My house in me

by Wings Of Flames   Dec 6, 2005


I am a house upon a hill about to face an end,
As the rain spits down my windows pain was also send,
Theyve come to replace me with a house shiny and new,
They are sick of my roof of yellow and my doors of blue,

Another enters and breathes in the stench,
They leave with fists clenched,
The rain pelts harder and the hail touches my paint,
The scars are left and I feel feint,

The pathetic house left way past repair,
So the house so weak feels no one does care,
The weeds creep up the walls of stone,
And capture them so she feels alone,

The old piano inside me plays a song out of tune,
The house is colder in the middle of June,
Where did the love go from the paint of red,
Now only tears are shed,

A wall collapses inside and she only becomes fake,
The floor has fallen in and she doesnt quake,
Fear of people leaving has suddenly on the rise,
Its so great and powerful to knock her down a prize,

The old willows hold her hand as she meets the last day,
She suddenly worried as her curtains start to fray,
Now shes nothing but rubble on the ground so cold,
Her doors of blue now a fold,

Her roof of yellow crushed to black,
Her glass with a crack,
Now shattered and apart,
The piano playing out of tune now broken was her heart . . .

    I like poems that are a bit different, where concepts or words are turned about. I love the way you use language in non conventional ways. Keep it up. You are a true poet. Again, 5/5.

    To be completely honest and blunt, the rhymes were good... but the flow... it was hard to follow.. It could be because I'm really tired.. but I didn't understand some of the lines... such as:
    "So the house so weak feels no one does care,"
    and a couple more... but other than that, I really liked the metaphor... it was very original.. and the description was very well-written.. Keep writing!
