Nephthys

Ashen black bricks, all surround. Nestled in the darkness, Night's silent blackened crown. She owes it all to the light, the solitary glow. Screaming out in protest, draping mist in snow. In absence of light, of Sol, Sun, and sight, nobody would know her, nor call her "the night".

You are so deep. I have so much to learn, or, so much to simplify. Is there such a thing as a "Coffee House Poet"? or, One who passions words from the grass, the wars, and the pain that life proudly gives? I wonder. Fritz Crytzer

Oh my gosh, you blew me away - my heart actually quickened. It is no accident that I met you today (am I right?) and visited your poems. You woke my poet up and I love it when that happens ... here, have another number 7, but hear applause ... CayCay (also gonna do the FAV thing)

Thank you so much for your words, CayCay! A beautiful fate it was indeed. The moment in which the flood gates of creativity open to dispel writers' block, is a magnificent one. Glad you liked this piece!
