The witch and the Peacock

Was with  a salacious witch

      with amazing quick silver tongue,

Confidence personified

   she challenged me to chase her,

If I so wish, not in words.

 Her liquid eyes and gestures,

made me mad with pleasure

by the time we reached the peacock hill.

Peacocks, big  blue eyes painted on feathers,

   each, was in love with her, it seemed.

Danced vying with each other,

 to please her, while she winked at me.

As if to say"They'll **** each other

  to get my glad eye"wouldn't I feel jealous?

 

 

Helpless, I did surrender to her spell,

 like others in the line, in my front and back.

When just one touch of her index finger,

  would evoke magic, I'll get

Transformed to a young peacock

 of  exquisite beauty, with blue green plumes

none have ever seen before,to flaunt at

others of the ilk, on seeing it they'd back out.

 

 

Such a witch is one of a kind,my mind

    whispers, it's she who assures me this,

On the full moon night, due in a week

    we'll fly to the far away  hill where

She'll be with me helping to build a nest,

turning to a peafowl herself,

She'll lay a dozen eggs,

yes, in  to my ear, she says, this is only later,

h

When, she with index finger will

   gently touche me and proclaim, thus:

"This is the peacock I enticed and

   with my witchcraft ,bound for life"

Notes

In the middle ages overt sexuality of women sorcerers caused the fear that witches steal, penises from males and keep in boxes.as souvenirs.Such fear is rampant even in present day Africa.

What a chance trek with a mercurial witch who offered to be the  guide to a  peacock hill, would evoke?
