Hell...(aka Wisconsin)

Silent, foreboding, mysterious
It sits in the ever-dark forest
Past elegance has faded to dust

It¡¦s painful history remains undiscovered
Only the inhabitants know of it
Empty, lonely, quiet

The halls are covered by webs
No light exists here
Windows remain boarded, as if a disguise

Furniture is broken and covered
A thick dust covers all
Fireplaces are blocked by bats

Room by room, this place has suffered much
Tragedy¡¦s presence is everywhere
Sorrow is saturated in the walls and floors

The library contains mouldy books
The kitchen rusty pots and knives
The stairs are broken and missing

Whatever befell this place remains secret
Closed to the world, it wallows in grief
Silent, foreboding, mysterious

Am undecided with this piece....

hey...this was quite a tour. If you are undecided with this piece? You shouldn't be....but I always wonder, where would I go with this, and I think I would find a way to tie the "house" metaphor more neatly with the emotional theme that you strive for. You are an excellent writer, m'friend. Enjoyed this much!

This house is reminding me of some of Murdocks great masterpieces
