If thoughts could paint pictures that words dare not speak,
Dreams built castles of that which we seek.
Then artists and architects all we would we be,
Our hearts would be open, our minds would be free.

I'd build you a castle as dreams unfold,
Revealing the feelings I secretly hold.
I'd paint you a picture of words left unsaid,
Feelings of closeness to which they have led.

Pictures are thoughts that can never be told,
For fear of appearing too forward and bold.
Castles are built in the dreams of the heart,
A lifetime of wishes---still lifetimes apart.

Yet we are richer for all that we feel,
No matter how farfetched, no matter how real.
For joy is the picture we paint in our minds,
Love is the castle our hearts hope to find.
