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..

I thoroughly enjoyed this

I thoroughly enjoyed this dizzyingly brilliant and serene introspection. I was absolutely entranced by the metaphorical enchantment of a dew-laden web turning to ice crystals (the passage of time) which are embraced as "dreamcatchers" for life's inner nightmares.

 

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

I've read it thrice and

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! 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
