Auntie Wench
strong
silent type
trying to
hold her
tongue
let go
share it
don't
spare it
yourself
for another
give in
live
allow
you counsel
and care
you're there
here
giving life
love
through self
helping
those hurting
showing
through words
softly spoken
loudly heard
like glue
the bond
of us
perfectly given
strength

S1owhand
where are
you?
the man
of so few
words
quiet
reserved
heard
near
the gates
waiting
watching
giving birth
to thought
allowing entrance
to those
willing
loving
deserving
showing kindness
giving laughter
praise
understanding
feeling
through knowing
contemplating
fast
then slowing

Tanyaann
dark cousin
sharing knowledge
of things
not seen
not blinded
the dark
side
the moon
in her
room
shining brightly
giving voice
awake
not resting
she breaths
strength
sharing
those things
swept
under the
rug
hiding
not wanting
to be
seen
thank her
reality
escape
not here

Myself
a sister
short of
a brother
full of joy
broken heart
barely living
giving
what peace
this place
broken
together whole
speaking
through eyes
not seeing
my heart
right sleeve
don't
poke it
I bleed
caring
so much
of others
forgetting
of self
walking
nay talking
the garden
the halls
the dungeon
tower
moat
flower
bridge
and walls
home
love
my family
my friends
my all









That wasn't what I intended to write but I think you all have had moments where the pen was mightier than the intention. This is what came forth when I started thinking of all of you so this is what was meant to be.
I love each and every one of you and thank you for being this family that is so important to me!!!

Continuation....

I walked along and pondered
All I had seen, not noting where I wandered.
Didn’t notice ‘til I stopped, my walk had led downward.

Funny how when you let go
You’ll get where you need to without your control.
Another set of steps with cool air blowing forth.

Forward and downward, I went
Continuing my course crouched in descent.
(The ceiling kept getting lower.)

Finally, I came to a dirt cellar
Containing an average in height fellar
(The only thing “average” about him, I later learned.)

Yes, here was the kiln’s man,
Going by the name, S1owhand.
His writings grace these walls.

He’ll give just a tid bit,
Such as, “the bricks are held with ink and spit,
With blood and pure grit - now figure out where you fit.”

He may say it in English or perhaps in Latin,
Never missing a beat, continually shapin and slappin’
Together his next creative work. You’ll learn.

Our whole conversation
Bypassed my education,
So in search of reference, I galloped.

From the deep underground,
I kept spinning around
His words, so I wouldn’t forget.

Now upward, I tromped
Enjoying my romp
Ever upward in Castle Pen.

Into a round room of the left tower,
With discovered parchment and ink, I scoured
My memory of all it fought to retain.

With S1low’s words safely written down,
I could now look around,
BOOKS/LIBRARY/heaven - I fainted dead away.
“C’mon and rise up,
Ya knowledge seeking pup”,
I heard before ----

“Uggg-tooo-wahhhh splutter, splutter,” the water hit my face.
Flashing eyes opened
Searching for who had just spoken.

My temper now steaming.
All I saw was wooden shelves gleaming.
I couldn’t resist stroking the grain.

“I’m not that easy
Stop stroking so hard, it’s not pleasing!”,
The book-kace growled at me.

“Mother Mary Margaret, the KACE is alive!” I yelped
And jumped AWAY from that talking shelf,
Desperately in need of a weapon.

“You could always talk me to death”,
He said under his breath.
“Shape shift“, I nagged, “you gnarly old beam.”

He did and there before me
Was, a book in himself, kc003.
He bowed and said,

“In the flesh and at your service,
sorry, Wenchiepo-erson, never knew you to be nervous!”
“You’re gonna witness a shrieking shrew, brother of mine”,

I growled, quite irked.
“Oh, quit whining and get down to work”,
He said through an irritating smirk.

As he suggested, I got down to it
Defining and incorporating s1owhand’s wisdom and wit.
Hours later, time to relax in that garden outside.

Think, focus on the Garden ---
Whoosh, landed off balance and bumped
Into Willow, “Ohhh, I beg your pardon!”

Willow and the breeze
Politely dipped and bowed, forgiving me
As I sauntered through the gate.

“This garden was word painted into being
For another and all that you are seeing
Was created by Lurch’s_Sister.

Lovely hues
Of greens and blues
Dance throughout this place.

Clouds billow and waft
Chasing fears and woes
From hearts that need a break.

On these grounds,
Life abounds,
No matter how the winds may shift.

It’s always seeded
With all that’s needed.
C’mon in, relax, and drift.”

These words quoted above
Were carved on a plaque in the shape of a dove.
(Greeting all in case Sprite or Sister weren’t here.)

How did I know that last line?
It wasn’t written, but popped into my mind.
Cleared of all thought, except critters, off to the stables, I fly.

Landing in a wallowed out kind of a trench,
Face to face with myself, Differentkindofwench.
Why hang out in the muck and the stench?

Lessons in cleansing and transmutation
Cannot be completed without exploration.
Sometimes ya gotta just sift through the junk!

“Ding, Ding” - did ya hear that ring?
Who could this be on this most wondrous thing?
Cycles upon cycles interconnected into onto one big wheel in a whorl.
None other than fantabulous, ArtGurl!

Happily I wave at her ch'it eaten grin waving waving
'Til the next time, I ramble on in!

The castle was alive with family affairs
brothers and sisters running up and down stairs
Everyone knew time would be here soon
In the garden a wedding, a bride and a groom
Some loved him more than any belief
Others knew it would only bring grief
Twitter and talk behind everyones back
Who did this, did that, a sane man would crack.
But waiting in the garden everyone agreed
All wanted sis to be happy indeed.
Bickering was common these last few days
common sense often lost in a deep gray haze.
But the time was today it's all in the past
Sister will be married... and out of the castle at last.
