BLACK MAGIC WOMAN





What comes to your mind when u hear the words 'BLACK MAGIC WOMAN' ???

The term 'black' makes its sound eerie, evil of sorts...'Magic' makes it mysterious, mystical...and with that the word 'Woman' is like bang... sending shivers down your spine,a fantasy come true,


The combination of these three is deadly...
femme fatale
at its best...

Imagine...

a lady in black, tall and dusky,sleek and slender,
standing across the hallway,
shimmering in a satin black gown...
kissing the flute of wine,
with a sparkling necklace adorning her neck,
her earrings playing hide n seek,
her glances casting spells on everyone,


with a mesmerizing calmness on her face,
she looks at you,
you shy away,
look again, and she's still here...
but what's this...
she's coming your way,
her eyes hypnotising you as you struggle to get free,
her killer stilettos freezing time with every step,

the once distant figure... now becoming true by the second,

her disarming smile,
inching closer with every step,

enticing the evil within,
dissolving everything else into darkness,
she is right there in front of you,

as you struggle to catch your breath,
sorting out jumbled words tumbling down in your mind,

reinforcing yourself, you hold your breath...

but hey.... whats this....

she just swam past you...

haplessly , gasping for air, you gather yourself,
whats left of her is her hypnotising aroma,
as you try to take the last whiff,

there she is ... walking away...
trying to figure out what just happened,
you suddenly notice...

her eyes grab your your attention,
she turns her head a little, stealing a glance of you...
you catch her eyes red handed... and her smile knives down your heart...

with a thirst in your eyes, you are left asking for more...


You wouldn't help but wonder why i tell u all this... ???

WHY ???


I tell u all this... for i know one such lady... ;)


" I got a Black Magic Woman.
I got a Black Magic Woman.
Yes, I got a Black Magic Woman,
She's got me so blind I can't see;
But she's a Black Magic Woman and
she's trying to make a devil out of me.

Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby,
Don't mess around with your tricks;
Don't turn your back on me, baby,
'cause you might just wake up my magic sticks.

You got your spell on me, baby.
You got your spell on me, baby.
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby,
Turnin' my heart into stone;
I need you so bad,
Magic Woman I can't leave you alone. "


- 'Black Magic Woman' by Carlos Santana
