Behind the red door
mayhem and murder prevailed
dawn broke the blueberry of a night sky
the winds of change blew swiftly.
A wild stray dog paused in mid-stride
sniffing the air, snarling lips curled
mouth slightly ajar, fangs exposed
sensing death with animal instinct.
Horror shook the foundations
of the old brick manor house
with the dirty blood red door
too late for any wet salty tears.
Life ebbed and flowed, slipping away
silently to the musical sounds
of a hauntingly lonely train whistle
passing in the quiet blackness of night.
Evil taking an opportunity of chance
creating a blood-bath surge of frenzy
blood pooled, congealing, dark
upon the cold crisp white marble floor.
Life and innocence were lost for evermore
when mayhem and murder prevailed
behind the red door
a stray wolf hound padded off………
