The house behind the backyard
Found and lost to macerate
In open fields the shadows lurk
Of interdicted foolish murky souls ...
Shadows lead path to my heaven
The credulous house withal
With soft dripping renditions
And sermons less unattended songs ...
Pause … look … Wait on the road
Hear shallow …. slow profundity
The house smeared with black paints
And impressive impersonated self gains ...
What a folly on a wee bit morning night
The teasing shadows of moonlit sky
Haven of consolation for lonely departed souls
In the backyard of the house with closed doors.

what memories you have, the mysteries of morning shadows, just played like shadow puppets by the night sky. The sun was the perpetrator.
P/s: I have a new story. :D Thanks bro.
A little hide and seek makes beautiful memories during seasons.

Woven into every old house are many of the fabled things which makes it even more enchanting.. though your description of 'loneliness' is very much something I can relate to..

It's so good to be back and see your work, Alok. Beautiful art of words.
I love the story of this house Alok.
Your words describe it with such deep feeling -love the wordplay here. So good to be reading you.
this is all gloomy and mysterious... almost like a haunted house..(I felt)

Ghosty: "The sun was the perpetrator" - I loved that line Shiva, btw I wrote it after midnight and the fastest one that I have written till date (if i remember correctly, I was through with the whole thing in about ten mins) ... no specific memories here, it's one of those pieces that wrote for the heck of writing it ... :)
