Spooky

Come in, take off your shoes please
Back there please take your seat
I’ll be right back, I say
As I walk away
The door behind us shuts tight

Walking on your tip toes
You quietly place yourself
On the cold cushioned iron chair
You look left and right
Turn back and find a brick wall
Look back in front
Find yourself gazing into the long thin alley
Behind dirty dark grey sheer curtains

You look around
You find
A leaning tower of pizza tipped over the painting hung loosely on the wall
There is not much furniture, only a small table
Sitting on it old black & white TV
Staring right back at you
With all black and white characters
No loudness, only delayed whispers
As you try hard to lean over
Hoping you’ll hear the voices
But instead you tip over
Underneath the upside chair

Quickly get up, straighten your dress
Put the chair back on its place
Where it left its mark on old plush tattered rug
A deep long tainted sigh
Overwhelmed with trickling fear
Butterflies start to flutter
Somewhere in the center of your stomach

Cling! Sudden deafening feeble sound
Off you jump off your skin
Leaving your body frame
As you see falling sparkling skeleton
From the stairs of attic right above

You look up, eyes popped wide
As you hear your name called
Echoing in the room
And your alert ears
Come my dear, you know the reason
Why you came here
Do I need to whisper again
And remind you of our promise

Clap, look into the eyes in the darkness
Of the stairs of the attic
Your head is now stuck
Looking up towards the darkest skies
Are you still there?
Come see what you are missing?
For this is what precisely you need.
You’ve already made your promise to me
I can’t let you now break it
For if you did I’ll have to open the doors of armoire
You see on your side
And you there you definitely don’t want to enter

The scrawny fingers
Reach out and grab you
You silently shout
Breaking every streak of silence
As you stand glued
To the plush underneath your feet
Slowly the fingers join its hands
Then comes the lurking arms
Followed is the face
Sunk into the body frame
At the end the legs trail back with one foot
One look and, you freeze

Locked inside four walls
No where to hide
All windows and doors have broken latches
Your eyes roll and gaze around
While your head is glued in one place
Perspiration fountains down your skin
Leaving you all sheer wet
Shining diamonds of your sweat
Puts a crown on your forehead

Please don’t
Let me just go
I will, you hear
You smile
But, wait he again tells you
But only if you return
To keep your binding promise you made
To me
For I am the master
The only one
Whom you fear
For I will hunt you down
To remind you for what you said
To me, to me
For I am….
And you run
Through the closed doors….
Spooky someone whispers into your ears
Shocked, again, you turn
And again you see….

    Metaphorically Magnificent!

    There was a certain twist to it. The symbolic fixation was truly awe-inspiring. If there was ever a time where I’ve read something worth reading, that was today.

    Keep penning on and have a nice day.
    Blessed be.

    tantalizing & dreadful!

    This is written by a male for a female? It is confusing, in a way, because I don't connote sexual anything to fright. It sounds halloween like. Spooky, indeed, but also it was sexualized, so the mixture was effective, in that it led someone from here to there, with a commanding presence. I really liked the crown of diamonds. That was REALLY a great word-picture. Wish I had thought od it.
    It started off business like. But magnetized one's attention down and up that alley, all the while riveting one's attention through many tools of writing. I might try one like this some day, just because I read ths...

    I think you could have even written more, as this could be like an epic.- line 80- let me just go - forgot the t. You see yourself I guesas. Interesting write- deep and inside oneself. Very creative and interesting to read.

      Hey Kerry

      Thanks for stopping by again. I'm so happy you enjoyed reading it and you've made me feel really good with such a beautiful comment. Biggest fear of a poet, I think is people misinterpreting the idea hidden and will miss the underlying essence, but you girl made me feel like a poet. Thanks hun!
