Witch's Curse

By Mimna V M

Dark was the day, but not yet night

He did wait, for her to move on

Words that maimed and bruised,

Waited to be buried, just like in the past

Alas, why he didn’t realize?

For it was the eclipse,

And the witch will be awakened

Time was right, and he didn’t run

As though he knew, no place to hide,

The witch will know and he will be found

Time was right and red orchids bloomed

And they spilled, where was touched

By the dark witch’s curse

Black butterflies flew,

And the dark witch was alight,

And just for a moment,

Just before she vanished
