The Conjuror 2.
Today we’ll turn to fairy-tale,
to ‘Once Upon A Time’;
the thought of ‘Happily Ever After’
isn’t viewed as such a crime.
You’ll see it in the distance,
an image of such power,
the royal palace calls to you
with those banners, moat and tower.
Look there, in the garden,
do you see the handsome prince;
he hands to her a flower
but just ignore the wince.
This is a place of romance
and of love that remains true,
perhaps a concept just so alien
to one that is like you.
The king and queen are really kind,
their wealth and joy they share;
it really is a happy place
for those who do dwell there.
Remember now just who I am,
a magician of the mind,
and the fact of the reality
is very hard to find.
The castle has a dungeon,
and inside there prisoners dwell,
the castle that they do perceive --
one that is a living hell.

All is not what it appears to be! Intrigued, Hully! Great second one of three!
Fri, April 27th, 2018 6:25pmAnother beautiful scene, minding the dungeon, of course. The pic is wonderful! I'd love to visit a place like that. A king and queen who share their wealth? A fairy tale, indeed. ;) Nevertheless, a happy place to live. But it's what lies beneath the surface that always matters.
