*blows the dust off another oldie... *Cough...Cough...*

 

House

*****

A long time has passed

since this place has seen life

felt the pressure of humanity

on it's worn dusty floorboards

 

The laughter in the hallway

has echoed to stillness

The weeping of the eaves

has been silenced by a breath

 

Yes, a long time has passed

since that fast and foolish evening

when the jealous mistress

of love's folly came calling

 

It was a love without boundaries

a life filled with passion and fire

stolen moments, a heartbeat away

embracing the quiet night of flesh

 

A will to preserve the time

to remember it always as this

was discussed in hushed tones

resolve taking form in an action

 

On a moonlit night

love fell into death's cold embrace

Indeed, a long time has passed

since this place has seen life...

 

But the passion will always remain.

You know, I don't care for free-verse poems; they're just not my thing. But this...this is something else, Psimon. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I do like this poem, very much in fact. I especially like the mood and scene set in the last stanza, accented by the final line. Bravo!

 

Sincerely,

Lord Seth Exodus
