Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Bewitched
Come
into
my humble
abode, filled with
all that you may need.
Spells, potions, artifacts,
or do you prefer a séance?
Who is that special someone you’d
like bewitched and have under your spell?
My price, whatever you need, is $150 dollars.
From Beyond
I know what you want
Dark mysteries from beyond
Chills the blood within
Open your eyes to the void
The curtain lifts on your doom
Cycle of the Witch
Child of earth
Lives and learns
Wisdom grow’s
Woman’s Life
Grimoire’s verse
Imparts love
Come of age
Passed the test
Old Crone rests
Woman
Thine own eyes see all
She is of body and mind
Her beauty revered
Despair
What do you want when you see me?
Am I not good enough for thee?
No more can I stay
Now I must away
Your goodbye
I won’t cry

#TheShortofIt
haunting, red and gloom
while the witch swings with a smile
her cohorts laughing
you dared to cross me
watch as I brew your ending
with a single hair
bubble, bubble. your trouble
laughing as your life drains out
