//------------------------------// // Thorn // Story: The Spike Poem Anthology II // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// He calls me Thorn. And has since we were born. No one knows about me. Not Celestia, not Luna, and certainly not Twilight. He keeps me chained but sometimes will reach into the darkness Into my domain where I haunt My scythe reaps My lion’s mane of knives Stained crimson He reaches out to touch me. If only a moment. For I am the ink of his quill That writes his deepest truths Bleeds life into his dull words. Does he fear me? I couldn’t say. Perhaps, he fears himself? Or the wonders we could do Together.
