in mythos she runs
through hourglass hallways,
sifting through memory's sand.
beauty cloaks a secret heart
as shadows shun the light.
grace becomes,
air inhales,
moonlight brings;
her spirit owns the night.
In a list

again, as in the last poem of yours I read, there is the twining of the spirit of the heart with outer elements ... you do this complex task with flair and tenderness .. the first line introduces the reader who may not even know what 'in mythos' means, to a beautiful being or spirit in the many valleys of time, as though time were a myth or a truncation of life (time as illusion) of which I find a very fertile place to write from and to read from ... this beauty has a secret heart and no need of light, in fact, like nightshade, the most beautiful and mysterious of all plants, this beauty whirrs with life inside its own individuality ... and so the outer life the physical world, especially where the sun reveals the outer surface of thing, becomes graceful ... the final line is pure loveliness
you are really a hell of a poet, ya know?

Again I love the feeling of the last line and the second stanza strikes a chord (the mixing of beauty and shadows....kept secret). Its a poem I wouldn't try to understand in a literal sense but just go with the feelings evoked.

Excellent write here, Sir Stone.

ah, what to say, sparse words, heavy imagery here, (I cannot hear the word "mythos" without thinking of the famed Cthulhu Mythos) and who can say? this is a fine, yet a most mysterious piece of poetry.... I like it a ton!

This is pretty good. A lovely read that inspires quite a bit of imagination. Good work!

Makes me think. I see the night and snow and clouds and...a lot of imagery. With this weird piano music I'm listening to at the moment, it's kind of adding to the ambiance. Safe to say, I like your poem. It's simple, but gets a lot of imagery into your head. What inspired you to write this? It's really beautiful.

Sounds as if there is something to hide. As if that person has to put on a different face, As if that person feels that they can not let anyone see what is inside. I like it very much, it brings out deep thought in me. THANK YOU!
