Enchantress

In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul. - Albert Camus

Lady Gaga as the Witch of the Woods

on American Horror Story

floating into the ruttish loins of my tainted dreams in a deferential mist

adorned with the mysterious, dark cape of ancient pedigree

you seemed so soft and innocent

sincere and reciprocal

standing in front of the manor wall

beneath a tree of reach

tinged with the deceptive hue of a seductive serum

i unknowingly became a conduit of coital castration

a fallacious foible of fornication

caught in an explicit, inescapable, liturgical snare of lust and litigation

victim of a corporeal hex

casualty of a terminal, testicular temptress

because i wanted your flesh

without knowing your soul

i ended up empty and lost

impotent from what you stole

sadistically and surgically sucked into a profligate black hole

Author's Note

“I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them. It’s the male chauvinistic society that we’re living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. And so I just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. We are very blessed that way, so I’m just bringing that out. Don’t be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.” - Yoko Ono
