STREET VIEW

Ideas
escaping
like smoke
through a keyhole
and I've misplaced
the key

Others
filter through
cracks in the walls
of a house
that was once
a home

Full of love
and laugher
sounds of life
pervading the halls
and flowers in
the front yard

Impressive
with colours
filling eyes and hearts
with thoughts of the
perfect family

But the
same
key lost
also opens the
secrets locked
away in the
basement

Maybe
we won't look
to hard
to find it

Beautiful poetry.
This verse is so filled with layered meaning.

But the
same
key lost
also opens the
secrets locked
away in the
basement

We all keep the basement locked, fearful of what it containes.

Thank you @wandrnrose7 we all have "stuff" in the basement!

Another quality work. I liked the contrast to this piece, the light and the eerily dark. I found myself thinking of a horror movie, when the menacing music begins to play ... and I start screaming ... "don't go down in the basement" LOL. Glad I found your work on here:)

I like the Poem. I love reading poems coz it really reflect the reality of human's life.

Thank you @princessjoyesto I love being inspired by what I read on steemit too!

Thank you @kanesious

It used to be the closet. Now you need a basement for your secrets?

Don't we all @cecicastor?

I don't have a basement! LOL

You never cease to amaze @cecicastor!
