Empty hollows

Empty hollows

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Hollow are the walls
That no longer speak,..... silent.
Where the fireplace raged with desire
Replaced; blackened, dark thoughts.

Desolate are the rooms
Where once love dwelled
Splashed on walls,.... colour
Now vacated.

Empty echoes travel
Through deserted hallway
Where love frolicked like the wind;
A tunnel of love, once whistling
Through the doors of love,... closed. 

The floors whisper in creaks
Of a love once running thunder.
No longer does the blackbird sing
As the dark black raven
Perches on broken gate.

The atmosphere hangs heavy, cold, 
Empty, no longer lit by sun's rays.
Death displayed, the window
In a vase, a flower no more.

A haunted house of memories; 
Decaying remains of once was.

When two make a home and one leaves (passes away or runs out of love) then the house becomes hollow, just as you have described it. A darker write than your usual, Andrew, but I guess as we move on in life and those around us pass on or vacate their relationships for whatever reason, a home loses its loving splendour. Well-written, my friend!

Yes, indeed, my friend.
A lovely descriptive free verse Andrew, which so vividly depicts a home once shared with a lover who has now left.
