Nyx

In Greek mythology, Nyx is the goddess and personification of the night. In Hesiod's Theogony, she is the offspring of Chaos

Echoing whispers, the silence, a maverick

her velvet voice calls, as she bids me to come

I cascade through reason, sanities labyrinth

an ethereal enigma exposed, leaving me numb

A serenade rises, like a dream, in a soft mist

The promise of oneness, to its sweetness, succumb

Heaven and earth created love's solitary kiss

Losing myself, to its wholeness, become

fact or fictionlove poemssurreal poetry

    Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch from "Holy Grail": We are the "nights who say 'Nyx'!" (different spelling, of course) Only what you describes sounds heavenly rather than daft, lol.

  • Awww, this was so wonderful! Loved your take on Randy's prompts!
