Fatality Of A House

I crept through the house,
passing from room to room.
It’s not even fit for a mouse,
this recently lived in tomb.
A house lost from uncaring,
was once someone’s dream.
A musty reek to my sickening,
whispers a cry for self-esteem.
A treasured home of pride,
malformed and desecrated.
Sullied throughout the inside,
scarred from a human horrid.
Light oozed in from a window,
stirring shadows of cracked slate.
I can sense a chilling sorrow,
as decay hastens its optional fate.
Power once electrified its spirit,
now disconnected to lay dormant.
Such a lonely heartrending sonnet,
restored only by an enchantment.

This is wonderful Chuck...exactly what it was like when my papa and momo found an abandoned two story farm house..It was in such disarray I didn't think they would ever get it fixed back to its previous state..but they did and it's just as beautiful I'm sure as when it was built..=) keep up the good work. |
