Incantation

Mockingbird, your twisted song
Of love, and dance, and mirth
Tinge my scarlet heart with white
And give my soul rebirth 
Rest my mind with naive dreams
Give me once a cotton bed
Tell me of my unlit means
And rob me of my dread.
Once your song has finished fast
Leave me on mine own.
Give me hope of death at last.
And so

Premium MemberIncantations

Were every breath an incantation,
Every word a prophecy,
Would I fear more this consternation,
Not writing for anxiety?
 
Were every word a portent, telling,
Every sentence writ, a spell,
Would my mind ever stop this yelling?
Could I my consternation quell?
 
Such large words to write and scrabble,
Though loquacious I am not.
Cease you, brain! this psychobabble,
My brain thinks an awful

Premium MemberArt is an incantation for souls broken in life's storms

Art is an incantation for souls broken in life's storms,
A gateway to realms bathed in the aurora of dreams,
Where deep wounds turn into butterflies of light,
And pains slowly dissolve into a sea of eternal colors and sounds.
In the hands of the artist, the clay of suffering becomes sacred amber,
Each strike of the hammer on the

Premium MemberHer Incantation

Curly red-haired witch had incantations that flowed into the night
Her familiar, an owl, watched them float up and out of sight.
What are you trying for? Asked her cat, who was a sour puss really.
Not sure, she replied. Maybe a dinosaur named Willy or Wheel-y

Don’t you have to know ahead? A bossy wizard asked when he

The Vessel pt 1 - A Blighted Vale II

The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 2/2)

Amongst the dead and dying trees,
A Stygian crypt of crumbling stone
A doorway opened, not with man-made keys,
But forgotten tongue from forgotten tome
This ancient ruin with obscured glyphs,
Gently brushed clean with calloused tips
Whispered words from cracked, parched lips,
Spill forth with unhindered ease—
Like oft spoken lines from cherished

The Indian Dreamcatcher

We live in a world where magic is alive
We live with incantation and the surreal
We live with the charmed and the fay

In a world of magic where enchantment swells
In a world where monitoring spirits roam unnerved
Unhindered wrecking havoc emptying laymen's joy

The Indian dream catcher a thing of beauty
The dream catcher a thing of magic and

Premium MemberLunar Incantation

The light
is not its own, but
caught and passed on
to comfort a darkened world.
It inhabits the lonely places
and where absence
has gone unhealed,
becoming a summoner 
of dreams and visions
as if seeking a form
to manifest something
of itself in the apparitions 
wandering human sleep,
or in a memory
that gently brushes
the mind when still,
or drifting far away, 
as the image
of a

Bless this grandest of days.......
Assist me Lord, to enjoy and not complain!


Only a few humble poems, help me to pen.
Not hunting for comments .......right then!


If body pains do come my way,.....
Let me not like an ungrateful, donkey bray.


Our family day is today.
Three generations to frolic and play!


Thank you for another day to live........
Allow me not

Incantation

peace within peace within peace
dripping with grease
war within war within war
an apple core
love within love within love 
not from above
stir within stir within stir
incense and myrrh
mix within mix within mix
knock them for six
kill within kill within kill
powder and pill
blood within blood within blood
dropped with a thud
spell within spell within spell
it's working well

Kabbalistic Incantation

The light has reached 
us through 
    shattered 
    vessels
             sparks remain in 
our souls
    The scattered lights 
in the darkness 
   ease our pain 
As we touch the infinite

All Hallows' Eve Black Mass Incantation

We Pray in The Name of Our Father Lucifer, 
Which wert in Heaven:

Boil, Boil plague-ridden rats and toads in oil,
With a pair of gleaming snake eyes too.
Mix in fresh hen’s blood and a rabbit’s paw,
With a touch of horse dung and a lizard’s tail too.
Add six cups of Vitriol and

Yoruba Incantation Against the Vampires

YORUBA INCANTATION AGAINST THE VAMPIRES.


Oh you Titans of the other world
Oh you the legend of the unseen
I rise my voice up on to you today
Hear me and accept my supplication;
Attention rules the life of house mouse,
When the loving mother hears her baby crying,
Does she not attend to it? Attend to me today.

You that clad on
