The House That Jack Built

by Mark Miller © 06/15/2014 Signs stained white written by twilight's blacken Knight, Raining silent sights depressants drown the conscience might- Feeling venereal waves sullen air on standing skin shivers Ridding stallions frailty of fear scorn folly appears, Warning scent of scowl substance - Seeking in cause and effect applies not in this lullaby, For the mind belongs to it's own song and dance- Willow trees weep beside the empty fractal houses, An ethos fills body's soul with a depraved dreadful chorus- In jostle of moments lined faster a hurried escape from felt hidden disaster, An alter of one espousing blight of blithely blister- Sympathetic one of other removes contents in empty pockets, Seeking aloft allusions in solutions left lied ring-let- Daemonic cutting deciphered experimentally- Winding winded two halves distract obvious facts completely, Attics into Usher's velvet windows asunder lightening's thunder, Horror's glory retreats toward sisters end read story Lightening revealing THE frighting fury hour- Days of three seal homes sickened manner strayed lost honor, Violins play chimes of melody clocks delay frayed fractured decay- Answered doors store stealth terror of sores Whispers in absent scenery closures presents history- Sickle red sorrow drowned disease roams hallways demented path of jester become, Pallor color companions eclipses my natures being to be- Capacity particulars a ghastly gloom Thus is our dissolution for reservations inside our Mansion of Doom-?

I feel that you have experienced a lot of pain and sadness. I can certainly, unfortunately relate, so well. You sure create beautiful works of art though. I find it helps ease the pain.. even if just a little.
