Witching Whisperings

- Witching Whisperings -

I sacrifice!
What would I give for love unending?
A question asked since time’s birth…
And, in the midst of my remembering,
I know what such a dream is worth.

Days of rain, days of water poured…
Then dried when days of fire dawned.
The winds have howled and roared,
Because of the darkness that is born!
Oh sweet gods and goddesses on high,
How thou must laugh at these times…
Even as angels weep and devils sigh!
Whilst darker things hear my rhymes,
For I have heard oft, their whisperings.

Long it hath been, in time’s reckoning,
Since I traded my pale white banner…
For one of black, with sound reasoning!
For love, for desire, passionate manner,
I whispered back, to the darker forces.

Many hath passed into the deep night,
Their silence falling heavily upon me…
Friends and loved ones, of my delight.
I grieved the loss of sweet company,
As theirs, had been, ere the dark fell!
Who knows me, who understands all?
Mayhap spirits of Heaven, or of Hell.
I hear their songs, I heed of their call,
I knew ice’s burn and fire’s blistering.

Long it hath been, in time’s wandering,
Since I traded my pale white armor…
For one of black, in fair understanding!
For love, for desire, to sate my hunger,
I touched the fabric of magic’s courses.

Despite it all, I am wholly untainted…
Unmarred by the night’s hot embrace.
The witching night, so long awaited…
Soon, shall greet my most eager face.
Beyond fire, water, earth, and wind,
A new darkness beckons so lovingly!
Lesser hearts break, and even bend,
But I will remain strong unto eternity!
Even: if stars blacken their glistening.

What would I give for love unending?
A question asked since time’s birth…
And, in the midst of my remembering,
I know what such a dream is worth.
I sacrifice!
