Behold the power, I keep in my hands

Many battles won, my magic, grand!

Villagers come, they seek, no doubt

Their wishes granted, but not without

A promise, to me, they must vow to make

Lest they feel the pain, make no mistake

Into toads, they will change, of this I exhort

I’ll add them to my own human wizard warts

The ones I use freely, to cast dastardly spells

I’ll grant no more wishes, they shall be quelled

Take heed, before journeying, through my land

You’ll feel cruelty, not pity, under my command

I think it was just a century ago

Yes, I’m certain it wasn’t much longer

When I cast the spell of fire’s light

Twas then I became much stronger

 

Making colors dance, in rhythmic circles

While, below, Earth lit up the night

I stood high, above the mountain tops

Watching clouds, with mysterious light

 

Magical spells, calling forth my sisters

Let them rise in celebrated breath

Let them shine their light, in the darkness

Giving purpose, to their immortal death

 

I could feel my sisters, gathered around me

One’s who had passed, still in their prime

Banished by those, who misunderstood

I knew know, it was nearly my time

 

This promise, I make, to those before

I will never let you be cast aside

For you are the fire, burning in my soul

The reason you shall never be denied

Whatever was a little old witch to do?

She couldn’t get rid of her warts

Trying all manner of magical spells

These hideous things, she couldn’t thwart

Bibidi bobidi, they just didn’t work

Both abracadabra, and alakazam, fell flat

One more try, before completely giving up

Turned herself into a frog, just like that

Cast me a spell, that sets, like a fire

Flames in the darkness, my truest desire

Words that shadow, as the night closes in

Allow me to follow, when the spirits begin

Their incantations, to darken the light

The wakening of Luna, full and bright

Cast me a spell, my one true desire

The moon, my soul, to wickedly conspire

The Wizard ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

Has anyone seen the wizard

Who was standing near his spell?

He left the candle burning

And as far as we can tell

*

He took the things he needed

Kept neatly on the shelf

Turned the page, and chanted

Then disappeared, himself

*

No one knows what happened

Or what he actually did say

They only know the wizard

Never returned, that fateful day
