Your Entrancing Magic

Words to depict your entrancing magic
My lips find none to utter
Images to portray your entrancing magic
My mind finds none to paint
Gestures to display your entrancing magic
My hands find none to demonstrate

So let me ask—what entrancing magic did you use on me?
My emotions are a jumble of pain and dread and glee
Not my mind nor my soul nor my heart comprehends it
This entrancing magic you used on me

It began with a joyful dream
Filled with glistening sunshine and melodious birdsong
Perhaps it was a mere illusion
Just another part of your entrancing magic
Yet you drew me into this mesmerizing world of yours
Like a mother gently pulling her child towards her
Where there is warmth and tenderness and reassurance
Resisting your enchantment was beyond my control
For it brought me sincere pleasure and delight
A happiness I could never find elsewhere
But in this enthralling fantasy of yours

Once captivated by your charm
Escape was no longer an option
My heart latched its strings of love around you
My soul locked its keys of desire into you
Rendering me forever attached to you
Imprisoned by your entrancing magic

The pure glee and gladness I feel in your presence
The agonizing sorrow and pain I feel in your absence
The aching yearning and longing when I need you
The dreadful anguish and fear of losing you
Because of this spellbinding hypnosis of yours
This entrancing magic

I do not understand it all
But I have come to realize
That my eyes have shed more tears
Than laughter has escaped my mouth
My heart has suffered more distress
Than has leaped with joy
That your entrancing magic
May not even be magic at all
But a bewitching curse
