Spell Well Spun

On a crisp autumn night

Taken by the hand

Led down a path

I see a lit lantern

As if it freely stands,

An offering of

Dark red liquid you make

You whisper softly in my ear

And suddenly I begin

To tremble, to shake,

The reason I am there

You have told

Is not what I thought

Feeling a bit uneasy

With what is about to unfold,

I'm led deeper in the woods

And a huge flame lights the night

A ring of people have gathered

Cloaked in black

I now know that I'm

Their midnight snack,

An altar is near the flame

Placed upon it, I am to be

The chanting begins 

As they disrobe me,

A gentle hand reaches for mine

To help me upon the altar

As I'm guided 

I'm feeling a warmth

I'm in awe,

My mind is in a haze

I ponder

What did that elixir contain,

They have their way

An initiation, I was not aware

But obsessed with them

Now I am

For here I belong

One with each of them

I have become,

High Priest and High Priestess

First and also last

I'm bound to them

It's so overwhelming

Can't help but hope forever

This spell was very well cast.

I hope this is your imagination gone wild! I know of someone this really happened to, it's a fascinating read but scary s**t in real life. Gripping read.
