The Mage


(A lone voice whispers.)


Close your eyes

To everything else


Read this in total silence

In semi-darkness


Can you hear my sultry tempting voice 

As the only noise


Read these magical words

Below


You have no option now

There's no going back


Yumbarto

Kilgarruti


Yumbarto

Kilgarruti


So its dulcet tones can

Run their sinewy hypnotic octaves 


Down your now shivering spine

In waves


Yumbarto

Kilgarruti


Yumbarto

Kilgarruti


Are those goose pimples

On your now-on-edge skin

Appearing


As your soul

Opens its front doors and gleefully 


Beckons me 

In to party


With these final words


Yumbarto

Kilgarruti



Take me
