Castles And Mazes
Castles musty cooler air
old time renaissance kings with flair
gorging dinners feeding hands
walls to protect from stealing thief's plans
armor suits looting pursuits
bandits on horses joining forces
romance of an era long since past
jesters and hierarchy made up the cast
king and queen and love in-between
riches glory of an everlasting story
majesty and magical spells
listen to this place as it tells
what happened here died long ago
basements of torture locked down below
enriching warmth old time glory days
culture Celtic mythological ways
built after BC standing now to see
monuments of history and mystery
overwhelming senses, extraordinary defenses
relics wonder of gazes, gardens made into mazes
