I Put A Spell (On You)

[ThePoet]

I've put a spell on you: a collection of many hexes.

You can tell I'm very interested in apothecarial connections;

Conconctions in combination with convoluted incantations.

I've a taste for ancient machinations. I'm a sage and a canny magus.

With a page taken from a paganist translation

Of an invocation sacred, I'ma conjure your consecration.

I'm a sorcerer; I'm an augerer. I'ma alter all your formulations.

I could force you in to adoration, and enthrall you with my orchestrations.

[Crystal Darling]

You talk so loud and so big about the magicks of the world.
Of hexes and spells, of connections and words.

You seem interested, obsessed, lost in these pages of yours. 

 

But what if I told you a secret.

It takes less. 

It takes more. 

 

In the world's center, you find magick.

Living and thrumming. Not dusty and dead, pressed between pages of old books. 

Not scrunched up into complicated sentences full of a corpses breath.

 

Magic is in the air, filled with springs scent. 

In the mossy green of summer. 

In the warm glow of fall and in the white coldness of winter.

 

It is in all things living and dying. In all things being.
Flowing like water over sand. Ghosting over your skin at this very moment.

It is in your bones. An ancient heartbeat - connecting you to more. 

 

It is everything and nothing. 
Do not hold back. Do not mutilate it with words

Take a breath. Take it easy.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm happy that you enjoyed this piece. I originally wrote it to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" which was a little trickier due to the 6/8 time signature. Anyhow, I'm glad that I could inspire you to write. Keep it up. Edited March 15, 2018 by MrEver
