Misty summer evenings
Objects seem mysterious
Ofttimes challenging to
Navigate by moonglow
Melodies in the background
Airborne by design
Granting one three wishes
In the moonlit dead of night
Capriciously perhaps
Knowing there's a price

We worship the Sun that’s wielding fire,
be still let the dandelions bloom;
Release the last of the bitter frost
allow a smile to return to your eyes;
Be still let the dandelions bloom,
it may take some time to grant wishes;
Allow a smile to return to your eyes,
all of winter you have not felt free;
It may take some time to grant wishes,
habitual magick is rising,
All of winter you have not felt free,
hibernating just to remain warm;
Habitual magick is rising,
there is a rebirth of young flowers;
Hibernating just to remain warm,
nature sometimes pauses to heat up;
There is a rebirth of young flowers,
release the last of the bitter frost;
Nature sometimes pauses to heat up,
we worship the Sun that’s wielding fire.
Candle wax drips calcified tears,
riptides of dreams burst boundaries;
Drops become circles never squares;
Out of the box locked in a freeze
with rough edges it aims to please;
There’s no hiding their benefit,
claws can rip apart arteries;
That’s the magick of a misfit.
A colorful time of year
The skies are oh so clear
The sun shines bright
For our delight
Longer and warmer days
Welcoming the sun’s blaze
Trees and flowers blooming
Grilled foods we are consuming
Pools opening
Divers motioning
Windows down
Cruising ‘round town
Bicycle riding
Hang gliding
Cliff diving
Race car driving
Trail hiking
Beach volleyball spiking
Early sunrises, late sunsets
Picnics packed with baguettes
Romance in the air
It only takes a pair
First kiss
True love is bliss
Twelve hours of sunlight
Not quite
Some more, some less
Ostara has finesse
Rebirth, balance, and renewal
Spring looks like a jewel
Crystal powers which
Granted thine flower showers.
Glowing lights that shine
Even in darkest of hours,
Brightening this path of mine.
If we have met
We met during Light
In which no sun has Set
That's why I have never found you!
What if we walk hand in hand
Through Lifetimes
What if we recreate Magic
Which we have been living forever
So that Darkness takes over
And we remanifest into Stars
Staring at each other always
But remain Separate.
i saw you
when you
were one
now i want
to saw you
in two to
see if
you're
the one
if after
showing
separate
halves
i can
put
you
back
to
get
her
you
will
be
the
one
I DREAMT YOU
INTO EXISTENCE
WITH MY MIND'S
FERTILE LANDSCAPE
HOUSED YOU
IN THE LUSH PARADISE
CRADLED YOU
WITH THE WARMTH
I BUILT YOU UP
PIECE BY
BEAUTIFUL PIECE
I GREW YOU
INTO BEING
LIKE MAGIC.
Cast out
I blast out
of a cage
that once enslaved
blast out towards
an image worshiped
Big myth, great idol
its you I learn to admire
in the trials, by fire
that taught me
how I should not be
Now I'm lying in the entrails
of the mystical lion
swallowed up by the trend
I believed was worth dying
for, now I am no more; a lost scripture
in this unfolding
vicariously informed the show must go on
everything on edge
by the crash of a drone
how did I find peace
all on my own?
no one can find it
if they're searching too strong
It invades you, somewhat saves you
from the angst and rage
of child's play
adults playing war games
in a dangerous way
everybody staring
blank, in loss of face.
Back you fiends,
Back I say,
Cast ye back
From modern day,
To a time,
Where magic reigned,
To a time,
When hope's no slave,
To a time,
Of magick strong,
Like the verses of a song
Beauty's here,
Not just a myth,
Beacause,
Magick's found
In the past adrift,
And if you can't follow,
Be not abashed,
Imagination,
Is an impossible cast.
Believe in the magick in the power of each thought. For you are like a lovely
flower, growing in a pot. You can do it, whatever goals you have ever sought
and you can grow your roots and widen yourself to a great big plot. And don't
let yourself be put on the spot. And whatever effort goes out is the same as
you have brought. Takes time sometimes, don't get distraught. It'll be turned
toward you every deed or need you've ever bought. Smile,you'll be happier,
that's what I've learned and I've taught.
Depths of imagination,
sometimes dark
The desire inside
Internal trick............
Magick!
Coursing through
Hot and wet...........
You feel it too
Don't slip this net!
Sex tingles
Shiver mingles
Hidden depth
Heart leapt
Fiery heat..........
Tastes so sweet!
Fiery lick............
Magick!
This erotica..........
wrist flick
This exotica..........
Magick!
Wicked ways
Nightly plays
Wicked tricks
Night magicks
Magick verse seven
Wicked me
Wicked you
Coursing through
Magick heaven!
