To cage a lover's heart

To cage a love one's heart
Dark old magick you must arise
under the light or the waxing moon
take thy pegion on right hand doom
in your left you must possess
a needle you have bless
tied with your own hair
clense by your blood you spilled
warmed by candle black as deed
on thy lips you must then spill
your dark wish to the cold night's air
make it fast and on and on
till you feel that it is done
with thy force
you must drive
the needle home
to the pegions heart
as it beats its last loud thud
call his/her name to bind it last
after all this things are done
your wish can't be undone
you will then weild
his/her heart in thy hand
make a poppet if you wish
make him beg if you please
but be it known to you old fool
this magick is far to cruel
and you will reap what you have sow
with in three moons you will know
this poison inside you will grow
it will teach you hate
and then remourse
for the love you gained
you soon will lose
in tide or air
or earth or fire
death will follow him/her
to snatch him/her by
