Winters fingers

Sweat on the ground

Moist all around

Shivering was the witch

Until the mob surround her

 

The crimes untold

As the woman's wrath unfolds

While the flames ignite 

to the crowds’ delight

 

 

Her screams echo fuelling the mobs hate

While masking their fate as her soul surrounds them 

 

 

The forest of death has a witches’ breath

With eyes that see throu...

Sea Witch

 

She drifted on the oceans spray 

And any sailor to come her way

Would get a hook beneath his jaw

And dragged down to the oceans floor

To feed the creatures of the deep

And harvest souls for her to keep!

Witch

Vows

she would swear curses

at adversaries she hated,

enemies got bad scrams,

their prospects down-rated

 

I'd smile, it seemed a joke,

her mother's just the same,

superstitious nonsense,

some daft witches' game

 

yet was it really so silly,or

was there something to it?

some victims took poorly,

there was never a minute

 

free of tragic local news,

some o...

Broomstick Baby

she used to set me on fire

her eyes lit my every day

that touch a breath of silk

voice so alluring and fey

 

magic slipped into reverse

our love shrinks unspoken

chemistry fell out of kilter

her fairy wand has broken

 

careless now, her moods

weaving so casual gashes,

disdain on that elfin face,

a tongue with fifty lashes

 

bored and up to mischief

White Witch Of Winter

White Witch Of Winter

 

Corvus the white witch

Once flew the sky on crow’s wings

And fed on battlefield dead

She ate the hearts of serfs and kings

But soon she lost the taste for flesh

And transformed into what winter brings

Her skin is cold to human touch

She feasts on other-worldly things

 

She turns snowflakes into blizzards

Freezes your blood and tears

Sh...

The Pumpkin Queen

The Pumpkin Queen

 

The pumpkin queen is orange

Like the colour of her fruits

She wears a giant apron

And polished hob-nailed boots

She has a heart as big as Oceans

And helps others when it suits

The pumpkin queen is deeper than

An oak tree’s ancient roots

 

She sits in regal glory

On a throne of wood and leaves

And will animate her chosen one

As long as i...

All Hallows Eve

All Hallows Eve

 

Gnarled tree roots claw from the ground

scratching over disturbed graves.

Pumpkins grin their toothless snarl,

fleshy tongues of seed and fibre.

The spectral drift of chilling mist

that prods and pokes at exposed flesh.

Somewhere a creature of the night

mewls in whimpering ecstasy

 

Dank leaves of autumn line the paths

as little ...

Hex

Hex

This genie spell hex you put on me will kill me.

I want to die.

I'm sick of the anxiety and shit you cause me, in my head all the time.

Why did you magically bind me to you?

We belong together? Horse shit!

You belong in the bottom block.

You're nuts and drive me insane.

I must end my life and get away from you. Permanently.

I borrowed my mate's pistol. He...

PATH

 

PATH

 

There was one who taught me all, as she taught the witch

at the other side of the estate. We are meant to be the best,

no one touching us on our path.

Me and you, together we had it all,

I met you in the Crystal Chamber. You became my wife,

me the goth, you the witch, fairy tale story.

I became your student and learned all I could,

we toured Euro...
