This paper brick.
The foundation stone
upon which
my ramshackle home
will sit.
Cemented by lines,
bones mined
from mountainous
conversations,
conversing with stars
and divine constellations.
The rhymes will hold
the pieces tightly tethered,
through nightly storms
and torrential bad weather.
Into those
summer seasons
of love
watching
the sunsets together.
This paper brick,
the first piece
of a building,
beaten,
warped and uneven.
The floorboards
will creak,
corridors will tilt
to the bubbling ceiling,
but it will be home.
A fairytale.
A place to believe in.
The crooked corners
will create nooks and crannies,
The uncanny walls enchanted
with slanted glitter dusted bookshelves.
Story filled worlds
where we can delve.
When our own
fairytale hideaway,
needs to rest for a day.
