Enchantment

Enchantment

A Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe
"

For L.S :)

"

Those eyes larger than saucers are

Devices of a sorcerer

That low-cut, gripping, revealing dress

Devices of a sorceress

That eye shadow, that body lotion

Ingredients for your love potion.

 

I see it now, in my mind’s eye

Tall, dark tower with tolling bell

Rainclouds, lightning, crashing thunder

Incantations to put me under

A strong, potent and binding spell

Voice ringing into the sky,

 

I’m Peter Pan, you’re Tinkerbell -

I’m caught under a fairy’s spell

Like Flitwick tripping over Goyle’s arms

You’ve got me falling for your charms

The mirror in my heart’s categorical

That you’re the fairest of them all.

 

I promised not to fall for any woman

But my heart betrayed me like Saruman

And I really don’t know how this occurred

I guess I should have kept my eyesonguard

For my eyes have found no better view

Ever since the day they lit on you.

 

Enchantment so sweet that none could tell

Slumber in this delicious spell

And how I wish I shall not wake

And this sweet enchantment never break!

eyesonguard????
come on ...
Like the way you linked three fantasies.
And the poetry itself is great!

You have such smartly placed phrases bro:

"Those eyes larger than saucers are
Devices of a sorcerer
That low-cut, gripping, revealing dress
Devices of a sorceress
That eye shadow, that body lotion
Ingredients for your love potion."

And
"I’m Peter Pan, you’re Tinkerbell -
I’m caught under a fairy’s spell
Like Flitwick tripping over Goyle’s arms
You’ve got me falling for your charms"

But my drop down favorite part is your closing:

"Enchantment so sweet that none could tell
Slumber in this delicious spell
And how I wish I shall not wake
And this sweet enchantment never break!"

You've put aside the playfulness here and just delivered a deadly, beautiful finishing. I rarely negate your work...this is clear proof why!

Great piece here!!
