Serious Person

                 You clenched  my mind ,

                  Likewise my body

                  In yours, and you said,

                “.Words are the heart of magic.”

                  Then squeezed me  until,

                  released from my answers,

                  I let visions appear,

                   spirits I had  banished

                  By logic, from fear.

                  

                  You are  a serious person,

                   I am  a conjurer ,

                   By simple sleight –of –heart

                   I vanish your frown.

Hello Stephen, i'm not sure for the reason, if there needs to be one to comment. I am compelled by the sheer depth of this, almost propelled to read it several times. You leave me mesmerized. Suzy
