Your Poetry Dot Com - Fatality Of A House

Array ( [sid] => 52 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fatality Of A House [time] => 2002-07-11 06:38:42 [hometext] => This house was totally neglected by the family who had lived in it! [bodytext] => 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.

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.
