You beat against the iron braced The timbres shake but bolts withstand As large this door is as it's thick Your signal still encroaches clear
Sanctuary spouts its shrill Like bells of rotting brass be tolled I can tell you weaken more By every second I lay claim
Some footfalls by the ****** in breath And every ounce it takes To think of whether side will draw Conclusions I foresee
Hushed sobs on other side I hear Not innocence at all The tears are caked in ****** acts As are the palms I fold
They round about and blaze their way Their curses dark and vile To wall or line of lancing spears You are left in ramping free fall
You kick the wood with all your might Desperation burning high As I the listener await the fate Of wolf pack on its hanging prey

I am liking the process of knowing what I have to write; let's me get more creative in other areas [though I don't know about this one.] Challenge information: the-poetry-cafe.deviantart.com Profile: http://monocephalized.deviantart.com/ Theme: Seeking Solace
