What Manner of Magic?

What manner of magic enters the world,
When lovers cross into timelessness?
This ship of fools never docks
But goes forever on into the night
Lights twinkling on and off
Eyes shining, hearts beating.


Gods and Goddesses smile and sigh
Romancing in vicarious delight
As earth’s children stumble
Over their own hearts and minds
Into lost love and harsh words
Only to rise again into the fray

Love in its trueness possesses no man
More true is man is possessed by love
And for love he will fly into the sun
Fearing not soulful incineration
Defying all that is prudent and wise
To rest upon a soft caressing hand
