I am an alchemist of the social kind,

Not one of the elemental,

A few tweaks of traits that I can make,

For a persona transcendental.

When I’m at work I add more charm,

A dash of self-deprecation,

Throw in some well maintained wit,

For any job-based situation.

When I’m with friends, reduce the calm,

Add some shenanigans for fun,

A pinch of mischief I may add,

If the perfect moment comes.

When I...

The little old man in the conical hat

Smiled as he passed by his hanging pet bat

Then he got to his chair it was there that he sat

And proceeded to get down to work

He reached across the table to get to the jar

That was filled to the brim with magic from afar

So special to him it was marked with a star

It as then that he opened the lid

Looking inside he saw a chunk of base metal

Bought from t...

(Not the prompt)

The most perfect expression

How your cheeks grow

When your eyes glow

How wonderful that smile could make someone feel

As bright as the sun

Nothing I’d rather see

Than that face grinning happily

Happy and free

A smile is perfect

It spreads so easily

How happy it makes me

Every time it’s seen

Could you smile?

Yes, you

Your smile is beutiful too

Smile for me?

It’s all I’d want t...

He would show them,

The alchemist grumbled

Slaming the door on the jeering crowd

Who called his work infantile

And unimportant

Their voices of ridicule ever so loud

From all of the elements

In his possession

There was one that he had never used

If he could make something

Unseen by mankind

The crowd would be shoked, baffled and confused

They peered through the window

He labored for hours

Shiel...

A poor alchemist wanted the recipe for gold because he was short on money

But diddnt know how, so he whent to search for the recipe for gold. He soon came across a run down cabin, he walked in the cabin and found a chest, there was a lock so he whent out side and looked for a big rock to smash open the cache, he found a rock and proceeded to smash the chest till it opened. spiders crawled out and ...

To make one into another

One must think beyond one thought

For change does not come easy

Mad he is called

Shunned by all

The man continues

For change does not come easy

Science said no

He pushed on

Change is important

For change does not come easy

Water to ice

Change is possible

Science said no, he proved wrong

For change can be easy,

If you know how to...

Gold

The Queen of Sheba fell,

Well, she dove, really, for pearls.

She dove down past caring what would happen to her after,

What we would say about her centuries later,

How she was seduced, how she was a fool.

The best of us know that, to become gold, we first have to burn.

Gold is soft, it can be marked with a finger.

Most of what surrounds it is extra.

To make it beautiful, it has to be burned.

- One lump of coal (preferably from a naughty kid’s stocking)

- A cockatrice egg (this one calls for quiet stalking)

- One large bundle of Revrious Xolder

- All four leaves of a four leaf clover

- A single drop of water from the wretched River Styx.

- The blood of a frog and the tears of a hog (use caution not to mix).

- One perfectly portioned cup of salt that’s lost it’s taste.

- An ...

brewed up the just the right environment

the wave of leaves, the fall of water. towering trees, swaying mountains.

all made in his graceful splendor.

and to whom do i give thanks for these elements added? my reaction to it all is awe and wonder.

it’s my place of refuge, arms of comfort.

i’ll give thanks to the creator of love when i receive those provisions as a gift from above. so often i assum...

Every metal I touch soon turns to gold

Iron, steel, rusted or old.

Every step that I take, chains are wrapped around me

For I only serve as a treasure to keep.

My magical hands wield power beyond me

But they don’t understand, and they beg for the key.

I am seen like a god which they try to please

But I am worth as much as the air that they breath.

I’m not worth more than cattle

I’m not worth mo...
