childish dreams of forgotten lore
aspirations grow with the passing years
dowdy dresses have no eye appeal
however, the mind creates new riches
the two of us have no real limits
we laugh and share a new domain
orphans of lust have no home
alone and bold, we capture the castle
an abandoned pile of earth's decay
used bricks give us life's new hopes

Truly a piece of art you have spilled within your quill
I really have been touched by your words and the thoughts are deep and meaningful.
Best wishes
