A castle

with high walls

historical and old

hidden in the hills

surrounded by fields.

A wonderous

old building

once housed by

elite people,

Kings and Queens,

Prince and Princesses.

An untold history

never forgotten

but now no more.

Crumbling walls,

cold slippery dampness,

seeping with reflections

of past souls

seeping in

thick icy air.

*

Wispy areas,

cobwebs cursed

whilst

ghosts lurk

watching strangers

wander around

misty soot of

wafting dust,

a lingered rust.

*

Steps lead up

a banister of fluff.

The mustering of bodies

equipped with icy spite,

this spooky,

old forsaken castle

once a place

to call home

*
