The Potion
Joshua Kinsel 1984 (San Antonio, tx)
I search my soul deep down within
And found the power I need to begin
The coven has called the invite sent
I rushed over and found out the hint
The ritual starts as soon as I arrive
First an enchantment so I'll survive
Spells of protection a bubble surrounds
So impenetrable I can't hear a sound
My words a clear precise to the point
The candle is lit and so is a joint
As the bud burns I watch the smoke rise
Pen to paper intentions I write
Torn to pieces then set ablaze
Into the cauldron for the next phase
Now the wax and herbs from the tea
I brew a potion for the path I will see
The possession I seek it's hard to find
Only I'll know the place where it hides
An object so great to possess I may die
A risk I'll take for energy so high
It'll be my treasure no one will know
I'll bury it deep in a vault down below
A location secret, not easy to find
Close enough for the power to be mine
