The Dark Wish
Richard Barrett
One full moon, at highest sky; Dragon tears, phoenix dies; From darkest hate come the lies; The darkest wish has come to fly. Flying in twos the wishes come; for the purest of you...and the darkest among. Make the choice wisest to thee;for the wrong one could come back times three. But which is wrong and which is right. For the wishes that glitter along in flight; one is the right, one is to smite; only one will win the fight. For among the wishes of these times two, one is gold one is blue. The gold among the wishes two; is one for hatred of one you knew. And of the two the wish of blue; is for the love truest to you. And if you choose love over hate; the power of the wish will not abate. But if you choose hate, you seal your fate, for this power too will not abate. And once you too seal this fate, its hunger will not satiate. A wish of pain from purest hate shall come forward to fill the plate. But if you still take love for hate, there is nothing left to hate. And since the power does not abate, a long life love is there at wait. And since the love is there at wait, the fate will abate for the dark wish of hate.
