The Dark Chambers
I hesitantly creek open the wooden doors
Of the old house on Windey Avenue
Thus Where the witches come out at midnight
Where the wolves howl and bowl at the blinding moon
As rain falls like the clouds once filled with utter emotion
With only the color gray as their hopefulness
In the dark chambers, I step foot through the creaky doors when
I once touch the cracked wooden floors with my stale, weak legs,
As I looked around with bollering eyes,
While I dare not to holler
For the creatures of the night
Will come out with a fright
I sit on the soft bed
One soft as a feather
As I feared the worst to come
Booms of thunder repeated outside
Booms which were warnings of which dusk
Will have soon arose
Where thee must beware
Of the pureness of dusk
I fall upon the cotton-filled covers on the rough mattress
One rough as an alligator’s scales
Thus what would be the point in having fallen, if I had already fallen long before then?
As Behalf of my undesired fate;
I blindly stare at the unlightened chandelier
As I was ready for my instant demise
Thus I was prepared to holler of anything
Which enters through the dark chambers
Of death
And hopelessness
