MY DREAM HOUSE

A haunted house outside

Witches on guard for strangers

Projections of fire ‘nd skeletons hung high

To look like the place where ghosts reside.

 

Let it be termed by children ‘A Ghost House’

Be it dark and lonely outside

Serving as castle for the ghost king himself

Dressed in dark, evil and purple dress.

 

But let it be a paradise inside

Songbirds and angels singing high

Filled with the aroma of rose and sweets

To be the heaven I wish it to be.

 

Bonsai trees bearing silver, ruby and gold

Stuffed in cherry blossoms painted with snow

Be it a paradise of unrivalled beauty

Fit to house the king of Gods.

 

This is the house how I want it to be

A house which scares thieves away

But matches all my comforts just the same

This is my house, where I want to be!

  4. Dear Sahana, excellent work, once again!!! Exterior potrayal was scary, but the interior manifestation was appealing!!! The choice of words made it complete and clear reflection of the dream house. Best wishes!!

  5. Amazing ! It captures high philosphy. ‘To be the heaven I wish it to be’ and ‘A house which scares thieves away’ and ‘Fit to house the king of Gods’ and ‘Serving as castle for the ghost king himself’ are full of beautiful combinations! Another Austen and Mahadevi Varma in the making! Keep it up
