Drunken fences flaking, leaning
lead the restless reckless footsteps
deeper onward over thresholds
where the daylight doesn’t enter
deep within the crumbling walls
where only fearsome curses dwell
In dreams of grim complexion.

Thanks for sharing the amazing drawing Mike and those scary words cleverly showed somewhere that folk like me would not like to be on a dark ghostly night - - - an excellent posting.
I wouldn't want to be there either. as for the sketch it is a great venue and I've attended several functions there. Thank you so much for your continued encouragement Fay.
I have been to a few premises that fit your poems description, I'm not sure what it is but there's a distinct difference to the feel of classic old building's,
really liked the enticing simplicity and flow of your writing in this one, wonderful read

Love the way you lead us into darkness to deliver that final punchline,
Thanks dusk - nothing like a good punch in the dark. I've got a great recipe.

Poem, and drawing? Are you going to add color to it?
It was done as a specific commission and the client wanted a pen drawing - can't add colour as it's no longer with me but I agree it would look good with the addition of a few washes. Thanks for looking in and your kind comments.
