The Attic

Demons seep through the cracks

Of a willow window frame

Their words soft and alluring

As if they sang to me in

Disharmony

Silence

Light sinks in

Reflection of a flame

Once extinguished

By the wind

Casting shadows of faces

So dark its blinding

Intonations of their tongues

Mesmerizing

Worry and doubt

Strung across

Blood soaked pages

Of a book

Left open on the floor

Spent candles surrounding

Crude lines connecting them

Haunting

Welcoming

Is this where I was created?

Some Poems

are fictions or portraits, but does it matter who the poem is about, the voice is the poets. The reader will not have the disclaimer, which may be fortunate. A risk writers take. All poets are liars is my mantra. It is all a fictive thing., writing "it" down.
