black magic has this dark sinister reputation. there has always been a lighter side. when in the hands of reckless and harmful intentions black magic can destroy populations of people by conjuring spells of mischief, spells to break hearts. it can turn someone cynical and cold. but what happens when the hands of good illicit the power? it dispels evil. black magic has positive uses to fill hearts and save souls. black magic is love and love is an elixir. blackmagic is about the side of a story never been told. fill yourself with love poems from the blinking cursor series.

to those who have lost love, found love, been hurt by love, are in love, who want love; these are words to encourage you, affirm you, lift you, praise you, honor you, touch you, comfort you, love you. for those looking to understand you.
