Tower Locked

Bones of steel hard and cold torn with fire from rocks so hard fiery liquid hot burning bright forced to serve the thoughts of man Mountain highs sundered apart their cold hard bones cut from within shaped to be unyielding skin to trap within and hold tight cold flesh of land in fire placed burnt with flame till colors flee cast in forms that cannot hold piercing beams of morning light locked away trapped within high above the distant land gazing down so far below held from where one would be Windows bright hard and cold placed where light will never be morning sun does not shine setting sun this place can’t find cold shadows here occupy where warming light cannot be steals the warmth from those trapped within and the hope they cannot find hot tears they cry that fall and cool anguished wails that ears don’t hear trapped within and held a way From all that they would be knights within their armor fight beneath colored banners in the breeze magic trapped within the weapons held wielded with skill hard earned battles long they did fight within the tower and mornings light and into cold dark of night endless the battle that they fight the foe insidious will not yield seeking ever against their might attacks from shadows everywhere cast by the falling of the light hopeless cries in the night within the tower high and cold bones of steel and flesh of stone and windows that never see the light
