The magician purrs on my chest
And tells me to close my eyes.
With a flick of her tail
Poof!
She made hours vanish in seconds.

Ritual (National Poetry Writing Month 2024 #18) Leave a comment
Whirling magic subsumes my mind and soul
Fractals and phantasms flying past me
Dulcet tones of infinity ringing
As the everything opens before me
I am you, we are her, and she is all
I am a newborn and an ancient crone
The rocks and the trees breathe deep my essence
Bathing in the divine and mystical
Before I depart true reality
Retaining the indelible markings
Of the cosmos and universe itself

Poem for the 4 of diamonds Leave a comment
At the beginning of this trick,
A single card I had you pick.
Now wouldn’t it be cool, wouldn’t it be great?
If I could now eliminate
The other cards that aren’t yours?
After doing that, we’re left with fours.
Only three cards left go,
So I’ll reveal that I now know,
The card in question has a tip
So clubs is out and we’ll also slip
Out spades because the card is red.
Now, (beat) let it be said,
I’m no Shakespeare, no great bard
But a magician. Sir, is that your card?
