The HAUNTED house - by aneesamuhammad786

At twelve, at midnight
When there is no light
The haunted house
When ghosts do prowl

Sinister the silence
Steals the night
When owls their time
In darkness fight

Through webs and dust
And creaking floors
Shadows of ghosts
With arms do crawl

Swinging doors
And rocking chairs
With fear I tremble
Over books I stumble

I hear it's breath
So close to me
Around my throat
Fingers gnaw

Shrieks of owls
My screams they smother
Eerie laughs
And whispers blend

Numb, motionless
Shocked to the bone
I gasp for air
I'm here all alone
