I once believed love was magic
Bewitching, charming and not tragic,
But, all that I found was heartache and confusion
Love in reality to me, is a magician's illusion.
Feelings are just trickery and slight of the hand
They are meticulously and spiritually planned,
On a relationship I once truly tried to focus
But, all that I found, was cheap hocus pocus.
In love or magic I no longer faithfully believe
Two people meant to be soulmates I can't conceive,
In a world of liars and cheaters, and this one and that
Love? I would rather see a rabbit pulled out of a hat.

Randy, your poem is very well done, but I'm sorry that you have not experienced true love as many people have. I do not believe that there is just one person in the world that each one of us should marry. I think that there are thousands of possible choices for each of us, but the secret is to be committed and true to each other. Somebody once said that if you can't marry the one you love, at least love the one you marry. I always enjoy your poems, Randy. Keep writing.
Thank you. I was hurt severely by my wife (now ex) , anything a loved one suppose to do to another, she did it to me.
