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.

Beautiful! Outstanding! Powerful! Wicked! Marvelous! Everything in this is not just filled with magic words but creation. I missed your word but continue to read your work every day when I get the chance to be on here.

Oh, dearest Lilly, I am so very delighted that you enjoyed my poem! Indeed, magic and creation cannot but go hand in hand, for certain. I too miss our talks and such, and am happy that you follow my works here on Deep Underground. Whenever I hear from you, it always fills me with great joy! :)

You have the right of it sweet Grace… love is a powerful force in the universe! It can inspire great light as well as profound darkness. It has inspired such tragic events as the Trojan War, but yet love has also inspired such bright things as selflessness, devotion, charity, and things as simple as the words: “I love you.” Spoken betwixt two souls who cherish one another. And… it also can inspire great poetry and magnificent art! I am glad you liked this humble contribution of mine, to love’s… and passion’s… legacy. As always, your words are sweet and ever welcome. :D

A lovely, poetic comment, Infernus! Thanks for stopping by to give your thoughts… so glad you enjoyed the poem. :) In poetic reply to your comment…
Tranquility, is a worthy journey’s reward,
Great works are not always raised: by the sword.
Sometimes the pen can create and inspire,
When one’s art is filled with passion’s very fire!
Therefore, all my writing, passion contains,
Whether when expressing pleasures, or pains.
