I wait
The greatest
Most powerful unseen witch
Must wait
I sigh
Glances are exchanged as I walk
My sharp tongue swiftly twirls sarcastic comebacks
To childish comments
My mask
An ephemeral disguise
Detailed with long lines and everlasting colours
I see the door
It is opened
I step in my breath is sharp I cannot look away
From him
If looks could kill I would have died years ago from poison kisses and withheld glances
The seventh son of the seventh son
Too bad this boy was the eighth
Not a wizard oh no a warlock
And his beauty was so unforgiving

Deeply inventive--the title, the concept. The fantasy elements are enjoyable and unique.
*To bad this boy was the eighth=You should have used 'too'. Please change this immediately if you want to be even considered for being a finalist!
"I see the door/It is opened"
It's interesting that the line 'It is opened' is in a new stanza, making the reader anticipate what they're gonna read.
Excellent.
