Magician's Tune Poem by Vixen Kaye

This happened once upon a time
When love and magic used to rhyme
There lived a magician so true
One that could baffle me and you

He lived in a land far away
In a castle watching the bay
A castle carved from precious stone
A castle standing on its own

He had hair as dark as midnight
Eyes like sapphire shining so bright
Quick fingers and a panther's grace
A touch like silk, a price like lace

Lips so red, a hint of a smile
A dark knight on a chessboard tile
A flock of birds, a deck of cards
A heart afraid of love he guards

He'd walk on air, eat fire as well
He'd teach you tricks if you won't tell
Rabbits out of hats, fire that's cold
Flowers out of thin air, threads of gold

A flick of a wrist, fingers snap
A magic wand, a gentle tap
Lightning shooting from fingertips
Peals of laughter and gasps on lips

In the village he's roam each day
Sometimes the forest or the bay
He'd stay awake throughout the night
His shadow against first daylight

At night haunts the question of 'why? '
'Why does the world seem like a lie? '
'Why does everything seem too late? '
'Is it our decision or Fate's? '

One early morn, along the bay
He lost all words that he could say
Came such magic that beat his art
Someone's caught the magician's heart

Her steps seemed like a dance on air
With silk and ebony for hair
Eyes that spoke better than wise lips
Magic sparkling on fingertips

Her laughter, chimes in early spring
In a voice so light, she would sing
Of morning dew traced by soft tips
Of light kisses on lover's lips

Her touch lights fire against his skin
His heart then asks 'where have you been? '
Yet his mind screams 'she'll make you cry'
'don't believe her, it's all a lie'

He'd watch her each day from afar
At such magic never at par
A look at her face, just one glance
Maybe, just maybe, one slim chance

He walks by day with her in mind
Wishing their fingers were intertwined
Wondering 'why' and 'how' by night
When his eyes close, she's in sight

He took his chance and said 'hello'
Faith at something he didn't know
And just when he thought 'this is wrong'
She smiled 'I've known you for so long'

He knew as he looked in her eyes
Never the same will be the skies
She was that special spell, he knew
A true sorceress among few

And right then he knew it at last
Such magic, a new spell was cast
A promise, a kiss, just one wish
A moment of magic to cherish
