building castles

just popped into my head

building castles
out of grains of
errant thought;
blocking rivers,
damning my mind
to fend itself
against crocodiles
lurking in moats
of my own creation --
ascend an endless
set of stairs
to a tower beset
by nightmare's dragon
lying in wait
preventing entry
into heart's chambered
doorways fastened shut
against the storm --

                         prepared for anything
                           but you

like a very tale, but so metaphorically well done, and so much deeper than the moat...

sometimes there is just no preparation for who comes along...to rescue us...or annihilate us...
