Blush of Innocence

"A spell cast beneath the moon will not grant what a lonely heart desires." ~Poet's quote She wears the feverish pink blush of innocence But this young enchantress has painted her own cheeks. Her dark eyes, smoke shadowed, she intends wickedness, casting a spell with the mystical words she speaks. As a barn owl watches with intense suspicion, condoning her sorcery with shrill piercing taunts. Poised, she continues with tenacious petition, chanting the words of havoc on the man she wants. Beneath the pallid glimmer of the haloed moon she summons a nebulous mist up from the sea. Then, softly singing a beguiling old fey tune, croons 'til an avian flock appears from her plea. Ravens do the bidding of her archaic charm. With an eerie gleam shining in their beady eyes, they'll encircle the man with their cries of alarm, cawing the curse to make him love her by sunrise. She wears the feverish pink blush of innocence, As a barn owl watches with intense suspicion. Beneath the pallid glimmer of the haloed moon, Ravens do the bidding of her archaic charm.

Oh, the things some will do for love...It was headed in an even darker direction until I chased some of the raven away. LOL Thanks, Tom, for your unwavering support.
