protect the castle

Retreat is something I know well. It's comfortable in me, there's wine and beautiful tapestries.

RETREAT!! going inward
gates are barred and
there is flaming tar
filling the moat.

You can still come in
if you know about
the secret door and
have the password

I'll give you a hint...
it isn't your f*****g
opinion of me or your
'constructive criticism'

The castle is warm
your advice is unwanted,
especially when your observations
are technically insults.

The password probably rhymes
with 'you're pretty and I like you'
and comes with wine, dark chocolate,
no expectations, and being a patient giver

In bed.

I'll give you a hint...
it isn't your f*****g
opinion of me or your
'constructive criticism' -- this stanza made me a giggle...probably because I have thought this deep within myself many times and never had the courage to say it out loud :)

This was one of those "purging" writes, I am sure. I do this from time to time; getting out all of the things that are pressing on your heart. The idea of "retreat" is an interesting one, as I can understand the essence of the desire to withdraw. Still, there is power in the words that gives stark juxtaposition to the idea of retreat, because this is a "charge" forward in many ways!

This one just cracks me up!! But it's also late, I'm mildly delirious from some random bout of insomnia... Probably brought on by my heaping helping of sass and takin no s**t brainwaves right now.
