Ace of Cups Spell


New moon,
new swoon,
I’m all abloom.
I’m inviting
this enticing
warmth into my
stillroom.

A pitter-patter of love’s clatter
shatters old patterns,
breaking through the tatters
of what doesn’t serve.

I’m anew; I’m alight,
on this night of delight.
There’s no more fright.
It no longer resides in my chest, tight.

This concoction I’ve bottled
was brewed then stewed,
but never neglected nor coddled-
it just grew and grew.

I’ve been patient and kind,
minding my time,
biding my mind,
until my potion of emotion is: sublime!

My heart’s in my throat;
I’ve got a new anecdote.
This is my antidote!

I’m all a flitter.
My heart’s in a skitter
from the idea of a new love.

So, I release my creation,
with courage and elation.
I’ll never again hide me
or the love that’s inside me.

I'm finally alive, see?
I can feel any emotions that reside, freely,
not just the feelings that you made for me.
I can unmask and let go
of the ghosts and shadows
that still try to strangle me, tangle me,
dangle
in front of me.
I forgive you; hear my plea:
Let me be.

On this darkened night,
I share with the world.
My soul’s uncurled.
It’s unfurled!
May it shoot out
its spark and light!
