Magic

It’s just an illusion
that softly stirs sadness within my broken heart’s
confusion.

I have been tricked.
I'm seduced by the Queen of Tarts -
and pricked.

Voodoo
casts magic darts -
you.

 It’s just an illusion,
 I'm seduced by the Queen of Tarts -
 you.

Linda - there is something captivating about a Lewis Caroll connected poem - add the Great British Bake-Off and you are on to a winner. Levity aside - this is a beautiful thing and I love it (fav) x
