hemlock

         
         
i. the darkness          
         
evil shadowed my steps          
poisoned my thoughts          
with black magic          
         
the dark truly ruled          
not only the land          
but me          
         
living among the hemlock          
drinking it's potion          
with belief it would heal          
         
a witch who          
fell prey to my own spell          
         
casting, chanting & weaving          
may the sun no longer shine          
on my enemy          
         
it went away for me that day          
my magic was strong          
but it wasn't pure          
         
         
ii. the sun          
         
the sun set on my heart long ago          
it faded beyond the horizon          
never to rise again          
         
the moon rose high in my skies          
& governed my days          
         
hemlock grows in abundance          
in the graveyard          
along side my quiet little house          
         
the trees whisper their despair          
branches reach to the heavens          
never to touch the light          
         
the moon is dour          
cruel to the children of the day          
they cry out in mourning          
         
then one day the sun          
broke free from its restraints          
it rose with triumphant glory          
& slew the eternal night
