The balcony was waiting, I stood bouquet in hand
The crowd stood there before me, a joyful, happy band
This day was very special, at last I was his bride
I felt his prescence near me as he stood by my side.
I turned and in that moment my heart was turned to stone
Consumed at once by darkness for I was all alone
The castle was a ruin, the balcony a rock
My gown that had been prestine was now a ragged frock.
There was no crowd before me as silence reigned supreme
Was it imagination, my wedding day a dream
I searched my mind for answers, why had he gone away
Then suddenly remembered why I was here that day.
I found the room quite quickly and saw him lying there
Upon the verge of dying he cried out in despair
Then suddenly he saw me and gasped, held out his hand
Secure upon his finger, their glowed a golden band.
"You've come for me my Angel, I hope that you can stay
I've waited since you left me upon our wedding day
The battle took you from me as you died on my arm
I wanted to go with you but I was free from harm.
The balcony was waiting, at last our time had come
All battles gone for ever and victory was won
A pure white light was waiting, we'd find our castle soon
As hand in hand together we flew on honeymoon.

Unrequited Love?
to never be denied in the end! A wonderful tale of scenes playing out atop a balcony of dreams, as it were.
You have a gentle touch with the pen, crafting lines rich in imagery and thought.

A beautiful muse's thoughts...
Now this is a very interesting story - right away, I thought of Cinderella, her Prince, and the glass slipper; yet your li'l poem of a Castle in the Sky is very touching, though somewhat bittersweet. I'm glad they found one another in the end! Great work, thanks for sharing!! I'm wishing you the very best of luck in the contest!!! Take care... 
Peace, Cyn
