House

Broken bulbs scatter the floor
Lights don’t shine in this place
The rooms remain barren
A desolate place door to door

The outside bares layers of paint
Each coat scarred eternally
By the surrounding turbulence
Of an unwavering forecast

The yard lacks a healthy green
Or any color for that matter
While the iron fence around
Prevents entry of most matter

Though it may not be without flaw
It remains a sturdy structure
And has potential to be a home
For the ideal keeper

this could be describing a heart as well...one that is in disuse, abandoned...but still has life left...the walls of the heart strong enough to bear the sorrow of losing love...but it still beats....and thought it has built a fence around itself....it wants someone to break through that iron fence...and be a fixer.
really like this piece, a lot.

Home is where the heart it. It's the people living in it that can turn a structure into a proper home. A little tender loving care can make a huge difference to the appearance. This house has a sound structure, it needs some cosmetic touches to make it more appealing. It's got potential and that is a positive thing. Everyone needs a decent place to live. We'll penned.
