Abandoned Beauty

as the sun streams through the window
on to floor boards bare of comforts
wooden window shutters open wide
sun kissed dust sparkles like rose quartz

a door left invitingly open
particles dancing through the sun light
come, rest and relax a while here
romantic atmosphere lovely and bright

with wall paper peeling in the corners
and the old books scattered about
this untouched so peaceful and quaint
such a great retreat, there is no doubt

abandoned beauty is around
all is decaying gracefully
for nature is claiming it back
slowly falling down peacefully
