Fantasy

When I move into my medieval castle
Surrounded on all sides by the undisturbed woods,
We get tranquil, unending, leisurely walks
Free from the continuously gnawing “I should”s.

Hours and hours of exploring the lands,
Strolling by the creek without any hassle.
Dragging along nothing in my hands
Except the old silver keys to my castle.

I’ll have three little kittens, a Siberian Husky,
A beagle, a rabbit, and a little iguana.
I can’t think of a rhyme, so here’s the word “musky.”
I’ll plant lots of flora and catch myself a fawn-a.

No TV, no radio, and no DVD,
No computer, no cell phone, inside my walls.
In my medieval castle I shall be free
Strolling silently down my torch-lit halls.

I’ll have three grand pianos, pipe organ, church organ
And I’ll have the spare time to meet Billy Corgan.
He wrote many great songs which I do admire.
They’ll reverberate off my walls as I sit by the fire

Looking outside at the myriad lake
As seen through the stained glass,
Reflecting the fading light in my castle
Where loneliness sets in as the years come to pass.

I had the impression I could do without people
But who am I kidding but me?
Half my heart pulls him, half pushes away;
A dissatisfied essence my trap seems to be.

And is loneliness the unwelcome end
Of my perfect, far-off dream?
Incomplete, unfinished, imperfect life –
My trap is my fate, it would seem.

Never I’ll have the solace I crave.
My exact perfection never can be.
I might live in my castle, but I’ll still never own
The ideal life I call my fantasy.
