Witchcraft of Poetry: Black Magic Woman

Black Magic Woman

You wore black all over you
the pendant sparkled in the dark
you arrived late while I waited in haste
but the steps you took like an angel flew
out of my reach; you leave a mark

Oh Black Magic Woman
cook some potion and break this spell
Oh Black Magic Woman
for this curse be gone by daylight's well

An eruption now I conceal in peace
sublimes away around your scented skin
scents I knew and scents anew;
my dream even comes to cease
scoot away now for good; love I'm beggin'

Oh Black Magic Woman
poke the doll and let it burn
Oh my Black Magic Woman
for if you wait; I'll be gone...long gone!!!
