Grimoire
Gilded journal in azure for magical studies
The timber house for two, arcane music from the otherworld
Bruin wool blankets gifted from old friends
To keep us warm in this little enclave of dreams
basket of gala apples picked ripe to last us
Makeshift bed on the floor and the moorish lanterns lit
The sylph’s secrets in the paintings beside us enchanting our sleep
We have brought their spirits into the world by way of brush and song
Long baths with fragrant lavender and oat milk and Persian poetry
Our lines to the world and it’s web gone for a little while
Thank you for the unwinding and the teal beads hanging still life
Proved, that we need only the others arms and love in it’s safe place
Protector of all that plagues me and ruins me now
When day in day out depletes us we can return to ancient Aquincum
Sit on those bric a brac coloured chairs and take in the creative chaos
Fables for the after hours as I listen to you tell the six swans
your breath on the wind still, it takes me there.

Thanks Mirabel.
I wonder whether we get the word "grim", (magic etc )as in sinister, from your title?
