The Magician


Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.




Mon Cheri 
To lay with you 

Would be to sleep in a bed of red roses
The thorns would entwine around us

As we held each other tight
Watching the world drown
And turn slowly to dust

My dark eyes
Undulating and spinning like 
A priceless kaleidoscope 
Filled with your 
Early morning prayers

Would invoke all the 
Heavenly angels 
To protect us 
As we laid 

Vulnerable to the worlds
Temptation and the dark
Angels which sometimes 

Visited us there

My sweetness 
From
Aeons ago

Shall I conjure up the
Shimmering undulating watery
Doorway to take

You to my secret enclave
From society 

Where the broken-hearted can
Heal and their hearts
No longer tear
