Under the spined, thorned Tower

Now, the captives sleep

Under a tower of grey

Covered in rags, to keep

The cold of darkness away

  Oh, poor hostages, held by chains

Pulled by hands of invisible strain

Trying to smile but oh, in vain

For the binds shackle them to their pain

  But soon the captives shall be awoken

And soon the torture shall begin anew

For the souls held and chained together

Shall remain chained and held forever.

My beloved husband is napping in his chair after a long and stressful week. On the…
