Best Magic Trick Poems
I was thinking
It would be different
Seems familiarity breeds contrition.
All I get from you is competition;
You used to listen, now you are always contrite;
At all cost, you wanted to be right,
While I wanted to be effective.
We are getting nowhere fast,
me feeling more neglected.
When your wrongs, became too strong
It was time for me to get gone.
You complained and nitpicked
You were supposed to be my safe world.
Follow the trail of tears
There is a message to be found
Loud and clear.
If you had paid attention
To the signs, read the handwriting on the wall.
Yet, you got the mess, and missed the message,
I pulled out all the tricks I knew,
desperate to continue loving you;
Even when the thrill was gone,
I still stayed, and prayed yet,
you made our bed with thorns,
I pulled out my magic wand
And abracadabra said, “horns be gone”.
I begged for your tender side;
I was tired of the “paper chase”
Sex was more like marital rape.
I needed that extra kiss and hug
there will be no makeup sex;
As you walk around the bedroom and flexed.
Since you love only yourself
I am going somewhere else.
Before I become reclusive,
Your sense of humor is abusive.
I felt there was no use;
Tonight, there’ll be; no dinner waiting:
No more anticipating; just a note, to say
“You're not funny -just a joke”
Tired of dangling on this rope.
Life is too short- I’m out like smoke.
I made a conscious choice to leave.
Needed room to breathe.
Going elsewhere to seek my needs
Breaking the ties that bind.
Searching to find, my own mind.
Your wrong is too strong-
And your right is too light.
Whatever be my plight,
I’ll take my chances elsewhere.
I’ll be finding my future without you”
Abracadabra, I am gone!
Driven virginal ice blizzard, whitewashed in puddles
Duck fluff repelling vehicle, rabid rain bites panels
Arrival of evening, two fools fuse their first of April
Abode above average, horizon fire glows on angel
Teeming ambition triggers digger, strings gay tinsel
Portrays titanium rays of central star burn essential
Tree bauble shifts indeterminate, Earth resplendent
Pine green needle necklace, spinning gilt pendant
Pendulum bells in tower drop ropes for Crescendo
Concave accolades hide fluidity quit quick Crypto
Presents piled overlapping countdown to Christmas
Car race excel brings adrenaline finish line climax
Sly slit thin grin golden grimace violet sky crescent
Moon's multitudinous kept secrets gaslight residents
Spun line unseen supports sparkling pink accessory
Melted marshmallow molest paste palate pleasantly
Endurance promised swallows doldrums resentment
Enthused level thirty lightning thorn entrenchment
Faithful needing sights sleigh flight Saint Nicholas
Father is growth motivated to bestow future riches
29th November
Twinkle finger, Nissan, NTHUZED
Growing up in a racist world
Doesn't matter if your a boy or a girl
It will never change, it's all the same
People enjoy inflicting pain
Hurt feeling's for saying the wrong word
People really are disturbed
It was bad, but now it's worse
The past is a horrific curse
People protest and scream and yell
Living in their own personal hell
Keep trying to find a fix
Emotions are extremely mixed
It's all a massive magic trick
A tad jealous
A tad hurt
A tad feeling of slight
A comment offered, and considered
A response maybe tinged with a little spite
Conversation ends
Confidence takes a hit
Mood takes a plunge
My heart strings tugged a bit
How can you just pull the curtain when you welcome her familiar face?
Someone to share a couple days and nights
Lie beside you in that empty space
But, this is not your first performance
Nor is this, my first magic show
I really should know all the tricks by now
Doorbell! Quick! Put on that smiley 'Hello'
Pull that rabbit out of your hat
Shoo those true feelings back in their places
Safeguard them tightly, behind that mask
Lest they be revealed, or worse, displaced
The emotional carpet ride begins
When your weekend companion appears
One wave of your magic wand
And that's my cue to disappear
3, 2, 1...Poof

Reframe the vision they see of your life
make it seem real easy put on a show;
They tend to wield your past just like a knife;
Selfies and status updates you outgrow
reset the loop just let them think they know;
Create an illusion laced with control;
Put those vacant views into a black hole,
walk away turn your back on what’s toxic;
What is visible is never the whole;
Just stack that deck become a magic trick.
The Magic Trick of Checking Out
By David J Walker
Now you see ‘em
Now you don’t
The magic trick of
Checking out
Leaving familiar traces of
A Lived life
Lived like
Only they could live
Now you want to
But you won’t
Say the things you
Meant to say
What was the final count of
The heartbeats,
The breaths you breathed,
The steps taken in your
Whole life
Leaving faint footprints
With all the others
Turned to dust
Did you leave food
In the fridge
Expecting another meal?
What happened to the
Weight of your body
Consumed in
The funeral pyre
What may we learn
From the ashes in the urn
Where you hide
Until we release you
Into the wind over the
Mountain
Once we saw you
Now we won’t
In the full view
Of a church pew
Where you prayed for
Reconciliation
Would you mind if
I took this seat
At least for
Another few years?
Magick
It's Not A Trick!
To look through your Mind's Kaleidoscope
To give you hope
And in the dark you don't have to grope
Magick
It'll cut you to the quick
And wet your wick
Make you mighty sick
Magick
You should learn
Or your fingers will burn
If from dark and light you cannot discern
Magick
Always exist in the light
Where you have second sight
Where all is and is right
Magick
Will help you realize
What you can see with your eyes
Inside your mind, you'll find the dreams that you've mined
Magick
Is a Rhyme
And you will find
Yourself lost in time
As the second hand unwinds
Magick
Find a needle to stick
Choose a finger to prick
Cause it requires Blood
From the Full Moon and the Sun
Magick
Just a little bit
In your life
Can cause a lot of strife
Magick
The Mystical, Magical it
Have a care
You must beware
Magick
Flies Swift
Your head around
Lifts your feet up off of the ground
Magick
The odd oder that you whiff
Have a proper good sniff
Not too much, you'll get stiff
Magick
Have a swig
Swig some Booze
A Witches Brew
Magick
Smoke a Cig
It will grow you big
It you will find groovy and dig
Magick
Give voice to it
While wearing a Black Hat and Suit
It's Toads Tongue and Eye of Newt
Magick
Your wisdom and witt
When your Magicks done
It was all just a jest for Fun...
