Love Weaves a Mysterious Magic Spell

"Love weaves a mysterious magic spell"
when first it comes. Oh, how can you explain
that feeling that so many know so well?

It comes to guys or gals. Some feel insane!
You’re often transfixed once you’ve been hit
by Cupid’s arrow, for you’ll strongly feel
so very strange. What magic is in it?

You might not sleep or eat it’s so unreal.
I know I hardly slept or ate too much
when love had struck me spell-bound for a while.
I wrote sweet verses longing for his touch,
which praised his eyes, his hair, his warmth and smile!

Oh, yes, we've all felt it! Insanity! Being transfixed. Thanks for lovely piece, Andrea. By the way, in case you haven't seen my message re "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" for Celtica Radio (radio network), introduced by a chap called Dave Carrington, well, it's there now. You can hear it if you can find him (https://www.celticaradio.com/). And read (with an English accent, of course!) by me!"
