Two Simple Questions



Dark-haired women are the best--

We all carry tarot decks,

Blusher,

And a certain smoky magick.


Think about it--

When the end comes,

(and it may, any minute)

Do you really want to be out there with a blonde?

Do you really?

Do you really?


We have witches' houses

Out in the countryside,

Familiars at our feet.

Come in,

Come in,

We may turn you to stone on a whim,

Or strew the winter landscape with lilies if we care to;

Do you dare to

Kiss us and live with the consequences?

Do you?

Do you really?

  9. I've always thought brunettes were magic...and now I'm certain of it. :)

    But what about us with the glints of red?

  10. What not a blonde with her buttery voice that put one in mind of those shortbread cookies in the blue tin from Finland. I kid, but then you have red hair don't you?
    Lovely, honest.
    Warm regards,

  15. Kay, I say....reds are not for the faint of heart. Reds are definitely witches, too. ;-)

  16. Blondes only think they have more fun because someone told them that ... on their own they need help .. she says tossing her once raven tresses
