The Castle Beside The Ocean Poem by Ash Price

The Castle Beside The Ocean



In that castle, wandering around. She lost herself in that horrible place, stranded in her discourse. A dream that was all too real because it was in fact her life. Up to that point, devouring life as she encircled in trance across the staircases and dark places. Maybe she was lost. Or in fact she did not care. Rags and pain drenched in her own sweat. Following no breadcrumbs but lost dreams that were pieces upon the floor. One said happiness, and another said love. She did not cry, she simply placed them upon the ground and continued walking. It was so dark. The sun was entrapping the castle in a blanket of fear, but that midnight castle that enveloped her entire life in a veil and curtain of ensuing darkness. She used to ask herself where do we go from here. She stopped asking herself these types of questions when the pieces fell. The burning sun was so irritating to her eyes, so she continued up the stairs. Once at the top, there was no where to turn. There was an old photograph of her old self. How queer, when you are the doppelganger and someone you used to know is your better half. She began to pause and look at the stairs. The sunlight was horribly rising like a flood. She sighed, and twas a rare occasion for sighing was too an exasperated emotion in her inventory. She began to feel frightened and wept until she was up against a wall. She then proposed an idea that made her shutter. She thought, if I run fast enough, I might just be able to not be inflicted by this miserable light. With a long breath, She ran down the stairs. She kept one eye closed and one eye open, running ever faster than she had ever ran in her life. She continued down those steps and ran out that castle door. She found herself outside as the breeze caressed her body and she stopped just before the edge of the cliff. The flowers that surrounded her were gracefully moving as she looked down at the blue ocean. She sighed and began to cry. She fell to her news and screamed with all her lungs. She fell to the floor and began to laugh heartily as the castle began to fall apart and crumble.
