Love Potion

Welcome my dear what can I do you for? I offer spells and charms galore A love philter you say? I know just the thing When I am done to you he’ll cling When sun takes its bow at the close of day In a place where ocean waves meet bay Let curtains close to mortal sight Behold desire’s flame ignites Employing drift wood in the sand Inscribe his name Feel heart expand Stir 3 times in clockwise motion Whilst we brew this lover’s potion A drop of blood a strand of hair Will free you soon from your despair You’ll feel the warmth spread through your being You’ll both find this most agreeing Feel wind’s breath upon thy cheek Sacred words you now must Speak Tell the Earth, the wind and fire Inform the water of your desire Let Cupid’s compass spin once more For His benevolence you must implore East and south West and north Spirits of seduction I call thee forth Hark to the rhythm of the drums that pound Thrashing out the heart beat of the one to be spell bound Whilst the bonfire slowly dies Images flash before his eyes Untie him now He will behave I have cast a spell He is enslaved Hit him now with passion dart And then my dear you have done your part All that’s remains is for you both To gulp it down Let’s have a toast Before you do you will pay me now There are others who need me anyhow His Affection will grow like weeds I must away now to do good deeds Will my enchantment stand the test of time? I hear you ask, Well they’ll be just fine Sleep now children in my domain I promised to free you from your pain Their lust will last eternally Till I dump their bodies in the sea 17th October 2019 For love potion poetry contest Sponsored By Julia Ward
