The Gift of Magic

Some people think I’m a
normal person; I appear
to be that way, but deep
within me lies bubbling
energy, warm like a crackling 
fire far hidden from view;
its embers glow red like
blood that does not flow.
I know many words that seem
far apart from the world but
still they dominate my mind
like waves on the open sea.
They can cause harm or 
simply heal the meanest of
injuries; even cursed bites
from creatures that only
whispers can provoke.
My hands can create swirls
of light, fire, wind or
earth but all of differing
intensities.
Magic brews within me;
some say it is a gift while
others condemn it like something
to be considered sinful and wicked.
Still, I have magic brewing within
me and nothing on this earth
can change that; is it a curse?
I do not know.
Magic will be cryptic and forever
concealed but someday, like the dark
surrendering to light, I will share
the gift of magic with everyone regardless
of common spite.

Wicked Witch

When the feeling dwells
the wicked witch
will cast some spells

of 

love
evil
luck
And
revenge..

Feeling unhinged

She sits

In her little cottage
mixing her toxic brew

Of toads warts
and
frog leg stew

Don't cross her path
or she'll come after you

Turning you into a wolf
at the moon you'll howl

Letting victims know
a witch is on the prowl

Trappings of a magic essence
held allured by her presence

She'll drink you in
and spit you out

Planting thoughts
you can't live without

inviting you to play
once you agree
you won't get away

Now she's got you
the beast and its pray

casting magic upon you

in 

her 

wicked 

way..

Mystic Magic Land

Far around the tree
Is a sea
With a fish
This fish
Has wished
For a clam
The clam 
in the fish
Has a pearl
And a man
In mystic magic land

There a bean
Lies in scene
With a boy and a giant
The giant so mean
Ate the boy
So lean
Defiant
Now the man
Takes said pearl
Away he runs
From clam
In mystic magic land

Burglary
Blasphemy
Man runs
From clam after he
Now he meets giant hungry
The man
Ate the giant
Coarse as sand
Away he flew
Crooked man
With the boy, the giant, and the pearl
In hand
From mystic magic land


The Death of Magic

The herald-mage raced
To the sacred place
Where Mystery and Magic abound.
He threw down his wand,
And broke the fierce bond
That gripped the village and town.
He knew that after
He’d courted disaster
The price, indeed, would be high.
But he never imagined
That such a reaction
Would cause all the Magic to die.
He climbed mountain high
To where earth touched the sky,
Above where the valley unfolded.
He called upon gods
With gestures and nods
And with voice both enraged and emboldened:
“I command thee this night
To return me the right,
The power of Magic to hold!
For without the Magic
Everything would be tragic;
Return!” he cried loudly and bold.
Then as night stole about
He began to have doubt
That the gods would the power return.
And indeed, with long thought
They almost did naught
But as morning sun brightly did burn,
The gods all agreed
And did swiftly decree
That Magic was needed again.
So with powers restored,
And new wand on board
The mage did return to his den.
He may be there still
At the foot of the hill
Protecting his land and kin.

Three Magic Rocks

Three magic rocks

Written By Dean Masciarelli

November 12, 2009 (8:34pm)


I held three magic rocks in my hands

That I found in an old building
that looked like a castle

And I started rolling the magic rocks
over and over 
and over again through my palms

And this is when everything 
became absolutely amazing

Because they would 
allow me to 
to travel through time

But they would also 
give me the opportunity

To do something

That would truly 
benefit  
all of man kind

So I took a leap of faith

And I went into a new  
dimension 
and a different realm 
in space and in  time
with my three magic 
rocks in hand

And I went into the future
without any problems

And I avoided everyone

And I went to the 
largest library 
that I could find

So that I could find 
a cure
for every disease 

That is out there

And when I found 
what I needed to find

I gathered all the information
that I would need 

And I took all the information
back to the present time 

And I found a Doctor that I could trust

And I gave all the information to him

Because I knew that he had 
the peoples best interest in mind

Because it wasn’t about 
riches or glory or fame to him

Because he already 
had everything

And all I wanted in return 
from him is that he would 
never reveal my name to anyone

Because I didn’t 
want the recognition

And if he did 
mention 
my name

I reminded him

That I always 
had the option

To go back in time
by just a few days

So that I could give 
all the information
to someone else 
who was more deserving

But he never revealed my name

And he always kept the peoples
best interest in mind

So my job was done 

And that’s when I made the decision

That if these three magical rocks
ever got into the wrong hands

That it could mean the demise of everything

So I decided to put them all back 
where I had found them

I do wonder if someone else would have found 
the three magic rocks like I had
if they would have done the same things that I had done
or would they have done something that would only benefit them?
