Premium Member The View Without a View

sun bleached porch swing creaks
             a crow scolds a calico

            bird seed turns to dust

Tingles, Twinges, Creaks
    signs that don't need to speak
   of time's effect on our physiques
     Tingles, Twinges, Creaks...

on tip-toe, into
the darkness, a-ha! the cash!
he stumbles, door creaks...
waves of guilt, waves of terror
engulf him, nerves shot, gills green

Premium Member Silent Traveler

A creaking floorboard that never creaks; clearly something’s here. Feeling like someone’s behind me; staring; chills tapping on my spine. Ethereal spirit traveler, passing through my house.

Runaway House

only a runaway child 
knows the true sounds
of an old house

It is not silent
It creaks and shutters
gives breath at every door

if you are caught
nobody listens to the inside
of a house from the outside

Premium Member Gate To Lamenting


The old ornate rusted gate creaks and groans with my grief and I fall weeping-

Premium Member The Pub

Weak audible creaks from a faded pub sign
Preludes a visual crash, combed by critical eyes
Though the structure was sound
The worn brackets were faint
Flaking words curled and dropped
With the tired peeling paint.

£/$ = the End of the World In the Mind of a Tired Man (I Don'T Understand Long Titles)

almost dawn awake again insomniac counts depression mounts
trapped evil tree creaks birds sing phone cannot ring
twilight drones lethargic moods rotten souls dark holes
moon howls wind roars thoughts blur upon silent air

Spring

Spring sunlight warms distant hills
Soft petals drift across fields
Yet cold winds shake an old door
Door creaks open, my heart yields

The moon
  so hazy
in early winter sky
  fights to break through
  
denied, she
  casts her spell
undercover
  
as a door creaks
  near me 
while streaking
  across the sky

a ghostly hag
  on her broomstick
    ~ cackles

Justice

Convicted witch
Who cursed the rich
Will strangle in
A rope-choked grin.

The gallows creaks!
Before two weeks
The duke she named
Collapses, lamed.

His crops decay,
His hair grows grey,
And two weeks more
His lips froth gore.

Awake ©

white clouds of dogwood
geese trumpet beside the pond
bird song heralds morn

hollow makes a nest
dainty dwelling slumbers on
in the wooded gloom

screen door creaks open
smoke swirls from the chimney mouth
cabin stirs awake ~

Premium Member Too Paralyzed To Run

Black
silence
wakes me up
spooky feeling
my heart beats eighty miles an hour

who and where I am does not register
hyper hearing
kicking in
fast heart
fear

noise
sudden
startles me
outside door creaks
too paralyzed to run I wait for it

Desert of Youth

“Nip and tuck” her surgeon says,
crow’s feet on the run

Tighter skin on feathered whims,
botox zero-sum

An ageless wonder creaks inside,
bones preserve the tale

And when she smiles her lips on fire
—wanton to regale

Premium Member Night Pulse of a Forest Ground

night pulse
weird creaks
dim shapes
move neath
tall trees
ferns   vines
pits mounds
of trees
that fell
time has
claim with
moss mats
lie low
small bugs
mice stir
earth floor

Premium Member Footsteps On the Stairs

Dark Terror Creaks and groans Trepidation Merciless sea winds Unrelenting shrieking Cold with fright under duvet The stairs move with heavy footfalls The door handle moves, I'm rigid with fear Familiar voice informs 'it's a foul night'.

Premium Member Heart of Ice, Thawed


               long-locked
door of the coldest of hearts
                                    - a curmudgeon's -
    creaks open with a touch
                                       thawed, at last
    by the warmth of sunlight
        a new puppy brought

This Place

Still 
Of night.
My house creaks.
Speaks with noises.
Tells of memories.
Holidays often shared.
Many pets have come and gone.
The sweet aroma of this home.
One child to leave this lovely address ~
We have been blessed to live in this place.

Neither Nor


a door creaks inward,
the sky folds in, saying not leave
nor enter 

not lost, not quite returned
my hands forget their kedge,
stillness 'neath the murmur

somewhere between blur and flame
a yes dissolves into never,
I mistake the hush for an answer

The Threshold

My door is made of solid bronze
but doesn’t have a lock

Patina’d with the stain of blood
from all the battles fought

It swings upon a rusted hinge
and creaks when open wide

To welcome back the future-past
the present safe inside

Silent Green

an silent green comes in between, when you do cross the doorstep, the lampost leans, creaks quiet obscene, should i just take one more step, or depart from terrors sheen, of Russells 'Green Aura scene,' i'll take not one more step, between... thanks: Russell Sivey.... Don
