n.
Juste judex ultionis,
donum fac remissionis!
Ante diem rationis!
i.
Churning, tumbling red wine o' sky
Sail their silk on silver strides:
A will and wail, where whims were well,
Bids a kindly hand to the day new spell...
ii.
An anchored body lies in heat:
Of beads and diamonds strewn from meat...
Witches three prance and bow
'Round the ring of wicked vow...
iii.
Fingers dance in flames of craft,
Printing daggers in their path...
Mix the mind and grip the soul
For weakly hearts are theirs for gold...
iv.
An herb and thistle grow in sin:
The dastardly plot is his to pin...
Tanistry whirls at the swing
For at a death, he is king...
v.
Bubble, bubble toil and rubble;
A lifeless body sleeps in double...
Witches three cackle and drool-
'Round the ring of bloody fools...
vi.
Knighted is he, who on that day,
Swore to hell, and got his way...
Dead is he, who speaks the story,
For searing blades fold in glory…
Vines tell no tale-
But that alone,
Did weave a plot
As thick as bone…
Speak not these ramblings to friend or foe,
‘Else thee be weary of his soul…
Mark not its passage, or its seed,
For unwept soil does not feed...

I'm coming back tomorrow when I'm more awake to nitpick your metre in a few small places, easy fixes. But this is just marvellous, well done!

Thanks
vi. would have to be my favorite grouping, but I enjoyed them all.
