Wizard of my longing Memory I most prize Did you cast a spell on me beneath September skies? Subject of my deep desire Glisten welling in my eyes You must be my conjured dream My most difficult “good-bye” If salty drops could magic wield You’d be here close by my side Rather, you return a world away (& your love for me has died?) As it seems you must forget me So my tears must leave me blind Now with lost sight I will wander through these cities left behind
Reading The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman & rewatching the movie adapted from her book “Practical Magic” has my imagination wandering in themes of witches & sorcery.
