Best Tower Poems
The Tower RebuiltI shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some state of disrepair,
And a rounded brough
Complete with smooth,
Well trodden...

The Bell House TowerWe saw a dim light upon top of the Bell House Tower
a scream echoed out and then a dark shadow slipped
by the light, in the midnight hour.
What was that? I asked my friend, I don't know
she said, but it sounded as if something has...

In a Tower Far AwayI wonder often what you think, or if you think at all,
of the time we shared together as the summer turned to fall.
I dream of your adventures, while I watch the passing day,
in a room of empty chairs, in a tower far away.
I wonder often...

The Crumbling of Ebonies TowerUnable to somehow escape this castle of want
As an apparition endlessly roaming its corridores
From room to room and door to door; up and down its spiral staircase
Looking at the paintings upon the walls, of another era, gone by....
Desperately seeking something inside, of these bolted moments
Trapped...

The Bell Tower That Leaned InI. The Pastor’s Hand
At dawn’s brittle cusp—
he climbs, each step
a nail in time’s coffin
breath ragged
a Psalm torn mid-hymn.
The rope tastes of incense and myrrh—
Liberty’s fracture
braided through its...

The Eiffel TowerTHE EIFFEL TOWER
In the city of light their aspire
Was to build to a climax higher
Gustave Eiffel you see
Said just leave it to me
I can satisfy all your desire
Monsieur Eiffel seen with affection
By Dames de Paris for perfection
Of his manner de Gaul
Mais plus ca most of...

Rapunzul- Stuck In TowerIt was some curse,
Locked in a tower all time,
Did I steal a purse?
Or did an unforgettable crime?
I paint the house like Van Gogh,
As I feel I'm going to shout,
I bake cookies and make bows,
But why can't I just go out?
I go to my...

ladder leading up to the base of the tank. This ladder has been climbed by countless
teenagers, for thrills and mischief and young kids answering a...

Lying TowerLies...
stack them up like
foam blocks, all foamy—
or wooden blocks
be wooden
Higher, and higher,
piled on top of the other,
teetering
A foundation built on lies
Sky high, too high
one
last lie
to put on top,
one more lie
as white and light
as a feather
but it is enough
to let everything
topple over...

Tower of BabelTower of babel
falls pride crushed dust
scattered across the face
Of earth dull heads crumble
Who challenges Gods of the ice-bergs
Spilling thorns on sad milky way
Are we building tower ?
Let it crumble on heart.

From the Tower(A New Zealand Poem)
In thought as I sit here, 747 flying by, in contrast to the isles of white clouds cruising eastwards across the Manukau sky yet another 747 passes by.
Tourists keep on coming, knowing nothing of the struggle within, local tribe just trying to...

Ivory TowerExisting, so removed, in your ivory tower
From high in your loft you wield your power
You weave your emotions like Rupunzel’s hair
dangling enticingly waiting to snare
Keeping your feelings locked behind bars
elusive and untouchable distant as the stars
Seemingly honest and raw and true
easy to trust what you...

Lighthouse's Tower of TuskTOWER OF TUSK

lone tower of tusk
roaming beams of angel- light…
signal post for ships
rising obelisk
pewter threads wave guardian’s blade…
safe sail from dark harm

Rainbow of FunI opened my love to a beautiful day,
In rain, in hail, and cold,
And my heart ran off, to your open arms,
To grasp, to nurture and hold,
With love on your pillars, reaching up high,
Above all the love in the town,
My heart, in your...

Willingly EnslavedLock me in a tower,
tie me to the bed.
The secrets that
you whispered,
play inside my head.
Tell me
Again,
you want me.
Show me,
HAVE NO FEAR!
Please!!
I beg....
Touch me,
More!
Like that,
Right here.....
Somewhere far away
On a moonless night,
torture me,
endlessly....
I promise,
I'll pretend to fight....
Fine is the line
between pleasure
and pain.
Punish me
with ecstasy,
strip me of...
