Towers Poems - Poems about Towers

In the twilight hum of broken cities, where glass teeth bite the smog-choked sky, I walked—a stranger to my own time— past dreams rusted in neon haze. "This is the kingdom we made," whispered the wind through hollow streets, "not with love, but with longing unfulfilled." --- I. The Circle of Shattered Masks Faces gleamed in fractured mirrors— perfect, painted, pixel-deep. Beneath the glass: eyes dull as...

In a city of shadows and glimmers, where glass towers rise like dreams in a starless night, we search for the contours of our own destinies, shrouded in the fine mist of mornings too hasty to greet us, we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of streets where every corner hides an untold story, a long-forgotten memory, lost in the...

What is nowadays West, in a moment of relaxation While you wait for the green on a crossroad: Impressions dissolve in stuffiness, preceding rainfall, Although there are no other signs of rain. Poor Jim Morrison, the whole generation Of melancholic, alco-dependant kids Was growing old, listening in awe to his invocations. He clearly stated the west is the best, We...

Academicians … masticating and grinding their ‘truth’ Spewing out what they would have us swallow in gagging choking egotism Regurgitating it back in the toxic chunder of a narcissistic reality Papering the walls of modern thought with the bibs of their retching As they hide within their ivory towers —festering in mass (St. David’s Pennsylvania: September, 2023)...

Oh what a pity that in David's great city they built a skyscraping tower. the which to describe my poor words lack all power. Those who dwell in its heights enjoy rapturous sights of the noble city below, where those in the pit who look up at it are denied a commensurate show. Now who had the cheek, if you let me thus speak, to call...

Usa Usa The free country Remember the day Where there were no delays Oh shall i say the delays Are because of the disgrace What we call teenagers of the day They are being bashed by standards high enough like the twin towers Twin tower that fell Violence that arose guns with no laws Teens...

Take me down to ground zero, brother, I need to see the truth - where dark angles from hell put evil in place, and three thousand innocents died. Take me down to ground zero, sister, I want to feel the void - when an enemy’s faith put death before life, and cowards made innocents die. Take us to the five-sided fortress and also honor the...

Please, please tell me if I am too much Sometimes my personality overpowers If I belabor a point, or scream, or such, Please, please tell me if I am too much. If I am losing it, or if I am out of touch, I need to come down from ivory towers Please, please tell me if I am too much, Sometimes my...

The View from the Towers Clock David J Walker At best A Guest is all we really are Mistaking the sound of thunder For the voice of God Odd That we should reclaim By name Ownership Over anything And everything Spring Brings dry winds Sends choking clouds of dust Lust Consumes the rest of us Times Inside the tower's clock Chimes Rewinds the spring Reminds us of...

The Last Full Moon of the Season David J Walker Day of past days Once in the way of This today Hours of past hours Cataloged and Overlapped with Horrors of mirrors And old age In ivory towers A presence within a Long lost past Preserved presented In scrapbooks framed In ash A silvery silk web stretched tight Across the Savoy night I await you On a moonlit...

I have lived in towers I have lived with secondhand dreams that wore out too easily. My father was a basement for hope, mother came with me until she died inside her self-made cage. In the many towers women left as quick as they came. A child was born unto us a young wife for a while flew out of a high window when she returned we...

Like into a deep mysterious well the heat unbearable they disappear like dropping stones once loved and so familiar their faces going to where what is gone is gone no time granted to ask why leaping into the blue sky a death such dreams and plans they had for tomorrow everything must now be but as dust Dedicated to people forced to jump...

There…and Here, 9/11 Never. In all my days. (I was at work, as a nursery manager, watching over a dozen tots.) On my TV, the meteorologist was exalting the ...

When the fire burned inside the artificial fire, and hate was hated further than ever, even love hid ... Peace was surprised and without faith it burned everyone at the same time. The powder has calcined in anything else but dust... the sky fell. The chaos shocked itself ... and what was left of us? ......
