A Castle In The Sky

There is a castle in the sky,

made of rainbow colored ice

that I found to be so, so nice,

though I can’t explain why,

but it forced tears to fall from

melting eyes, as the snow covered man,

who never took a stand, began

to fade away into the endless sea

of the milky way galaxy...

He’d be forgotten among the stars,

but never by the countless human hearts,

and as he may paint the landscape with

his living tears, the years pass by,

and as he cries, time dies, and the skies

begin to sever their ties and plummet

down towards the cotton candy clouds below,

though, she met me with her indigo eyes,

And that is when time began to reverse,

twist and turn, and I no longer lied

within a coffin in a black hearse,

because I’d been born entirely anew,

and no longer was I a melting snowman,

that stood in the middle of Summer Land.

And as I’d regrown my angel wings,

I could now fly towards the one thing

that allowed my happiness to soar,

forever more.

The castle in the sky, of course,

whilst finding myself as a winged horse,

no longer of snow, but of flesh,

and bone. I tried so hard to push myself,

up, up and away, as I’d done each day.

And there may always be a closet shelf

with my name upon it,

as my spirit may be locked away,

so that it never melts again,

though, I may send an origami bird

to fly through the keyhole

of the locked door, in order to send

word to someone I’d known before,

someone like you, who’d once

melted too, but unlike me,

you had escaped, and flew

far and wide, towards the bright,

and colorful rainbow sky,

where my heart was aligned

with your indigo-colored eyes.

and that is why I’m here,

upon this milky way tier,

only able to peer through

time and space, to find you.

And I will find you,

somehow, no matter what

it make take, even if

I place my life at stake.

Melting without you

wouldn’t be the same,

nor would watching the

fluorescent rain fall below.

As I watch you go, I only know

that the castle in the sky,

isn’t too far from my longing reach,

as I sit upon this sandy beach,

and watch the world fall fast asleep,

I know it now more than I had before,

that the end was always meant to be,

as all things wash up on the castle

in the sky’s moonlit shore.
