There Is A Nymph Beyond My Gate.

I have walked these lonely battlements
for as long as I have known
arrayed, encased in heavy armour
that in mind, as if forever.
Atop a solitary hill that I call home
in a weary castle all my own
behind a self-dug moat of freezing waters
where swims memories of lost, dreary winters.
Entrenched behind silent, brooding towers
surrounded by walls indifferent to censure
in a keep, dark, forbidding and tall
with barred doors and shuttered windows all.
Until that sepulchred moment on a comely breeze
floats that hint of laughter and happiness' gist
the pitter patter of delicately dancing feet
upon fresh grasses in such melodious beats.
So it was that very hour, the changing of my guard
this persistant rumour dances all day this way and that
that I could not but wonder, perhaps and why
maybe I should dare to discover, what it is by and by.
Upon a day I did just that
I took a peek quickly outside
and my eyes does ravel in the delight
the sweet dancing gaits of a sweet nymph's respite.
Tall she was, dainty and compact
a beauteous vision which does tender my heart
as I stood transfixed upon my wall
watching this unfold, song, dance and all.
But then she glanced and smiled at me
and just as suddenly skipped to the trees
though I vainly looked for her dance and sight
never did I find any trails on her part.
That was the last I saw of her
though her promise of joy did surround and linger
as I return alone behind my walls
I thought of hope and the promise beyond my halls.

Woah BH! This is excellent.
The imagery was amazing and your words were perfect.
Have hope, my friend. You will find her again someday, I am sure.
Fantastic write.

I had alot of thoughts as I read your poem Baron and emotional flickers. I saw chivalry, lonliness, longing, fear and impenetrable walls.
Sometimes keeping yourself in is more work than letting yourself out.
It is hard to let another in if you are protected by walls, moats, landmines, barbed wire, obstacle courses, mazes, wooden stakes and flaming arrows. But if someone made it thru all of the tests, would they be in or would you be out?
Curious, as always.

Great work BH, this is a beautiful story told.
I've had an experience like this once, maybe more than once, where you come across this person who just seems so amazing and so perfect for you, but for some unknown reason, you never seem to aquire that persons perfection.
You have a very unique way with words which,I think, translate your self to others in a beautiful manner.
Great job!
