Horrid House

Away for a while

But still there

Your senses linger

Through the air

Howls of silence

A gentle feeling

Laughter of anger

Through the ceiling

Painful thoughts

Of things to come

Wondering, thinking

Of paths sought

What will come

Through this journey

Happiness, joy

Or pain and misery

Ghosts still wonder

From ancients past

Getting closer

You see their masks

Scared and frightened

You rush to the door

Locked, bolted

You cannot endure

Footsteps louder

Creeping near

Scan left, right

Nothing there

You turn

A shadow appears

Running as quickly

As your tears

Weeping violently

You smell the air

Blood and urine

Is the atmosphere

You creep forward

And brush your hair

You notice something

That isn’t fair

Hair has fallen

In your hand you stare

Wailing louder

In the dull air

Look ahead

And all you see

Groans occurring

Blood of sea

Run fast

Across the room

Something’s coming

Cannot see

Stumble do not

Or shall be killed

Run faster

Or horror slay

You see a mirror

On the wall

You see your name

On grave been lay

The horror came

And cannot stop

Your life is gone

In hell you stay
