(Rainy days are story days)


So there’s this witch, you see,
perceived as being me
walking the labyrinth
of a long held dream.

Of course she casts a spell;
it’s what a witch would do
when thinking there is merit
in her love of you
sitting like a boulder
in the path of moving on.

Poof!  She waves it far away
and walks a merry mile
to back track then again
and find it in the mind.

So fly she does up to the sky
and it’s like she must be there
when love is in the air
and she hovers then unsighted
above thermal currents
meant to move a witch and me  
to the far away outside.

And “ain’t” that just like air
to keep a witch stuck there
for how ever long it takes
to drop from ecstasy?

Poof!  She waves again her wand
and gone again the loving feel
that rises/drops, rises/drops,
as if it’s meant to be.  

She moves forward then to pay the bill
because you know it costs a lot
to walk the labyrinth
and come out again alone.

Oh, there are witches and then there is me
in cast of spells and wave of wand
until, poof, we are gone
to no more be believed.

But I touch my skin and still alive
and so of death it’s not for me
because I’m not a witch, you see,
to be gone and not believed
to still be in love with you!

Thanks, Roniece, but now it's out into the rain and a drop down into "reality".  I don't like it much these days (reality) but it is what it is.

The problem here, I think is this:
The witch is melted by a kiss,
so thus she hovers up above
for she cannot fall in love
not with a mortal man can she
ever tryst and ever be
the witch as is her legacy--
envious and wondering
what is this thing called love?

I love witch stories.

Thanks for the smile kind lady!

"sitting like a boulder in the path of  moving on." I especially like this line.

Wow, dear Helen, I love how you conveyed your inner uncertainties.

Sometimes the ability to act like a witch makes us stronger, but of course we must learn to land softly!

On this special day RENEWAL is in the menu ... maybe we could open our hearts' doors and let in some fresh air and breathe with confidence.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Thanks Karen, Ida, and Margherita for your comments.

Karen - I think there's more truth in what you say than can perhaps be realised.  Maybe I am a witch although I never thought I was.  

Margherita - Yes, it is a time of renewal and so it is most definitely for me.  Fresh air is on the way but it's the two month's wait for me that is a problem.  

Happy Easter!
Helen
