Black Mansion

Walls covered with paper,
To hide the secrets of a murder,
Done long ago.
As you could still see,
where the blood did flow.
Of a woman who came at the wrong time to say hello.
The full story has never been told,
With the house that has never been sold.
Still wearing the back paint,
Some windows now are alittle taint.
Nothing has been changed,
Nothing has been removed,
Concealed inside are secrets that can never tell,
About the woman who took the true story,
All the way to hell.

A Deep, Dark, tale. Well written and held my attention. You might make a great mystery writer as well as a poet. Loved the building tension. Welcome to PoetrySoup. I've been here since 2010.

Man we're going to have to go get her girl! A chilling tale in countless truths; cold cases, missing loves without traces ? Yet, if indeed their stars are not too far nor her sea it's depths too deep; ever to hide from, `HIS KING OF LIGHT`....Then surely We hold these Love's keys!
