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

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
