The Tower

Faster, faster, down the hill, around the curve, to the evil tower

Falling rocks, breathe the hail, in the cliffs the face of beautiful woman

She delights in love and lust, she smiles and the ice around my heart melts

Willpower paralyzed, see the ground, trapped inside our tower

She won't ever let me down, always together

The clouds come drifting down, surrounding our tower

The lightning come and strike me down, always together

I won't ever let her down, prisoner in a tower

Words are like steps to the gardens of the heart, castles of the mind

I watch her turn around, viewing me with her glass eyes

Far beyond the closeness of the tips of our lips and fingers touching

Walking in the sun we seem so free, then we return to the tower

She won't ever let me down, always together

The clouds come drifting down, surrounding our tower

The lightning come and strike me down, always together

I won't ever let her down, prisoner in a tower

I won't choose to be a prisoner

I will jump from the window of the tower

To fall on my back, stare at the sky

I am free, she is free, we'll be free together

Let it all go to hell, let the fear drip away like tears

Let the tide of circumstance turn around, let the madness go

Filling our hearts with love feeds us like bread in a tower

With our backs to the bars, in our cage we kiss like prisoners

She won't ever let me down, always together

The clouds come drifting down, surrounding our tower

The lightning come and strike me down, always together

I won't ever let her down, prisoner in a tower

LovePoem forAll

by Zam

Love descends gently sometimes

To a loudness where the crashing is

Always there, like falling hair

Memories of oneself on the floor

Some is left, some no more

Still I stand, getting uglier with my fear

Of losing more than I have left

But no one remembers the wasted parts of me

There on the floor

Countless lovers' hearts away.

So, today

I speak my numbness with humble apathy

For my love I fear not if she goes away,

Only if she stays

For what can I say then?

Moon Song

Silver chariot

Skimming on the beams

Of midnight morning

Thin and thick air

3 eyed hounds

Breathing steam from nostrils

Friends are monsters

Teeth are swords

Dancing like a flame

Living like a game

Sucked into the throat of the moon

See my face around me

Hear my words accuse me

Eyes in eye

Hole in the sky

Reaching up

To touch the eggs of mother

3 eyed hounds

Ellipse the orb pursue me

All is sleeping

All ablaze!
