The Castle of Magic

by Diana L Crawford


Haunting magic castle 
What mysteries you hold
A captured regal princess
And other tales of old
 
A dancehall and a dungeon
A Renaissance room
No guest who enters here
Knows it’s really just a tomb
 
Only royal kings of old
Have graced the spiral stair
Great halls boast of precious art
All hung with tender care
 
Ornate decor fills every room
Each displays fine tapestry
Distractive to the costumed guest
With blinders on they do not see
 
The aging gracious host appears
“Welcome to my costume ball”
He offers cordial honey words
Seductive speech intriguing all
 
Halloween has come again 
Not one knows what’s in store
As he garners up a tattered book
Of ancient spells and more
 
Rushing to the wizard’s den
With eagerness he heads
To prepare the sweet concoction
That the unsuspecting dreads
 
All will sip the poison brew
A true delight they do believe
But from this evil magic place
None will ever leave...

This poem was inspired by Dean Kuch. I had only known him a short time, but I wanted to honor him in some humble way for all of his kindness and advice. xoxo
