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
