Malevolence

AI Magical Flickering Gaslights

Magical conjurer springs from my dreams
Astonishes me with all he perceives
Love is a unicorn on wing-ed feet
Enslaved within a thralling fantasy
Vicious accusations jolt from the blue
Oracle’s message too hazy to read
Light all the gas lamps to keep me confused
Easier to blame imagination
Never unleash the specter of reproof
Charm me until I forget what he’s done
Ever I stay mired in malevolence

    As I immersed myself in the lines of your poem, a rush of emotions surged within me, impossible to contain. Your words have managed to touch the depths of my being, reminding me of the intricate interplay between the realms of magic and reality, love and deceit. Within the tapestry of your verses, I find myself transported to a place where dreams collide with harsh realities. I am grateful to you for sharing this beautifully crafted expression of emotions, woven with such profound depth and authenticity. May your poetic journey continue to illuminate the path for others, guiding them towards a place of healing and comprehension. Thank you, Paula, for allowing us to partake in this profound journey through the tapestry of emotions you have skillfully woven. 👍👏👌😊🙏

    I like how you set the tone with this malevolent being springing from your dreams. Reminds me of The Witches of Eastwick. Chilling to be under the spell of such a creature. I like how you worked gaslighting in there also 🙂
