Velvet draperies under rose
And diamond light
Semi shaded porcelain profiles
Coexisting inside ornately
Swirling gigantic frames
Frames containing history and character
Of long departed family, friend or foe
Frame upon frame
Dark lashes encircle dancing
Tell-tell do tell, impish expression's
Beseeching sinking smiles
Line up along hollow corridors
Portrait after portrait
With one common denominator-
There'll be no turning back now

I felt like I was in a haunted house or something. It felt so real! Spooky, but good. It's like those Halloween stores that have those holographic portraits; in one spot it looks like the person, in the next, it looks like they've been dead for awhile. Sorry to compare this poem to a Halloween store -_- On to another poem. (I'm staring to get addicted) (o.O) Talk to you later.

Fantastic write! I love the masterful use of rhythm in free verse set off so wonderfully by the tight alliteration. Someone mentioned Victorian and there is certainly an air of that. It warrants reading and re-reading for the sound alone if not for the sense. Bravo!
In response to your kind remarks. I'm thrilled to see there are people who actually enjoy the spooky poems, I love to write.
My family (my husband in particular) doubles up in laughter whenever I try another one on him and my Dad covers his ears as he thinks I'm telling all the family secrets. lol (which I suppose - I am)
I also paint people from the Victorian era as I am fascinated with them. I guess it's starting to show.
