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

Let me lead you on a wild escape

Watch the circles turn, and whorl

A wormhole, if you will, my friend

I’ll let the magic fly, unfurl

Where once you stood here with me

Now find yourself far gone

I dare not follow you, oh no

I’ll not take the chance upon

The powerful swirls of light

That reflect in every direction

Chances are, you’re lost for good

So sorry, twas my misdirection

Goodbye, dear one, I’ll see you

Perchance, in another place

Till then, do watch the circles turn

Then disappear, without a trace

 

August Writing Prompt – Wizards and Wormholes – Day 31/31 – This officially marks one full year of Michelle’s writing prompts. She has challenged me every step of the way and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you, ~M! Love you, my friend  ❤

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

Friday Fantasy ~ The Sacrifice

Beautiful maiden
A wizard’s gain
Chaste, unsullied
Bound and sacrificed
Surrendered, discarded
The dark villain, prodigious
Nefarious, malevolent
Taking claim of his bounty
As evil triumphs over virtue

Friday Fantasy – Magic’s Spark

Energy flows
Igniting the night
With a fiery blaze
Awakening the land
Summoning forth
The wizard’s force

Releasing its churn
The mountain screams
With billowing smoke
Stoking the flames
Shattering the calm
Of the demons below
