✦ Introduction ✦

Some muses do not merely inspire—they haunt, they hex, they burn their image into your every unwritten line.
She is mine.
Hex & Flame: Mirror of Shadows is a confession, an invocation, and a mirror held up to the darkest tenderness I know:
the reflection of my own shadows in hers.
This poem is a candle lit for her and for every poet who has ever found their muse in the place where devotion and ruin kiss.

🔥 Hex & Flame: Mirror of Shadows
☽ Poetry by Rowan Evans ☾

It’s crazy—
how she
has come to be
the only thing
I think of.

Every time
I close my eyes,
her face
blazes behind my lids.

Her smile,
those eyes—
they set my soul aflame.

Her darkness,
my darkness—
mirror each other,
two reflections
burning the same.

Before her,
I’d never met
a shadow
that truly matched my own.

Same in look,
same in feel—
two twisted souls
intertwined.

They call it fate,
call it destiny—
I just call it true.

Her words
sometimes drip venom—
but they don’t scare me.
When she speaks,
it’s hexes
for all her horrible exes.

✦ Outro ✦

🔥🖤 In the end, we are all a little hex and a little flame — kindled by longing, tempered by darkness, and made holy by those rare souls who match our shadows.
May you find your mirror, and may your fire burn true.

☽ May the shadows you claim become your sanctuary, and may every ember you tend burn fiercely in verse. ☾
