An Architects Dream
My castle was calling out to me
The ancient singing library
The passage had brought pain to me
A fabric clung around my knee
And today, I brace like donkey
Dotted down by playing monkey
The scar has all but gone away
Brought to my mind, in by our play
That intellect’s undeserved at the age
That hadn’t I proved in accepting pain?
Or being dazed by higher thought?
I climbed to find a lighted spot
And through the window I will tell
I caught my eye upon a bell
And near the tower, there was a man
Whom lost the sound that came to him
I covered up the wound inside
Faced with chalk, and a tall metal slide
Some horses and heroes did look down at me
Lines like these, have got to be;
An architects dream.
I wrote this poem about the first scar I ever got, which I received by running full speed at a very lovely library. The Oldest in part of my state. I tripped on a curb… It was when I was four and it hurt really bad. I fell on my head and knee. My knee is where the scar is at. This library does have a bell and a mural of horses and people. I clearly reference the song Kate Bush wrote about this oil painting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Architect%27s_Dream. This poem for me is about a sort of sacrifice for knowledge :P

I forgot to mention that I was playing the show words words words where I was a monkey named Kaffka which is a show about type writer monkeys. My monkey is the one to writ hamlet btw. But I had to walk like a monkey and was constently brusing myself.
