Castle in the Clouds

Anger and depression is my life

I live in a castle in the clouds

All pretty white cotton and golden streets

Purity and Justice; embodiment of the finest

A lovely place with a righteous King

I live in a castle in the clouds

There is no privacy in this KingdoM

No room to say no

No way to resist the power of our mighty Rulers

For our greater good we will remain under their watchful eye

I live in a castle in the clouds

Animosity and hate can not exist

There is no other way but that of the Queen's

The King has long since passed

Though it's doubtful he ever existed

I live in a castle in the clouds

Tears stream down my face

Control and will; that which makes me human

It is not here

I live in a castle in the clouds

Faint blood stains the ground 

Almost so light it is not even there

A thing ignored, a thing forgotten

A thing that can never be

I live in a castle in the clouds

The smell of Bleach and Ash tarnish the once crisp air

A sickly sweet stench left behind

As if Febreeze will make the flowers grow

A fake remnant of what could be 

I live in a castle in the clouds

I stand alone but not forgotten

The High Priestess binds me at her feet

Cackling before me

Her rule is law

Her law is life

My life is hers

I live in a castle in the clouds

But nothing else is real

[Michael Deshields]

I like it kind of shows that reality isn't the greatest thing

[Hinoto]

wow, very powerful poem. The world may be beautiful but its beauty hides the truth of what really happens there.

[Tsukin Archangel]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes that indeed is a meaning behind this poem, people see perfection, people see the beauty but ignore the faint hints of hell that bleed through no matter how hard they try to make it appear perfect ;3. Thanks for the review :3

[Katherine Enma Pineappl..]

I always doubt my first impressions when reading poetry so I had to read this again and again. The castle of clouds, I picture, is something that could be considered dreamlike to others but in reality is a representation of something controlling, hurtful and it sounds like hell. I like any other person hate being stripped my freedom.

I see the castle of clouds much like my classroom right now, full of authority but highly interpreted as beautiful but what use is such beauty when there's no freedom?

Sorry I kind of mashed my interpretation with real life so I'm not sure if I am right ^_^;

[Tsukin Archangel]

lol its all good, connecting it to your own life just makes it that much more poignant :3 whatever it means to you is the proper definition of the piece :3 THANKS!

[Norma M Sutton]

I would guess that clouds are all those things we wish to attain that will never be :) Doesn't stop us from trying though.

Check this line :) Did you mean is?
"My life his hers:

[Tsukin Archangel]

すごい！！
The castle sounds like a distopia: 1)"Purity and Justice; embodiment of the finest/ A lovely place with a righteous King"--a realm presented as morally correct and devoid of error 2)"No way to resist the power of our mighty Rulers/ For our greater good we will remain under their watchful eye"--an attempt to rid of all problems, so the ruler is always in the lives of its subjects 3)"Animosity and hate can not exist/ There is no other way but that of the Queen's/ The King has long since passed"--another attempt, this time to create emotional perfection by suppressing the negative emotions. The founder of the Utopia passes away and someone of a different wavelength inherits it. 4) "Control and will; that which makes me human/ It is not here"--and all of these efforts to execute the imperfection and ensure security takes with it the very core of a human being 5)"Almost so light it [the blood] is not even there/ A thing ignored, a thing forgotten"--the blood may represent the true results of this failed Utopia, something that isn't acknowledged 6) "The smell of Bleach and Ash tarnish the once crisp air/ A sickly sweet stench left behind"--this is an acknowledgement of the pollution of punctilious cleansing 7)"I live in a castle in the clouds/ But nothing else is real"--all taht exists now is the Distopia, the memories of the temporal Utopia have faded into the character's questionable memories...

--Okay, that's my interpretation of the castle. Brilliantly written poetry!

[Tsukin Archangel]

sweeet!!! Thanks for the review its cool to see what different people get from this!! Glad you like it!

[kublakhan27]

That's what poetry is for :) I'm always hesitant to reveal my interpretations of things when writers ask for them cuz I'm scared of being dead wrong, but this sounds more like a prison than a castle...hopefully there was some therapy in the writing of this piece for you cuz it is a great poem :)

[Tsukin Archangel]

thanks and ur not incorrect whatever it speaks for you is what it means in that moment, maybe it'll mean something else in the future
