Thursday photo prompt: Castle #writephoto

Ghosts…
Blue purple clouds above the castle dark
My body lying in the silver water below
My soul trapped within black castle walls
I wait, a ghost you cannot see.
The chains that held me,
hang against damp walls
My tormentors long gone, a forgotten time
Damp walls pulse with remembered pain
There are few visitors to this dark place
They never come twice
Strange feelings creep into the skin
They carry them away for a few weeks
My hope is one visitor will see me
Hear my whispered voice
They can read about my plight
In a paperback novel.
I need someone sensitive
to the horrors of this place
to feel my presence
lay flowers on the silver waters outside
reunite soul and body, help me move on
to pray for the ghost, they cannot see…
Both tragic and beautiful….

Tragically beautiful Anita. I’ve tweeted in case you don’t see it, sadly, 75% blogs I read,. the tweet button doesn’t work and I had to share with an extension. 🙂
