The Invocation of Xo

 Press play.



(A lone female voice whispers)


Within these enticing words is a manifestation of magic from me


An incantation from my higher self


My spirit

For you to take to the crypt 


Beyond all your eyes can ever see 


Ven y quédate conmigo


For within these magical words,

I sign my secret name with this poetic invocation 


Deeply

Into your hypothalamus


Sweetly 

And

Slow


Ven y quédate conmigo


To unconsciously follow you 

Like a Little Hobo


Everywhere you go

Ven y quédate conmigo


I've cast this now you've read it as our own individual spell to allow you 


To carry me within your each and every breath 

Until our deaths


Ven y quédate conmigo


So I can see you grow

From Spring to the last Winter's snow 


From above and below

Ven y quédate conmigo


You’re inviting me in whether you know it or not


Ven y quédate conmigo


Admit our love

So this won't stop


Merge with me

So I can help carry you through any rain or tear drops


So say after me mentally as you read this


Ven y quédate conmigo

Come and stay with me

Xo


And I will come

With beating sounds of your heart's rhythmic drums


Ven y quédate conmigo

Come and stay with me

Xo


To be as one

Ven y quédate conmigo
