the witch

A poem of stolen love's desires

The witch lies conjuring lines of verse

to alter our place in the universe

to twist this common knowing

and spin such miracles as love.

A flash of light and a cackle of laughter

it seems I got what I was after

as your eyes fall on me hungrily

my world now mirrors my dreams.

How bright our future seems.

Then a witches warning: "2000

mornings of love have you ‘til natural 

laws return - death's padlock will be opened 

if the stolen love you haven't earned."

What bitter lessons greed can teach

when we twist the fates to heaven reach.
