A CASTLE BY THE LAKE

swords and stars and shooting stars
and romantic fantasies
in the palm of my hand,
love, and loyalty,
and hourglasses that never fade
before the waters- ebbing and flowing of our feelings,
somewhere in my imagination
a castle by a lake
and a mountain in the clouds
dragged back to reality by your
un-ignis fatuus,
but rested firmly
in the heart kept behind my breast,
My Dreams.

hourglasses that never fade = eternal love, un-ignis fatuus = the opposite of imagination (from "ignis fatuus", imagined will o' the wisp) and is the lack of imagination of Katie's (of us being together) that keeps my dreams from being true. (but the dreams are still true in my heart)
