This House

Clouds are weeping at my door
Puddles tearfully trickle in
Moonlight falls, whisper thin
 
Shingles chatter on the roof
Winter sends her lonely kiss
Restless winds, a soulful hiss
 
Tousled twigs caress the windows
Shattered leaves sorrow down
Willows writhe, orchids frown
 
Shutters sigh outside these walls
Thunder moans in evening gloom
Wilted love, she cannot bloom
