The Hallway
I saw you run past the end of my bed
pretending to be a dark shadow
last night
yes i saw you
between the heavy lids
of my eyes
you fly
in and out
through time and space
and i know that you know
that i know
what it takes
you come around here
with trails of the past
the electric light
buzzing around you
making you
enveloping you
enlightening me
you’re the shape that you always were
only prettier
and you set me alive
reminding me that you’re beside me
still
you don’t surprise me
i’ve been waiting for you
and wondering
what took you so long.

The stairways inside the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne have exactly the same style light fitting, white bubbles suspended from the ceiling. I took a photo inside there years ago, but didn’t quite catch what I was hoping for.
This shot works. Nice one, Kitsmumma.
Kitsmumma
Hi Andy, thank so much for your comment. Looks like another world doesn’t it. It is an old house I used to live in that was built approx 1910 (which is pretty old for Australia!) We are only babies here!
Kitsmumma
Thanks Gregoryno6, this light fitting was made out of paper and gave off the best light. Appreciate your comments on my work.

Has an ominous feel.
Bruce Halliburton
Great atmosphere! I can almost hear those floorboards creaking!
Kitsmumma
Thank you everyone for your great comments.
Bruce, they certainly did creak! I used to hate walking down this hallway at night, would always look over my shoulder and always had the feeling there was someone else there.

This is spooky – reminds me of a scene from The Shining.

REDRUM
I actually went to the movies to see that film when I was about 14 and it scared the life out of me!
Rachael Evans
Really sinister…all those doors! I keep looking at it and half suspecting to see something new…that something’s moved or an unexplained shadow has appeared…sends shivers down your spine!
