~ Spells and Potions ~

 

They tell me that time will remove your spell,

No magic potions will prevail,

Tablets and pills there are none,

Clocks and pendulums tick and chime,

With wisest counsels I have consorted,

Continuing to say the sun will always burn,

Friends forbidden to find an antidote,

Wild waters carry away all pooh sticks,

Plasters and bandages ease not the pain,

Hourglass sand grains continues to pass,

I seek forgiveness through a secret tryst,

Be my lover, counsellor and friend,

Together laugh and tarry with me awhile,

This spell will cure, and save me all of time.
