The Secret Door ~ continued

Dark of stormy night
No stars in sight
A sky intensely cold
Tonight there is no moon of gold
Too frail, too old
My hands so icy cold
The keyhole I must find
And get a hold
To unlock this door’s dead bolt
In uneven hand I hit upon
The key within the hole
And as I turn a notch
I hear the ticking of a watch
And the unlocking of a latch
Warily I walk into the darkened hall
My mortal body sustains itself
Up against the wall
Swallowed up in the warmth of home
I search for a match to light the smoggy dome
The light it flickers so and casts dancing shadows
Upon the vacant walls
I suppose this does because the candle lifts and falls
With suspicious wonder how
When there is little air not even on my brow

~ Turn of the Screw ~
WE WERE SOLDIERS
Twilight at Sea
The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.

This sounds quite supernatural, I'm intrigued now Annabelle...
Doors always invite us in, but what will we find here...?
Is there no end to your writing talents?
More! I am intrigued. You paint a vivid and mysterious picture here Annabelle.
Encore!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought you'd covered all poetic territory.....
