Literature Text

Red velvet curtains hover over the sky
like evening chameleons it'll change --navy blue
with glitters all bunched in one single row;
When the pin wheels starts turning, that's when I'll know.

White roses blooming will wither in hindsight
like stale vintage houses they'll blacken with gloom.
And in the wind, dance-- their petals all torn;
When the pin wheels starts turning, that's when I'll mourn.

The garden keeps sighing since 'silence' is home.
Absence keeps looping and memories, they roam.
Through the walls come the voices-- whispering tears
like the breeze cracking humor, they frighten. They please.

The lighthouse comes alive and so will my fears
when the pin wheels starts turning, I shan't be appeased
The seagulls will rest when the sea water leers
And when the pin wheels starts turning, I shan't be appeased

When my loved one comes haunting, I shan't be appeased.
This is a submission for Simply January Poetry Contest , following the theme, "Back from the Dead".

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! ;D
