On my first day at the school of magic, I was nervous.

“Here, get this down you,” said Witch Agnes.

I took a sip & an immediate calm fell over me.

“Wow,” I said. “I can’t wait to learn how to conjure up this #elixir.”

She cackled. “Oh that? That’s just good old-fashioned tea.” #vss365

Looking for
Just the right
Snake oil elixir
That might calm
The serpents within

At least enough
That their slithering
Can't be felt
And their infernal hissing
Muffled even a little

A Reprieve is all
Moments of peace
And a night's sleep
From the residents
That cannot be evicted

#poetry
#elixir

it leaks, nearly pours, flows out
with vigour and trashing
quivers turned into spasms
flesh both taut and malleable
heedless in action, reckless in abandon
fountain for #elixir, quenching the thirst

Drink greedily of the #elixir
The Sun administers…
Let medicinal rays stave
The cold of a chill sinister…
Gulp the gulfs, wind, and waves
That behave as healing tonics…
Apply serenity to the soul
That holds a pain chronic…

the panacea
liquid of the decanter
#elixir of age

Her bathroom is abundant with her "lotions and potions", items of self-care that let her feel softer, smoother, and more feminine. Nowhere among them is any #elixir that promises a return to youth. She wants to come to terms with her age without losing how she got there.

"Your blood is like #elixir," Bailey said. She fed Honey Bunny, the alien device Cosmo's blood. Honey Bunny's five eyes rolled like a slot machine. "Never seen it do that."
"You think it's enough to fight Caesar?" Cosmo said.
"Yes, but the government wants you more." #vss365

No one writes on restroom walls anymore
No potluck of poetry
No elixir for the loins
No witty scrawl carved into the wall
Nothing to contemplate
trapped inside the stall

Poisoned and drowning in the #elixir, no one's #empathetic, #consoling myself that everyone's going through something, it's alright.
It might look like they're paddling their boats, driving their yachts. Maybe i just can't see the holes in them from where i am, floating among the jettisoned.

In his trembling hand
an elixir of bane and sand
drink my friend
if you have the gall
drink and you'll fear nothing
nothing at all
#vss365 #elixir #poetry

oh, the intoxicating brew
of you
chemistry rewritten for the ages
distilled, consumed
poisoned
by sultry lips
such silky sweet danger
liquid eyes, the darkest ink
trapped in glass
an apothecary
oh, to drink this cure
your delicious secret
this potent admixture
devour
your magic #elixir

#vss365

elixir of hope
a world of empathetic souls
braving life as one
to defeat childhood cancer
we can all console with love

It might inject us
with illusions of fate
straight after our hopes
to heal anything.
As the #elixir endures
death within a kaleidoscope
driven by more than mind.
Soon enough some reality
will calibrate light to let
darkness invade failed
vision of existence.

‘These icebreaker things are cool,’

‘Yeah, it forces us out of our shells.’

‘So, tell me, what do you do that’s special?’

‘Well, I guess you could say I sell a magical #elixir to help people who are addicted to alcohol.’

‘Really? Like a new age therapist?’

‘No. I’m a bartender.’

'Pixie, what's that awful stench?'
'I'm brewing an #elixir, Gabe.'
'You'd think an elixir would smell better. What does it do?'
'Ummm... cures troll farts.'
'Why did I ask? Just get it out the house. I'll return when it clears.'
'...aaaand he's gone. Now where did he hide those brownies?'

sweetest dreams
sweeter #elixir
easing the pain
soothing the ache

lonely nights
aren't so cold no more

If ever you #freefall into the blues
an #effective #elixir is to forgo the news
ignore the orange #piggy
the #wildfires and wars
#harness in #sunshine
enjoy the outdoors
