    The Fall of the Ivory Tower

    She's a tower of strength
    She's pure she's divine
    Her skin is pale as the stars
    Her heart's colder than ice

    She's a beauty crafted
    With hard words and steel
    Her hair is blacker than coal
    Her soul broken and sealed

    She's falling face first
    Headed straight for the ground
    She's trying to win
    Her emotions unsound

    She runs from her conscience
    Afraid and alone
    What she used to be
    Now forever is gone

    She falls to her knees
    Alabaster turning to glass
    She falters and cries
    Her tears-a diamond surprise

    And now she's free falling
    Spiraling toward the ground
    Giving up trying to win
    The ivory tower falls down

    I love the metaphors you use in this one. The imagery is great and the deep rooted meaning is prevalent thru-out. A very nice piece.

    damn!!!! what a tragedy, what could make such a strong woman fall, what could destroy something as beautiful as strength and confidence (the good kind) ?

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
