Array ( [sid] => 166292 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A tower that cannot fall. [time] => 2011-05-14 22:17:32 [hometext] => Been too busy ^_^ always, abraham [bodytext] => My spirit is broken.

Of all the words that settle at the foundation of my heart, those few words are all that I am able to give rise to, that I am able to breathe into with the power of my own life.

The moon rises
The towers fall

My spirit is broken—the moon rises. The towers fall.

Love is a fire that I have not knelt to, to warm my hands by, to gaze intently into, or taken harbor by in the oceanic fields of night. I do not know the fervor of its blaze or the intrepidity of its flame—how I imagine its flame, a tower that cannot fall—I do not know the fulfillment of love, knowing only the unhealthy satiation of desire and its departure.

The moonrise tide of love falls blind to a dream of the sun, the towers of her hair fall—the towers of her hair in curls across a sea of gold. My spirit breaks at the cleft of another dawn.

My heart is still, quickening no more to the cataractous desires of my youth. The towers are fallen to dust. The moon is set.

My spirit is broken.

Of all the words that settle at the foundation of my heart, those few words are all that I am able to give rise to, that I am able to breathe into with the power of my own life.

The moon rises
The towers fall

My spirit is broken—the moon rises. The towers fall.

Love is a fire that I have not knelt to, to warm my hands by, to gaze intently into, or taken harbor by in the oceanic fields of night. I do not know the fervor of its blaze or the intrepidity of its flame—how I imagine its flame, a tower that cannot fall—I do not know the fulfillment of love, knowing only the unhealthy satiation of desire and its departure.

The moonrise tide of love falls blind to a dream of the sun, the towers of her hair fall—the towers of her hair in curls across a sea of gold. My spirit breaks at the cleft of another dawn.

My heart is still, quickening no more to the cataractous desires of my youth. The towers are fallen to dust. The moon is set.

a tower you cannot see, or find, whilst looking for it. It will come to you some day.
And then, eventually, you'll be wanting the services of fred dibnah (you won't know him- just google, but even then you won't get it!).

Either way. I like the style of this. visually expansive . a bit of a change from the cliche of rainbows, pots of gold and such.

I enjoyed reading this... the intensity is almost overwhelming. Great Write and thank you for sharing it. I keep telling myself to keep believing in someday because someday what is meant to happen will.
