For the Voir Dire on Love contest by Suzette Richards
New love--my heart is blazing The very touch of my skin is electric I own all the worlds I fly thru the starry skies The stars slip through my fingers as I clasp them to my heart then dance with the clouds it's magic to be in love but does magic last or is it only the fading memory of our kiss that lingers in the night air now doubt has crept in and shadows my joy do you feel this love or am I but a moment in time's journey To feel like an undefinably rare gem and then crash with a sad realization you may be like the others to spin a daydream with but a single kiss how grasping is that I must remember daydreams and magic lands are childish wishes we had to leave behind
