More on the Creative Side...

A Haunted House or Lifeless Legacy

All obligations lie fault and sorrow on the floor
Tender words have been scraped from these walls
Only ghostly eyes stare hazily out broken windows

Tattered aprons over dusty chairs lie in tranquil silence
Cinders sit on decrepit logs, longing for their flames
As phantom sits on moth ridden sheets for heads of dust

Names whisper themselves within each corner and corridor
Faces hide from glare of sunlight, from portraits they fled
No legacy to leave in stone cold house but these haunted walls
