Poetry by Rowan Evans

✦ Author’s Note ✦

A companion to Blood Oath Between Witches, this piece is a spell of surrender and resurrection—a covenant forged between two souls unafraid to burn. It’s about sacred destruction, the devotion it takes to let someone see you shatter, and the holiness of being rebuilt in love’s fire. A poem for those who understand that ruin and reverence are often the same thing.

✦ Invocation ✦

Step close, where shadow and ember meet,
where the night bends beneath our pulse.
Leave fear at the threshold,
bring only hands ready to craft and destroy.
Here, devotion is a hammer,
and surrender is sacred.
Breathe the smoke, taste the ash,
for every fragment of you is an altar waiting
to be rebuilt in fire.

Rebuild Me in Fire
Poetry by Rowan Evans

Break me, only if your hands can build temples from ruin.
I am not afraid to shatter—
glass is only dangerous when it’s left unclaimed.

I will become the shape your soul remembers,
if you promise to meet me there,
where devotion bleeds into becoming.

Unmake me, if you must—
but do it gently,
and with reverence.

I will burn down everything I was
to stand beside you in the dark,
our sparks writing scripture across the smoke.

You’ll be my ruin,
and I’ll be your resurrection.
Together, we’ll call it love—
and the world…

The world will call it blasphemy.

✦ Benediction ✦

May the fire that consumes leave only sacred stone,
the ruins of what once was,
molded into the shape of us.
May every crack, every scar, every ember
be a hymn, a memory, a covenant.
Walk forward, you and I,
rebuilt, unafraid, eternal in the quiet heat
of what only we have dared to call love.
