Weathered and Gray

Weathered and Gray

 

Abandoned house weathered and gray

Sadly stands in the distance

Hearts of love once filled its walls

Now empty it reeks of decay

 

 

Children once played on its floor

Their giggles echoing under its roof

House that once stood shiny and white

Laughing voices are heard no more

 

 

Standing in the shadows of a distant past

Feeling the love that was in the air

Hearing it sing of love long gone

Love's sweet magic didn't last

 

 

Standing on the outskirts of a poetic rhyme

Feeling the magic that was once inside

I smile with each stoke of my brush

Capturing its aura that is lost in time

 

 

Abandoned house weathered and gray

Wind whistles through the cracks

Still, its weathered beauty fills my eye

On the landscape like an antique bouquet

I can imagine this very scene on many a roadside, but to write about it brings the beauty into the eyes of the reader. Well done.

It has everything; description, elegance, beauty and most of all, the poet's heart.
Magnificent.
