Stars detonate, the universe splits in two
And Apprentice Esau aches for his
Childhood friend, Angie, in wild pursue
The weather man’s forecast
A Saturday.
The day was drowned by the leaking tap above.
Mr. Sunshine was hiding behind the curtain of clouds.
Too shy for his solo performance.
Little did the villagers of Lutheran know,
it was a spell cast by a witch.
An effort to ruin a girl’s day.
Her name’s Angie
The girl is Angie.
Trapped in her cell.
The witch’s little servant.
Like a dove in a vulture’s nest.
Angie’s master – Witch Sitiblanco
The kingdom’s most powerful and malevolent one.
Others carry brooms, for her a red umbrella.
A gadget to lure young girls – like Angie.
Sitiblanco’s best capture since last century.
Witch’s residence
Her day begins @ 6
The chores are endless
like an ever pouring waterfall
From the dusting to the wiping
Everyday, an alien room appears.
Angie lost count.
Lost in the vast sea of doors.
Connected by a labyrinth of corridors
Rest is assured when the owl calls.
A Lake Separates
Esau.
Gathering his new trade.
Alone and away.
Parted by a reservoir.
Water surrenders,
Frozen floor emerges.
Miles off Lutheran.
Skating on this big ice cube
A tradition of Angie’s seemingly endangered.
It’s Esau new playground.
Esau learn to breathe like Wizard Al Dente
The great sorcerer
Under his mentor’s watchful eyes.
Playing with Fire
Everyone has a weakness.
Angie’s master included.
For Witch Sitiblanco,
The sight of fireworks.
Esau picks his tricks swiftly,
but none as tricky as the fireworks casting.
The spell reads “Numero Ignis Sparko”
Thoughts of happiness is required,
with a torch of light.
Triggered with a firefly.
Journey across the ice rink
Time: 06 Hundred Hours
Destination: Castle off the tulips garden.
There the little girl awaits,
For the boy who have mastered the art of ignis.
He made his move.
In his mind
The end of Angie’s misery.
That fasten his steps.
Edging closer to the one he aches.
At Destination
The cold grey wall stood before him
Hunting for a crack to get behind the wall.
He found one!!!
Escaping attention of the cyclops sentries.
Elevates himself up to the window,
where she lays beneath the covers.
Waiting
There is nothing between them now
Their hands connect
Fleeing from Sitiblanco and the misery.
But Witch Sitiblanco is too sly.
Day one, she had a bug attached to Angie.
It alerted Sitiblanco as the couple crossed the boundary.
Into the dark woods
The face off
Esau confronts Sitiblanco
Stand off
With the thoughts of Angie safe in his arms,
Esau draws his firefly and shouted
“Numero Ignis Sparko”!!!
Stardust explodes
Pyrotechnics came shooting from the ground
In which the childhood friends stood.
Techni-colours flew up into the barren dark sky
Beautiful beyond comprehension
Esau could smell the smoke,
and the scent that lingers from Angie’s hair.
The fireworks frighten Sitiblanco
The fireworks brighten Angie
A forgotten smile on her visage
Recapture
The fireworks momentarily ward off Sitiblanco
Her wand elicits her iniquity group of associates.
They caught up
A handful that Esau can’t handle
He was hurt
Angie recaptured
A lonely heart returns across the icy lake.
