Old houses speak Dark secrets they leak Storm weathered Never settled Full of cracks and creeks Antique furniture exposed Wear and tear from past souls Resembled ghost in white sheets Laughter and movement Once known now abandoned Vacant and alone Years of neglect is all that’s shown The occupancy of life long gone Pane- less windows Like eyeless souls Let in only darkness dampness Mildew and cold A door once accustomed of permitting things in Now warns to keep out Refusing its hospitality to extend By chance you pass one's way Or turn there in Its rickety corridors try not to disturb Or its vestiges offend For old houses are sensitive To the vibes we send Old houses speak

Old Houses Speak
Old houses speak Dark secrets they leak Storm weathered Never settled Full of cracks and creeks Antique furniture exposed Wear and tear from past souls Resembled ghost in white sheets Laughter and movement Once known now abandoned Vacant and alone Years of neglect is all that’s shown The occupancy of life long gone Pane- less windows Like eyeless souls Let in only darkness dampness Mildew and cold A door once accustomed of permitting things in Now warns to keep out Refusing its hospitality to extend By chance you pass one's way Or turn there in Its rickety corridors try not to disturb Or its vestiges offend For old houses are sensitive To the vibes we send Old houses speak
