The sorcerer considered the plight
Of all who accept selfless love
And ground with mortar and pestle
The means of his symbolic death
The supplicant sacrifice
The fire to thaw one frozen heart
As one is burned to dust
The voodoo demon paced around
Concerned that the cage was not enough
To hold the princess for the night
Not afraid the pale and beautiful child will escape
But that something powerful would break in
Taking his prized possession from him
He fanned the flames of the incense
And recited the incantation once again
Watching all shadows warily
The wizard lay upon his bed
And sipped the potion most foul
Shortly finding himself in the cage
Without corporeal form or shape
Silently he whispered to the princess words
Words that she did not want to hear
“You must remove all of your clothes
fight your fear, trusting me implicitly,
take my hand and close your eyes.”
The voodoo demon watched and saw
His captive, naked, walking through the bars
Eyes tightly closed, a mist surrounding her
He followed her as she walked through the wall
Outside he bewitched her, “Open your eyes! See the Man!
I am the man of your dreams! Open your eyes!”
The sorcerer kept his gentle hold and spoke softly
“Your dreams are tricking you. Walk on and smile”
The battle raged on, as demon and wizard fought
In a life and death struggle to win her obedience
She felt the wizard’s hand upon her shoulder
It was gentle and calm, she felt safe and relaxed
She felt the hot breath of the voodoo demon
As he screamed to her with his powerful voice
Filling her with lust and fear, making her feel alive
She wanted to walk on, she wanted to open her eyes
