Black Magic Potions

Black Magic Potions Across vacancy memories invoke forgotten years Exodus from antipathy inscrutably liberates fears Intransience spiritually battles amoral challenges Crucially revitalized measures presaging changes Deceptions obscure lies within fraudulent sleeves Bringing adversaries down indictments aggrieves Justifications echoing beyond overpowering roars Unlike forsaken vessels reality lands upon shores Probing mortal frailties evading blind perceptions Enlightenment transcend old black magic potions Delusion transmogrified into vanishing blemishes Swept along eroding waves of abandoned wishes 09/11/2013 Aboard cruise liner: Splendour of the Seas

Lost my dictionary; ran to the library. Couldn't help me with your write: Too literary. Am now at the apothecary. He's sending me to a confectionary... Oh, well...

And don't forget Gershon that your superb rhyme is like a freshly minted dime, like bubbly sparkling wine. Divine!...ab

Hahaha! You're too smart to be needing Webster's book. In any case, I appreciate the laugh, Gershon! Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year to you and your family Don't forget the chocolate bars! Shalom...ab

I think we could, probably, use some good old "black magic potions" these days.

Come to think of it, you have a good point Jim. Most logical and scientific methods applied have not been working so far. At this stage, we can only hope for the best. Thanks for stopping by!...ab

I have always dealt with the frustration of transient spirituality. As soon as I am fully aware of its presence it vanishes. I'm caught up in an endless chase. Great write! Happy Holidays! Robert
