The apothecary's nightmare

entry picture

When sadnesses besiege me,

At the dying of the light,

Starlight illuminates

The ending of the day.

And star-crossed lovers

Quietly drift away.

........

I sigh silently, out of sight

Of mirrors, water, eyes,

Humankind loses its disguise.

We spin and whirl and follow,

like hemlock in the hay,

Witch-wicca-wizard

Sway beneath the moon,

All night, all day,

We dream our dreams away.

........

For all that was lost

Is summoned,

Pentacles aflame tonight,

Pray to the sky, the earth, the light.

........

Time and tide and starshine 

Warp-weft-weave a liminal sky,

Move towards the dying of the light.

The goddess of the moon's deceiving,

This evening, as her light bends and curves,

The  chemical nightmare occurs.

 

 

◄ So you think you can tell heaven from hell?

OH, WHISTLE, AND I'LL COME TO YOU, MY LAD ►
