Like a Magician the hearts of his audience
Anxiety, excitement and all those things you bring
Are the consequence of obedience.
Obedient not to my mind
Which thinks and thinks
Till I've gone blind.
But to my heart
Which feels and wants
And dreams and fulfils
Right from the start
Pangs of jealousy when all the art
And Literature and music and more
Summon names that find their way
Into the life you live so full of lore
Not one brushstroke and not one word
Not one song played and not one note heard
Not one thought and not one heartbeat
Makes you think of me.
But then when we step out of make believe
Next to each other, hand in hand
We make work of our great retrieve
With one flash of sapphire eyes
In but one instant, my knotted stomach unties
Unfolds
Unwinds
Beholds
Be kind.
