A Magical Spell

In the twilight, amid the cacophony of a birthing evening light 
the scent of petrichor, boardwalk talks in standstill time  
Discarded yellow buckets feet of clay that toed in tight,  
imperviously swift to a descending sun your eyes in slow met mine  
suddenly you were a somber California boy in my parade  
I was quick to draw a spell with the magic  of my jade 
Magical Spells 
A sorcery of love 
Girl meets boy 
In the most clandestine way 
California land of dreams  
Another place another time, love bloomed with grace
crystal ball fantasies, we both flew from place to place  
Married 
A
Girl 
Infatuatedly 
Crazy 
in the twilight, amid the cacophony of a birthing evening light 
she walked me to the beach, then introduced me to the night.

Gosh, do you think guys are ever this enchanted?-- No, please, don't answer that. I was just kidding. Really. We are magical too. ~ Magic Kist

I just had to sigh at the beauty of this verse. It is wonderfully composed, with very pleasing imagery. Enjoy your weekend, Evelyn
