|
Dust fills my Mouth with a Timeless Poltergeist Rapping |
|
Lightly upon a Dusty Door; |
|
It Locks the Days together |
|
Yesterday |
|
This Artefact wasn't rightly so. |
|
Flanked by Shelves incorporating me into their Lonely Dream, |
|
I search for Tremors lying Weeping |
|
'Neath the Broken Tiled Floor |
|
Weeping with a Broken Madness, |
|
Weeping for the Day Before. |
|
Tarnished Silver in the Cupboard soothes |
|
The Fathoms of my Aching Silver Beard; |
|
Like Shining Eyes scoured by |
|
A Sour Creaking Gait, |
|
Cataracts dim the |
|
Eloquence that wore |
|
The Shining Cloak of younger Pride, |
|
And This was Long, |
|
Long before their Careless Keeper died.A Revenant spread its Foul Curse to Every Living Thing |
|
With Stories trapp'd on Yellowed Pages |
|
By Talismans of Poignant Lethargy. |
|
Tales Twilit bear their Ruin'd Words |
|
To this Ghoulish Scenery, |
|
Slouching over Candlelight |
|
Extinguished in another Century.The Grandfather Clock once Told its Beads, |
|
While Outside the Branches |
|
Bowed their Windows slightly Out of Key. |
|
And this Downstairs, where a |
|
Forlorn Clock has long since Lost its Faith, |
|
And a House's Stale Breath sighs like the |
|
Whispers of a Wraith.Spiders Decorate an Appearance |
|
That stretches Gnarled Hands |
|
Back into a Relinquished Parlour Game; |
|
Wisps of Ghostly Languor hinting faintly of Perique |
|
Ring the Ancyent Air and Fade, |
|
Murmuring of Things Antique. |
