Ebony Tower

Just a poem based off a dream.

Ebony tower frosted in white,

Reaching up into the night.

Frozen flakes fall from the sky,

The barren trees slowly die.

 

The large garden now covered in ice,

The years of suffering unknown strife.

Chills in the air touch their bones,

Four young women shivering in reluctance.

 

The snow crunches beneath their feet,

Not a sound do they make as they sneak.

Into the night a lone crow calls,

Shadowy figures dash along the wall.

 

A man's laugh along the breeze,

They have not yet earned a reprieve.

From the shadows two orbs glow red,

Birthing a deep sense of dread.

 

Eyes watching from all around,

The four girls continue to stand their ground.

They refuse to give in despite their fears,

This is the end, no more tears.

 

A lone scream echos on the wind,

Filled with pain, never to mend.

Basking in the blood moon's light,

The ebony tower reaches up into the night.

Thank you for leaving a review! I'm glad you liked it!

Instantly reminded me of the dark tower. Really good imagery

[Arrinae]

I'm glad you like it! Though I have yet to read the dark tower I do plan to. This is based off a dream I had a few years back that resurfaced.

[SonOfPlunder]

Awesome, sometimes dreams give us the best inspiration! Really good piece. And i highly recommend the Dark Tower

[A. Amos]

I absolutely love those verses,  very relateable! amazingly written and well expressed. 

[Arrinae]

I am glad you think so! I had to be very careful with this one and went back over it multiple times to make sure it flowed right and still got the tale across. As I said in the description I based it off a dream I had last year. I'd been wanting to write it doen for a while but had no idea how to start it. I chose a poem to see how it'd go, but I might use it in a novel or story eventually. What do you think?

[A. Amos]

See if you want to make a novel first thing you need to do is make a synopsis, that will do the justice to review and advise... You're most welcome
