The Tower. Fallen Angel 17

by Darren   Nov 14, 2015


(He sang a song)

O tower
that place that rots his thoughts
sticks fingers in his mind
breathing blood through flared nostrils
crying shame like death regretful

O tower
a home to store my soul
after tearing from my chest
stamping it into sodden earth, underfoot
creating a more useful 'sole'

O tower
the crevices that store insanity
those bricks made by hooligans
desecrating natures corpses
dripping sinew decoratively

O tower
that phallic residence
where I pulled my heart from my carcass
still beating, turned inside out
stuffed full of worms and eaten

O tower
a place to meet your demons
cause thunder with your bellows
destroy kindness with your emptiness
survive mankind until tomorrow

I have decided to repost these as individual poems, they are taken from my poetry book I published on Amazon.

Some of the older members have already read these and I thank them
Just a quick fix to get my number of poems up. I was probably a bit quick publishing, some of these need more work.

    An excellent shift in style here, Darren, and great to introduce this so far into the saga; it took me by surprise as soon as I saw it.
    Can I ask how long it took you to write all these to completion?

    All the best
