Where tall doorways open to
a plethora of unspoken powers
Where winding stairs lead to
a patio of the wildest flowers
Where chandeliers of tears
hang from arched high ceilings
Where closed chests hold
a treasure of hidden feelings
Where impenetrable ramparts
guard all chambers of integrity
Where refined tastes coexist
with a fine dose of alacrity
Where portraits of memories
carefully adorn long corridors
Where mysteries wait to be
unearthed from marbled floors
Where fountains of thought
flow beside the bravest knights
Where the moon spares a beam
on the most darkest of nights
This is my body
– my armed fortress –
This is my soul
– my whimsical mansion –
This
…is I…
