Horrid House

Category: Original online poems

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
