Notes About The Poem

A poem of stolen love's desires

The Witch

The witch lies conjuring lines of verse
to alter our place in the universe
to twist this common knowing
and spin such miracles as love.

A flash of light and a cackle of laughter
it seems I got what I was after
as your eyes fall on me hungrily
my world now mirrors my dreams.

How bright our future seems.
Then a witches warning: "2000
mornings of love have you ‘til natural 
laws return - death's padlock will be opened 
if the stolen love you haven't earned."

What bitter lessons greed can teach
when we twist the fates to heaven reach.

Perhaps it is always best to earn the love rather than just take it. Nicely penned, Anais. John
