Magic Trick
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

Magic Trick
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

Magic Act
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

The heartbeats,
The breaths you breathed,
The steps taken in your

Questionable Thomas and the Magic Trick
Thomas always asked questions
That is how he learned his lessons
To celebrate the end of third grade
Books were exchanged for a trip in a fair trade
His class went to the local magic show
Filled with illusions on the go
There was an attractive lady that came on to the stage
Smiling at the

Magic Trick,
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

My Last Magic Trick
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
