Seeker

Rapprochement

I have been tasked to cast a spell with words

A magic rune that evokes love or hate or tears

Entrancing moods that will enthrall when heard

If summoned wisely this hex soothes all fears

 

I know not where these brumes begin nor how

Between the heart and soul? perhaps or not

The darkest ocean depths will not allow

their secrets be known nor easily begot

 

Why would a lowly vessel be compelled

to write with glee obsessive lines of verse

The duress feeds the need closely held

My willy nilly mind bizarre, dispersed

 

will never know why I am bound to indite

The muse abides I now attempt no fight
