Foundations & Frames

Decaying houses resting on crumbling foundations.

Ghostly shadows dressed in remembered riches twirling under flickering lights meandering endless halls.

Echoes of long silenced symphonies whisper of hidden secrets knocking against transparent doors stuck between emaciated frames.

Skeletons held together by silk threads shrouded in layers of dust fading in the sunlight hopelessly searching for kinder times.

Decomposing wonders abandoned by those they once sheltered.

My first published poem...
