The scale

The castles of desire and not to scale
images distorted by the oil lamp
the moat to cross to damp
but still persue our fairy tale

Rupunzel hair fall down fall down
a prince so handsome kiss your feet
the butterflys  that romance feeds
a tiara or a shining crown

a tinsle town where sparkle lives
the red carpet left untrod
your ego like a cattle prod
tenderness  in time forgives

mistreatment breeds a harder skin
a barbed wire fence keeps hurt away
to steel your will the attornys  said
separtation advanced the broken link

the premier with empty seats
a hollow of illusion you try to delete
the call of chastity religon needs
the monastry walls that cant be breached
