Portraits of Evil/That Haunting Lavender Prequel Part 1

You can’t help when passing that old apartment building On the corner of Franklin and Rose avenue but to stop And stare and at the same time, to tremble a bit in reaction To feeling the eerie sensation the structure so readily Radiates, many have wandered about its past, and what Hideous secrets lie within………………….. It was snowing exceedingly heavy On that fateful day The newlyweds moved Into their first home A place where Alexandra Believed dreams would flourish However, the coldness of that day Along with the cloudy overcast Due to the vicious snowstorm Was an undetected omen Gone unnoticed by the new wife But she should have foreseen it Funny how love can blind you Indeed in the beginning The first few months proved blissful Darren her husband Worked diligently on their business The selling of exquisite gems And fine scented perfumes Alexandra busied herself Painting beautiful portraits Of places she longed to see one day When finances were more lucrative But, the foreboding sensation of loneliness That echoed about the air Continued to remain unacknowledged A good devout wife Darren showered her with gifts Especially bottles of fine expensive lavender Even that ominous air of perpetual solitude And cold hovering around was easily disregarded
