'neath onyx skies
lift
crystal *****
filled with
visions
of
magic,
malevolence
musings
alchemy
creates
golden chalices
to hold
the wine
of illusion
sorcerers
casting
spells
pixies
sprinkling
dust
spiders spinning
orbs
whose gossamer
threads
capture tales
of
kings
castles
princesses ~
wizard wands
meander
across
the night sky's
wilderness
rearranging stars
into patterns
to be read
as words ~
cryptic languages
wishing
insight
into
mysteries
opaque
clouded
hidden
locked
within
soldiers
and samurai
seek the key
while dragons
breathe
flames
of passion
into
the cauldron
that lights
the banks
of a river
of dreams
cliffs rise
along the edge
casting shadows
that plunge deep
to nightmares
hearts climb
and fall again
caught by
the jagged edges
of love
and bitter
melancholy
climb and fall
again
bewitched,
beguiled
becharmed
by incantations
to
the moon
goddess
