Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book opens, once again

Glows in a fiery orange flame

Speaks to me, calling, a name

Who is it, I begin to obsess?

Has it come, for me, to possess?

A spark of desire, from within

Incantations, will now, begin

I watch, the fire, burning bright

Embers seeking, in mid-flight

Touch my skin, no burn I feel

Awaken, but this, was oh so real!

Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book closes, once again

The Apples of Wrath – #MayWriting – #poetry

A fiery apple, she quietly lures

Outside the town, nobody did notice

To her advantage, she uses a spell

This gypsy girl, mysterious poetess

Chanting rhymes and incantations

He falls for her, much to his chagrin

She knows exactly how to charm

But the fairy tale would never begin

Anger holds her tighter than love

He is doomed, in the aftermath

Never to see home, again, he is done

Easily bitten, by the apples of wrath

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

The Century of Certainty ~ #MayWriting #poetry

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

Witchy Warts ~ #MayWriting #poetry

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
