The House of Eternal Night: An Elegy of Spectral Love


Welcome, dear readers, to a hauntingly poetic world where shadows dance and despair echoes through every corridor. In this solemn WordPress post, we delve into a chilling verse inspired by the macabre genius of Edgar Allan Poe. Prepare to be captivated by the enigmatic allure of a house shrouded in eternal darkness—a place where souls are ensnared and secrets reside. Join us as we unravel the tapestry of poetic horror, where the spirit of Poe lingers and darkness reigns supreme. Enter, if you dare, the realm of this gothic masterpiece and let the words of despair and melancholy guide you through the House of Eternal Darkness.

In the heart of the waning moon’s silver crest,
Where gloom and shadows make their humble nest,
A mansion old and grim rises in the west,
Its secrets silent in an eternal rest.

Through the veil of mist and the paling light,
Its silhouette, an eerie, ghastly sight,
There it stands, the House of Eternal Night,
Its walls echo tales of unending fright.

Listen close, the wind carries its cry,
A mournful sound, enough to make the stoutest sigh,
As if souls in torment tell a woeful lie,
A tale of sorrow beneath the moon’s eye.

In its halls, darkness, a spectral array,
Where echoes of laughter have long gone astray.
Dust-covered portraits of nobles in their day,
Their eyes hollow, faces pale and gray.

Ghosts of gilded age in cobwebbed attire,
Dance in the ballroom lit by ghostly fire,
Their voices silent, trapped in the mire,
Of time’s cruel jest and death’s cold quire.

In the silent study, ink has run dry,
Quills lay abandoned, under the spectral sky,
Tomes of knowledge, their wisdom a lie,
Words powerless against the passing of nigh.

Up the creaking stairs, into the tower’s keep,
Lies the mistress’s chamber, where none dare to peep,
Her spirit lingers, lost in death’s sleep,
Her tale a mystery, secrets she does keep.

In the moonlit mirror, her figure does appear,
A silhouette of sorrow, a vision of fear,
Her eyes empty voids, a gaze so severe,
Her cry pierces the silence, a sound so clear.

In her hand, a locket of pure gold,
A relic of a love story, centuries old,
A tale of passion, of a lover bold,
And a heart left alone in the cold.

In her spectral heart, a wound remains,
A scar of love, the echo of old pains,
She walks the halls, bound by ghostly chains,
Her lament a melody in the mansion’s veins.

Her lover gone, in the jaws of death’s grin,
His memory, her torment, a reminder of sin,
She yearns for his touch, his warmth within,
In the House of Eternal Night, love’s requiem.

Through the shattered glass, the moon does peer,
Casting shadows that dance and leer,
An audience to the mistress’s tear,
Her sorrow, a symphony for the ghostly ear.

Oh, the House of Eternal Night, in its haunting glow,
Where the echoes of the past in the wind do blow,
Its halls, a theatre of spectral woe,
A monument to love’s cruel blow.

In the heart of the waning moon’s silver crest,
Where gloom and shadows make their humble nest,
A mansion old and grim rises in the west,
Its secrets sealed in an eternal rest.

Do you dare to venture into its sight?
To the mansion wreathed in the eternal night,
To hear the tales of terror, of love’s lost fight,
In the heart of the waning moon’s pale light.

So, tread lightly, under the moon’s cold gaze,
In the house where ghosts of the past graze,
For in the heart of the night, fear does raise,
Tales of sorrow in the spectral haze.
