This is a thread for everyone on here with something to express either in writings poetry dreams or wishes. It doesnt matter what its about , hopefully no one will give anything but constructive critisism....All it has to do is come from the soul....And dont worry.
This is a poem I wrote when I lived with my ex husband in a stately home in Norfolk ...and he lived with his mistress way way up on the top floor..while I roamed alone through the rest of the house miserably unhappy but expected to always be reasonable. because that is the way of the aristocracy and had been for centuries But this was a life for someone without a heart a soul and a spirit........There you are that wasnt too bad.!
The Iron Gates.
Come with me behind the gates
Those gates of iron grand
Into the lives of those inside
With minds of shifting sand.
I bet you wish this was your lot
So priviledged with plenty
To dine insplendour every night
With hearts so cold and empty.
To roam like spectres round the halls
To gaze on paintings fine
to drape yorself in precious jewels
Passed to you down the line.
Barons won and Earls took back
And feuds were fought over land
The Armour they wore
That kept thier hearts cold
The Knights of the Shifting Sand.
And so it comes down to us wretched few
To carry the Ancestral Curses
In hearts that are cold
Bought for pieces of gold
From coffers and soft velvet purses.
