Wiccan Love
If you are even a casual reader of my blog, you know I rarely preface my poetic works. However, I must take a moment of pause to recognize and thank my dear friend, Kristian Weigman, for taking the time to collaborate with me on this poem. Her creative spirit, practiced ear, and linguistic beauty has been an absolute joy to watch, work with, and benefit from. I encourage my readers to visit her blog at Life’s Lessons From Around the Dinner Table. There Kristian offers her own great writing intermingled with her eye for photography, her ear for music, and her hand at magic. A true Renaissance woman! We both hope you greatly enjoy the following:
WICCAN LOVE
A haunted night under full moon
In lover’s month, when hearts swoon
Lilts an enchanting and trancing verse
A love is captured by bewitching curse
In a cauldron stirred with jackal’s bone
As spells are cast in chanted tone
Churns such a strong and evil brew
A drink that will the mind subdue
With eye of newt and wing of bat
Sacred herbs tossed in the vat
A long-stemmed rose, a lock of hair
Conjures an elixir strong and rare
I’ll be his desire, his every whim
As, I, the obsession placed within
Do grow and burn like blackened flame
The loving chains binding manly frame
With silver pestle and mortar stone
On hallowed skin and hollow bone
In pale light of devil’s red moon
I speak the words of ancient rune
“Penitent blood and raging fire
bring to me my heart’s desire.”
“I take this wand, cast my spell
to end my lonely days in hell.”
“In his mind, plant thoughts of me.”
“My beating heart, his home to be.”
“With this magic that I brew,
vex him to feel the way I do.”
“God of thunder, lord of rain,
retrieve my love and drown his pain.”
“Eastern wind carry my siren’s tune,
bound as one beneath blood moon.”
Portent cast on embodied man
To own his mortal soul my plan
As darkening clouds form above
He’s captured by my wiccan love
Now my lust kneels next to me
And I am his only reverie
Let the words, by enchantress spoken
Cast a spell that cannot be broken

It was such an honor to work with you, Brad! Thank you for your lovely words. I appreciate them and you so much! It was fun working with you, you are always so inspiring. I’m going to post mine in a minute. I had it scheduled, but since I’m up, I might as well publish ahead of schedule! 😁❤
Yeah, didn’t mean to jump the gun on you. All my posts are normally scheduled in advance and post at 6 a.m. I look forward to working with you again. You are a superb writer and a dear friend! 😘❤
No worries. I know you usually post your work earlier than I do. No need for apologies. 😘😘
Wowzers. That was great! 👍👍👍
Thank you, Empress! May you always be touched by the magic of love! ❤
Wow! This is so beautiful! 💕❣️
Thank you Shreya! What a coincidence that we both had collaborations in mind for today. Thanks for reading and all your kind support! ❤😘
Yeah. That’s was a nice coincidence. I always read your works, you inspire me. ❤️🤗😘
a wonderful collaboration – well done Kristian and Brad!
Thanks, Jim! It is fun to collaborate and share the creative process.
you’ve created brand that people are attracted to and want to work with!
Thank you, Jim. You are right about Brad creating attractive content. I knew the moment the opportunity arose to collaborate with Brad there was no way I could pass it up. He mentioned something to me about sharing my spotlight, but I instantly thought, “No, it is surely the other way around.”
Brad, this is a magnificent collaboration. You two have created magical world: a mesmerizing world of beauty and love.
Now my lust kneels next to me
And I am his only reverie
Let the words, by enchantress spoken
Cast a spell that cannot be broken
Why would anyone break such a spell? Beautiful my friend.
Thank you, my Poetess! ❤
Beautiful Brad! Absolutely engaging and powerful…I salute you both! Great work!
I too was enchanted by this verse:
“Let the words, by enchantress spoken
Cast a spell that cannot be broken”
Thank you, Francisco! Kristian is such a creative soul. We picked a premise for the poem and then I just held on to see where it would go. She was a joy to work with and I am proud of our work together.
Thank you, Francisco. Don’t let Brad fool you, if it wasn’t for his light and inspiration that guided me, there would have been nothing to hold onto. I am proud of our work too though, and am already looking forward to the next collaboration.
A wonderful, dare I say magical, poem that has weaved its spell over me!
You are so kind, beautiful Jupiter! If it was that easy I would have made you mine long ago! Much love to you! Stay safe and stay well! ❤🥰😘
Aww, thank you. You are wonderful. Good health and wellbeing to you, too xx
