In A Far Away Land...

A fun piece.

In A Far Away Land...

Sits a lonely stoned walled castle
Its pristine outside
untouched by the hands of time
But inside its beautiful walls
lives a pretentious ugly monster
That destroys anything or anyone
that dares step inside her.

One Stormy Day...

Along came a determined prince
that stumbled upon this beautiful castle
surrounded by white sands
and blue-calm waters
It looked cozy and inviting
So he kicked down the door
Slayed the beast
and freed the princess it was hiding.

'This sure was a fun read. It reminds me of the old song about castles crumbling:

“Castles will crumble,
and fall after all
for life’s really funny that way,
but just remember that sunshine
always follows the rain …”
so push those monsters away, and
send them packing for Spain.

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much! I'm going to look that song up. :)

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! Notice how well the lines of this song flow. Once you hear you never forget it.

[Chris Micha]

It would be interesting if the monster was the princess. I have twisted way of thinking sometimes but I enjoyed reading this.

[Chris Micha]

Haha the monster is the princess :) you had it ;)

[BloodySkye]

Wait are you serious? That is so cool :D

[Chris Micha]

Oh yeah, the castle is her beauty, the inside is her monster. ;)

[BloodySkye]

I really like that, its symbolism all the way. It also reminds of some people I used to know. How they betray beauty but have an ugly heart or On the outside they look so serene but deep down they are in pain and want help.

[Chris Micha]

So true! Really glad to have you check it out :)

[BloodySkye]

Anytime. Your writing has deep meaning behind it and I like that.

[Chris Micha]

Awesome!! :)

OH! This brought back memories of the knight in shining armor. Silly thing which every girl dreams of. Some lucky enough to find the knight. It was a fairy tale for me. Fun read. :)

[Chris Micha]

Thank you dear! Pick the knight with the least shiniest armor, he's the one you want. The one with shiney armor hasn't been through a fight. ;)

[Anita Singh]

Oh! That's witty. I like it. Silly me.. never really thought of it! Yes, I would like my man to be rugged and tough. :D

[Chris Micha]

But sweet in the middle!!

[Anita Singh]

What?! Oh yes! Of course, his heart! :)
