A Yorkshire Mansion

A Yorkshire Mansion

A Poem by R E Tree
"

A piece of writing can be scary and exciting at the same time.

"
A godly presence 
With a sensual touch

Light footsteps

Breath...

Just breath
.
.
.

A shiny black door
A strange creature
Holding a one and a zero 

A cruel look into my eyes
Neat cuts so deep
This is my home

Sharp and formal 
The motivational drive

A powerful lead
A royal blue, I seek

I’m within your insight
So burn me with your warmest light

Welcome me in
Let the horror speak

Inside this torment

I was a leader
Now I walk upon the Yorkshire ground 

Find me standing on grassy hills
A voice, I hear 
Speaking towards me 

Come here 
I see it now

Pull me in 
Too absorbed to let me go

Fill me with your words
I’ll be your blank, vivid canvass
Or a fresh, lined page 

I found you...

Crept inside my solid, open door
That last, starry night

I’ll treat you

As long as you don’t finish this piece 

This madness
Is still written about me 

I walk up these stairs 
Light fading into darkness

I’m watching you from afar

Follow, follow 

This is not your death just yet

I haven’t risen from the hell

It was all over the street
Back downing 

I’m glue 
Sticking to you

Race me 
Every vote counts 

And the end is near

Reach out 
Don’t let me get away

Crawl into my garden
Stare through the window

I’m in a mansion 

A few miles 
And we are through...

Thank you for taking your time to read my poem.
My, my, the menace, delicious menace. This bears reading and re-reading to commune properly with it, there being many a twist within it. I am taken with the one and zero. Will think on ... and ... on
