MY BURNING TOWER

nephilim56

When your eyes
Became white doves
In sleep above
The dreaming hour
I watched you slumber
My burning tower.

I cradled your thoughts
Burning deep desire
Passion rising
Higher higher
Watching from
My burning tower.

As night grew dense
Wild eyes frayed
Seeking, searching
A deeper place
As you slumber
My burning tower.

In moonlight
Roses weep
Trembling stems
A silence keep
In your slumber
My burning tower.

    A metaphor here of a burning tower. A guide, a passion what ever the burning might be it leads through the poem to the end. Very nice
