A Letter To Nyx [f please]

For Nyx
~Facade

To my dearest Nyx,
I would bid thee with "good morrow, darling!"
However, methinks such a greeting is unbefitting
As thou art the mother of Darkness 1 ,
Dweller with the scurrying atomies
Who draw the curtains of Night o'er the worldly sphere.
But alas, darling, I digress,
And mine tongue is not that of a Sphinx’s
So I shall not bore thy delicate ears with meaningless riddles and rhymes;
As of late, mine thoughts have been shrouded,
Shrouded by what methinks is one of thou's ebony blankets;
Even now, as this pen stains the ivory parchment with Indian ink,
As thy radiant Daughter’s 2 grace warms mine skin,
The viscous incarnadine pulsing through
These webbing veins continues to run cold;
Cold as the winter when one should cry,
“Wherefore art thou in favor of the season Death?
I prithee, harsh Mother 3 ,
Allow Spring an early birth!”
Thy darkness imprisons mine blood-organ
As a giant clam would hold claim
To its treasured pearl that shines like an opal
Under the turbulence of sea.
O! Wherefore dost thou torture me so?
Sendeth thy Son 4 to woo me?!
Fie! Fie upon thee!
If thou is truly mine lover,
Wherefore art thou so elusive?
Ah, how I long for thy gentle caresses
Instead of the harsh touches of thy male spawn;
I wish not be a wanton woman.
How’ver, he claims me before thy daughter wakes,
And after thou hast retreated to retirement.
I reject him - I reject him with mine heart!
I only wish for thy gentle company;
The blanket of blackness that shields my heart
From the world’s grotesques,
Thou dost provide.
And for mine darling Nyx - mine ethereal treasure -
I shall provide this soul’s eternal company,
For I love thee.
So, prithee, Dearest,
Do not abandon me.

Facade,

Now this is a pleasant surprise. I love the voice in this, my imagination sparks up as I read it and gives it a tone. And I like the context, it pleads for the heart while still in the construct of intellectual pondering.

Dance~
