Richard Cronin Poems

A grand old mansion on a hill
The stately manor stands there still

In the darkness of the night
...

In the hot desert wild
On the high chaparral

The desert blooms a sweet flower
...

On the shores of night
At the edge of light
The poet weeps for his lost love
The old marble statues stand white
...

The poet dealt with the devil
In exchange for his very soul
The devil would give the poet
All the poems his pad could hold
...

Spending time alone, afraid
Pondering decisions made
The reaper walks and the sinners, moan
Collecting dues, before the dawn
...

The Best Poem Of Richard Cronin

House Of Sin

A grand old mansion on a hill
The stately manor stands there still

In the darkness of the night
Throughout the window came a light

On the veranda I did creep
To glowing window for a peek

To filthy pane I pressed my face
To peer beyond the curtain lace

Around the great room my eyes did roam
The king of sinners on his throne

All his minions and demons there
Dancing at this banquet fair

Oh the horror there I spied
In this place where goodness died

In my fright I turned to leave
But felt a hand upon my sleeve

Oh the touch was dead and cold
I shuddered to my very soul

The breath of death was on my face
I could not leave this evil place

My lord; he said invites you in
Ah…welcome to the house of sin

Enter through the one way door
For you may leave here…. Nevermore!
