A CASTLE BY THE SEA


I keep my heart in
a castle by the sea
waiting for someone
to come and set it free.

A set of chains,
a stone keep wall,
a moat outside;
await your call.

Take my heart
out from this castle,
to open meadows-
beneath the clouds.

Roll me upon the grass,
kiss me on the lips,
show me how to smile,
and hold me 'gainst your chest.

Take my heart
from this castle by the sea,
Unbind my chains,
and show me how to be free.
