Magician

Magician.

You spin me high in the air
In a dazzling carousel of
Lights speeding
Blinded bobbling up then down
Empty puppet on your beloved string

I fold my hands in terror
To be Let down unused
To this ecstasy
You spin me round, faster than my soul can bear
Loving me without mercy...

I can't sense shapes or colors or sounds
In glorious haze I twirl around
Set free in controlled motion in
Relentlessly undulating grooves
Moves me beyond compare...
Undoing me.

I shatter and splinter in
A million prisms....
My tears are colored baubles,
Bubbles of light for you
To wear ...and dismiss
Blown away in ecstasy, freed
By a whiff of your magic breath.

Only then that you
Take me down safely
Stop building castles in the air
Stand me heads up
on solid ground.

Pinned by your adoring gaze
I am the chrysalis released
Your beautiful butterfly in the air
No longer spinning around.

Frozen....for just
one moment in time.
