The House

The white shades pulled to half mast, like sleepy eyes… Peeking Rain from the gutters rushing fast, Seems to be… Weeping Doors locked, none shall pass, All your secrets… Keeping A revelation at last, buried bones that were… Sleeping A light flickers on, a gasp, Starts your heart… Beating The souls you've amassed, ghosts through rooms… Creeping

Thanks! I saw a house on someone's fb that looked spooky and the First line described the windows... it did look like eyes that were peeking out from droopy lids...xo
