Believe In Magic

In youth’s fantasies, passion fuels imagination. But instincts tell you love is more than infatuation. Morality's boundaries define who you think you are. In the guise of innocence, promiscuity's not far. In your world of happiness, trust is but an illusion. And faithfulness is part of reality's delusion. Exaltation and sorrow establish flexible norms. And the fickle winds of fate create emotional storms. But hope helps maintain your smile, anything less is tragic. For when you're young and in love, you still believe in magic. (Quatrain) 7/5/2015

Awesome juxtaposition between: "trust is but an illusion. And faithfulness is part of reality’s delusion." and "For when you’re young and in love you should believe in magic." Very powerful, Emile.

I followed your trend of thought with ease and approval, Emile. Love is magical in itself; keeping the spell working depends on us. Have a nice day! // paul
