Battlement Red

Autumnal red
Battlement grey
All that’s calm
Has gone today

Red in your eyes
Red in my head
Red for danger
Red in the bed

No more Rapunzel
In the sunset hour
But Bodaciea
Struggling to regain
Her power

Remembering
A grey
European day
Castle battlements
Gold and red leaves
As Autumn held sway

A promise to keep
A river of song
Medieval Summer

Now everything’s gone

Inspired by a grey Autumn day at a castle in Visigrad, Oct 2012
