Modern Magic

Naïve minds can barely perceive
The tricks that reside up a sleeve
Surgery plastic
Achieves the fantastic
Deception men want to believe

I like to think we can look deep into a person's soul and treat them with the respect they deserve. Attraction to looks is something funny really. External beauty doesn't last and when men walk away from a marriage in divorce, I often wonder about what happened.

Thank you for reading my You poem. I believe I was watching a commercial of a male sitting on a park bench in the rain. He lost his dog or something like that :)

Linda, I think you are right to imagine that words can do the same. You must have seen or read Cyrano at some point. That piece explores the power of words in a wonderful way.

Hi Duke, thank you for your comments, yes I live a wonderful life and have a wish to show others how, I beleive our thoughts controll our future, positive thoughts send you on a roll of positivity, same as negitive thoughts send you down,we try to keep our bodies healthy by diet and exersise, but more important is a healthy mind, it's so easy to spiral down but just as easy to spiral up! All we need is inspired thoughts, and to act upon them! love Simone ps love all your limericks!
