Casting spells with magical charms, Supernaturally intriguing. Magical are the illusions, Delusions so mystifying. Inexplicably spellbinding, Magic possessing passion’s place— Ardor called and discord dissolved Within the mist of magic’s kiss. Resplendence weakening the knees, Mystique- impossible to sleep— Bewitching- the wiles that beguile, Cunning cuteness ever charming. A kitten placed within the hat, Love appears and now so smitten. Placing loss in the magic booth, Waving the wand pain disappears. Magical intoxication, Wondrous tonic for the spirit— Drunkenness by fascination Sobering preoccupation— Ecstasy- the enlightenment fantasy, Magic’s contentment. Exaltation’s secret revealed, Magical means …meaningful dreams— 2 Seeing the hallucinations, Seeing beautiful creations, Happiness bought with delusions Blindness confused by illusions. Thinking the visions are freeing, Shrinking phantoms begin fleeing. Entering angels of darkness Centering life on your blackness— Abyss- home to the lost subjects, Exists all the aftereffects. Heart's drug the mistake of joy's fate, Darts tipped with poison make their date. Fantasy delivering bliss, Fancies captured with the first kiss, Swaying apparition departs, Searching the stage to find your smarts. 3 Tricks performed with skill on life’s stage, Some in the light- others in dark, Some make warm- others cold the heart But in either- I own my part. For what I own, I pay the wage As it is my choice to engage. The scenes unfolds in life’s sections— Life writes itself like a poet Pens a poem that doesn’t know it, Doesn’t know how it will all fit, Doesn’t know all the connections That will combine the reflections. Looking into magic’s mirror And being pulled into the glass Only to know that it will pass Into a world that won’t last— As the fantasy comes clearer The Illusion’s end gets nearer. In the glass lives the Queen of Hearts With the power over the cards; Even with the mirror in shards She controls the fondest regards. But with the reflections now in parts I’m lost in the magical arts. It was by choice that I entered Into the mirror of my time, The time reflecting my life’s climb, The time in which I hear the chime Of charms before the glass fractured And scattered what I had centered. 4 Sitting upon the darkened floor, Without the light that made it glow, Is the mirror of the time before, The time before I came to know. But knowing does not bring an end To reflections held within— And on the stage of the pretend Sits the time of what could have been. In the smoke of a magic act Drifts the illusion draped in lies. The trick is to conceal fact And hide the truth from the eyes. But the eyes cannot be deceived By what is said during the trick The trick of words can’t be believed Nor can the hands that move so quick. However, it’s the fantasy— The dream and hope that is real; And I know that what my eyes see Is clouded by the way I feel. Of the magic, I am still glad— Without it- there are empty dreams. Reflections of the good and bad Add to a life more than it seems. I knew the truth but lived the lie So that I could feel my heartbeat; Now it is time to say goodbye And leave behind my empty seat.
