Dust has finally settled where only cobwebs once roamed The inevitable step into vintage decay With warm greetings the late afternoon sun sends shadows Scurrying across cracked vinyl floors, smudged windows and warped doors Silence reigns here. Echoes of fallen drywall interrupt the stagnant patterns of neglect Still and perfect I lay in wait beneath cold glass My state and sleep are unforgiving Time stretches on as the house wonders if it's sleeping beauty will ever be found Whispers of lost cities, buried treasure and prince charmings come and go Still I lie in limbo, a true love's kiss to break my bonds Twilight ascends softly Closing off another day left to a curses desire

Beauty's Patience
Dust has finally settled where only cobwebs once roamed The inevitable step into vintage decay With warm greetings the late afternoon sun sends shadows Scurrying across cracked vinyl floors, smudged windows and warped doors Silence reigns here. Echoes of fallen drywall interrupt the stagnant patterns of neglect Still and perfect I lay in wait beneath cold glass My state and sleep are unforgiving Time stretches on as the house wonders if it's sleeping beauty will ever be found Whispers of lost cities, buried treasure and prince charmings come and go Still I lie in limbo, a true love's kiss to break my bonds Twilight ascends softly Closing off another day left to a curses desire
