Mira Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Oaken doors creek on dead, rusted hinges Within the deserted house of our love. This building is haunted, by ghosts of ourselves Who stumble and search for each other in the habitual dark. How did we get to this? What unholy host came and drove us away? Why were we so blind to build this house of clay, That melted and crumbled in the cold autumn rain.

Cyril Darkcloud Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 (edited) A striking piece which is driven by several well-developed images. While I'm not sure that the piece as it stands is as effective as it could be, this is a bit of writing with much to recommend it. I'll work on putting together some thoughts for a Critics' Corner post which should be up in a day or two. In the meantime, this is well-worth a bump to the top to give those who might have missed it the first time around a chance to take a bit of time with it. Edited November 9, 2004 by Cyril Darkcloud
Mira Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Posted January 22, 2005 With the help of Cyril's suggestions I've rewriten the second half of this peice. Oaken doors creek on dead, rusted hinges Within the deserted house of our love. This building is haunted, by ghosts of ourselves Who stumble and search for each other in the habitual dark. How did we get to this? How did we let the house, which stood so proud, fall into disrepair? With unanswered questions that poisoned the air. With sorrowful glances of fleeting despair.
