The Castle On a Hill

The Land Of Royal Monarchs


from the plains we see
the land of royal monarchs 
perched on a hilltop

its architecture
draws us to the heritage 
of the blue blooded 

secret lives of kings
unveiled flamboyancy with
queens and courtesans

heirs of dynasties
dreamed treacheries and murders 
as game for the throne

princely monument
in prime was bereft of love
now gardens tourists
