The House

Do you allow the house to rest before you wish to rest for the night?

The house is around you; within, you would like to dwell with decorated ideas

Light depends on what you have chosen- the hues of your mood reflected on walls

Shadows whispering the pensive thoughts; ears lamenting the nocturnal clamour

Alone, the heart pulsates with melancholic feelings but yearns for some pardon

A dull perfume of uninteresting times wrap the house in an uneasy embrace

Subtle senses develop feral instincts to prowl on the eluding realities of night
