A collaboration with beautiful Tinka


Poem Artwork

Within the castle of our dreams
The debris of the past still floats
The walls of insecurity needs to be washed
To eliminate all that trash from within
We need to re-arrange some furniture
And decorate those dark thoughts
Within the castle of our dreams
Old memories need to fade away
To allow new ones to elate each day
Within this castle of OUR dreams
Only words of love to be spoken
Like an avalanche to flow
Beneath the warmest sunrays of love
Slipping from the chambers of our hearts
Warm and tender…deep

A falling refrain
Two hearts together in harmony
Words of love that will be spoken
With meanings real and not just token
No more pettiness or something phony
This will be our testimony
Past derbis have left our side
Like flotsam on the ocean wide
Our dreams one day will all come true
Because of me, because of YOU
Within the walls of our castle keep
Eternal love runs so very ....deep

The 'Castle' is a metaphor I've used in many of my poems. You two have taken the metaphor to new heights. A beautiful composition that shows two artistic, creative souls that are of one accord.
Assign the bad memories to the dark dungeons and invite merriment into the main hall. Life begins anew each day...

Tinka & Walt, a great write of a love stronger than a raging sea, but differences pulled you away from each other. I mulled over this a tad because in my heart of hearts, once respect is lost in a love, there's really nothing but possibly the memories of the passions you two once shared is truly all that is left. Would it work once again, once the two of you are together for a while and the flicker starts to flicer again?

A castle with strong walls to keep out all the ugliness, and to protect the love that's growing inside.
"Because of me, because of YOU" -- a fitting tribute to your love of one another. So very tender.
