AMBIT

 

AMBIT

 

Abominable life obnoxious duty,

Caretaker of a house tag beauty,

Impressionable outer sight glow,

Name the famous mansion to owe, (1)

 

The name is PROMISE hallowed lit,

Bright color floral bedecked hit,

Living here for decades to maintain,

Life single loneliness in disdain, (2)

 

The community bears the cost well,

PROMISE lived the family swell,

Four generations, a century-long,

Most renowned a family life in song, (3)

 

Influential people rich in business,

They spread worldwide impress,

Affluent, educated, artist, thinker,

Family grasped knowledge more, (4)

 

Respected the community liked,

Immense contribution life hiked,

A significant house of the town link,

In a few years, fight families sink, (5)

 

Bitter quarrel irrupted over right,

Right turned misnomer tore tight,

A gruesome sight, violent revenge,

Parents, siblings, direct avenges, (6)

 

Same blood united for a century,

PROMISE sheltered life mercury,

Mercurial the love, care, affection,

Dreaming prosperity commotion, (7)

 

Overflow unity, I served faithfully,

Illiterate knew poison doubtfully,

Suspicion crept stealthily, strong,

Advice interpreted claim wrong, (viii)

 

Accused each other, and inimical,

Trust fades quickly, talk minimal,

Death prowled rooms, suspicious,

One by one, all left, reign furious, (9)

 

Link disconnected cutoff relation,

Fled far-flung cities dent emotion,

The mere caretaker was a servant here,

Knew each family member, fear, (10)

 

Any of them little visited, inspect,

Once tagged PROMISE introspect,

Promised, lived united gold venom,

Doubted the action raze suspicion, (11)

 

Jealousy, cold anger fueled by visible,

Heard the angry voice of life crumble,

The last person in the family gave the keys,

Staying here for years alone but ease, (12)

 

Look at PROMISE beautiful sight,

Flowers blossom in spring excite,

Feel tearful brokenhearted write,

To the great grandfather his right, (13)

 

Still living abroad but request,

He once rebuilt the house to his best,

Squandered his wealth lovingly,

PROMISE stood attractive incredibly, (14)

 

Getting unwell faithful lifelong,

To hand over the keys it belongs,

Ambit to perform as caretaker,

No way possible life is premature. (15)
