heart of stone
tower walls that distance
and keep out
the trespassers of our souls
no entry
no exit
a chamber of emptiness
filled by fear
keepers of the tomb
lovers of the gloom
in the darkness we reside
in sadness we hide
be on the lookout
be aware, for thieves
come at night
or day
locked up
in my minaret
i keep a weary eye
i let nothing in
trusting nobody not even
myself

be on the lookout
