NOT THE NYMPH!

 

Frankly (and I am

Frank

I don't desire much

not even to leave

this musty, crusty

cave I call home..

No more shall we weep

Dew on the winter web

becoming ice crystals

dreamcatchers for the

invisible dread when

her cheeks blush red..

A stunning exercise for my imagination. And, believe me, the payoff was huge! Amazing.

I've read it thrice and probably a few.more.times after posting this and still.concocting meanings bit they all boil down to the blushing cheeks to.which I will call a romantic line, I looked for monsters and peep holes but could find it to make sense so I just kept enjoying the maze over and over again with all its secret passages and dead ends. Thank you sir, a nod to you. A great way to pass some time reading your head but only ending up reading mine. Well played... well played!
