I once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.

The tension drained from her face and she softened in his hold until she was again the fluid, responsive woman who had kissed him within an inch of his life.

If his life depended on it, he couldn’t say whether he wanted her to stay an hour, a day, or forever. ↗

Those old hypocrites. The talk about killing witches but the Good Book’s full of magic. Turning the Nile to blood and parting the Red Sea. What’s that if it’s not good old-fashioned magic? Want a little water into wine? No trouble! How about raising the dead man Lazarus? Just say the word! ↗
