#sorcery
Witchcraft and wine it comes so naturally, and now that you’re mine I’m going to actually try my best not to lose it. If there’s a bomb then I will defuse it. If there’s an offer I’ll just refuse it. If there’s a card to play I’m going to use it. Because you’ve got me under Your blanket of stars and mysteries, connecting our scars and histories. In parked cars both sighing mystically and back to the park where I was to shy to try anything. Sorcery and scotch you put me in a trance. If you took it down a notch, I just might stand a chance that I’m not going to lose my head, even with my cheeks burning red getting brighter as you quietly said “I’ll meet you tonight in our bed.” Depriving me of slumber With your healing touch and cosmic skin, I’m within your clutch and freely giving in. It’s too much and you have yet to begin, removing my crutch and cleansing me of each sin. I was warned of street magicians and cautioned with tales of gateway drugs. To not take my eyes off no matter the conditions, because that’s when they tend to pull rugs. “If you fall for one, you’ll fall for them all.” But this time I’m done, I think it’s last call. With your witchcraft and wine, you make it look so divine.

Witchcraft & Wine
Above the clouds of Tunhill High above the lands of Arangrad Stands a figure shrouded The Rains at his command Pounds of steely muscle Fur that sways All shall tremble Beneath his waves Waves of might Shows of power Claws of steel so sharp A hide nails dare not mark There he stands Still as night Calmly though The stars in fright On his back A banner of black Made naught but tears And a soaked blood bath His eyes gleam strong His gaze far reached Along his brow Furrows do reach Fought hard battles Turned many sour Taught many to stand And all to cower Beneath his crown Is all that matters Nations far and wide Forced to stagger Feet of stumps Roots do grow Follows reach Across the globe Lands to him Naught but strides All shall come Across his eyes One is shadow One is flesh A metaphor Never to rest Vigorous gale Lets none fail A tattooed sight For minds so frail A silvered coat Makes a mired mail For none has scope Fall beneath him - wail How can you hope To better yet Come across one With broader chest One so mighty Cares for all Enemies of ours Oh how they fall Pride to be One of ours A mighty warrior From our own house The staggered foe The blunted blade All are similar In certain ways For how can they Hope to last Against sharpened stone Built so fast A force of nature Belligerent foe To the cosmos Ones to show Magnanimous hatred Bitter so Fought hard beneath Sweltering tones For ones creation Is not wider known A tremendous being Moulded so On fields of battle Amidst the throng Deep beneath The waves that thrown A king laid flat A warrior flayed bare A sorceress so Shared malevolent stare Powers of life magic thrown Used angrily - outwards Caused a reaction None could have known For too much life force Causes all to grow To enormous proportions To then explode But once or twice Events conspire That none could say Gods would have aspired For one such case Where moments ago Stood a young wolf Unarmoured and blown Now stood the force That would become known As the one above The clouds we call home A wolf still If even close But one to rival The gods own prose There he stood Indenting the ground With his new proportions And staggering prowl He gazed once forth At bewildered witch Then tore her apart Aspire his wits Then his great head lifted Splattered with gore To the lines of foe Butchering his blood And so he turned With nothing but claw Rendering steel And oh so much more On he went With unholy vigour Ripping and tearing None saw it quicker And once he was done Drenched in the foe His fur seeming to feast On the battles below The great wolf stood And addressed his great nation For beneath him stood men from his station He raised his proportions And gathered himself Rose to his height And met all above shelf With silvered tongue He spoke for a time And before him kneeled Every single one in kind For the wolves of his nation Astonished you see Now saw him as greater Than any could be Now as they knelt Awaiting permission The great wolf roared all doubts deigned submission And once he was done And all had washed their blood He spoke once more But then only once the words he spoke Shall be etched in stone Forever and always To times unknown Words of a leader Words from the foe Words that will follow us To our graves and below “I am the wolf The one to be followed I will be named king And awash all of your sorrows For i am a wolf But now greater grown And all that shall know me Should name me this so The mightiest among us A powerful foe To any before me Who would seek hate to sow A name i shall have A name oft too much bitten But for a ruler to lead He must have his ambitions Call me the wolf A great king - A great man Felled the foe Saved our lands For as my father Named me as an heir I shall be named The Wolf King, of Zubair

A beautiful forest nymph tried to put a spell on me her shiny eyes trying to lure I quickly hide behind a tree What treacherous sorcery I have to overcome before I turn into a toad a spell that can't be undone Her magic mystical powers firing beams upon my soul trying to blind the inner of me and capturing me as a ghoul

Hovers over petals Itching to dive, drop Divine into essences Of live colour, scents Of creation, breathing In the motion swirls, Stemmed skywards, Genitalia of rainbows End.   Honey Bee catches Nectar dripping out airs And steels away to hive, Beelines to comb, where Amber ****** becomes What Gods sleepily crave, Sniffed sweets of ambrosia, Borne in the queer fluctuations Of tiny wings, firing up vibrations. .

Conjurer of spells, I stir phrases in a witch's cauldron..... wizard's breath to tint the potion Let it boil over Reduce the excess add emotion and a four leaf clover Temperature at serving time defines the tone and type of incantation Cold spells work as heartless breaths Warm ones jubilation Hotter brew brings swift results Careful even death My sorcery is well disguised as poetry and song.   I'll have you laugh, yank a tear or make a day feel twice as long. I'll look you in the eye as I feed you all my truths and lies None can break the grip of words I wield, won't know to even try Warlock...my voice enchants let me whisper in your ear You'll result bewitched.... but if I hold you high ..... there's never need to fear

Tis a dilemma to draw down the moon center of circle & her hair entwined; the staff raised, the incantation recited; no real words just babble that comes through the spirit channeling through out of the wizard's lips to invoke a she who is not real smoky doppelganger of true love with every visage in place; nightmare's illusion in mortal man's beauty & enthralled by life itself no goddess she but a wraith lifted from beneath the earth; shadowy shade who though intangible has scales for flesh slick & smooth as a shark's; as she takes him in her tentacled arms & for once it is he who swoons in vampyr's embrace of loving succubus

Offering to Medusa
Night has enveloped, to give me some relief, Now invisible are walls of separation, and thy grief. Where blood quenches the thirst, Disloyalty is faith last and first, Is the religion my beloved belongs to. I beckoned, red and black robed lady with a wand. Let me take her by the hand. Heard of her about sorcery. Her powers useless, and witch now about to succumb, From just a gaze of eyes filled with Kohl of Leila. My nights worthless, body breathless, Every moment, feeling restless. Be silent and hear, hear me, my cries, Don't forget the promise you swore, I have lost my childhood over you. Don't know, how these years left me alone, Sufferings, separation, theft me alone. I never knew how pain excrutiates. Sometimes, I enlivened you my dear, Love is a blessing, and not a fear. In a melancholy cloudy day, I mourn. Glistening eyes, weeping sky, and heart torn. I gaze from a window in Kashmir, For a moment, condoling the tragedy, sighing. In sombre time, lifeless, as if dying.

In the Old World, those of our kind had to keep ourselves hidden and work our magic behind closed doors. We were to be secret sorcerers. A mysterious kind of folk. We were accused of darkness and exiled to despair if our covers were blown. Thankfully these times are changing. With this New World Order, our fate is changing for the better of us all. And more importantly, the fate of the earth and the cosmos beyond. While dark magic is something we are all capable of portraying whether intentional or not, there is so much more good that can come when aligned with the magic and mystique, connected with the powers of our earthly just as our heavenly realms. As above, so below is a saying we all know. As it is in the heavens it shall be on earth. Peace and Protection are granted for all who believe. Gifts from nature given as tools and symbols so we may live a life of leisure and ease. For now, we are teachers shown through storybook tales. To prepare you for your future in magic that comes with being born into these great times of change; for we will one day pass our torch to you; just as you will to every indigo, rainbow, soul-healing, spirit-weaving, wondrous light-working child.

Bewitching the Switching from Old to New
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"

The witch and the Peacock
If willing Their belief On almighty To relinquish And  from Their soul For lucifer Proffer A special dish, For a while, Devil will not be Unwilling to grant Sorcery and occultism Blindfolded fools The financial bonanza They gluttonously wish Or an earthly pleasure They die to relish. But at the height of Their self contentment, With a stab on the back With a sharp knife Satan will ramshackle his subject's life. Devil could Not be God However hard he play-acts When approached Ensconced on his abode.

Devil could not be God
I'm not a poet I never was one. Where the words could build and wreck lives. Mine caused only a ripple Where the words could cause chaos Mine let out only a whimper. The words, they should be magical But, mine knew no sorcery. All my life, I spent it finding the exact words The words never found me. Also, I never quite got the hang of feelings They were all so beautiful and ugly. But words were all that remained And I want them to stay close within the wild musings of my reckless heart.

Haiku ( enchantress )
Bewitched by your soul I crave to know your gift Your gift of knowing me Owning me, filling me Did you glamour me? Or did I entrance you? Your leadership of me Makes it hard to resist Your charm, your craft I'm charmed by your knowledge Enraptured by your mask What are you? Should I feel horror? I feel so at home in your arms Which of us is the witchery spirit? Are you a warlock? One that has locked me in a battle of need, need of you? Or am I the enchantress that has hexed you? We cannot be parted, we are one I am undone Sorcerer of me What is under your cloak?
