*Magic*
Was it a magic spell
a Cupid’s arrow
that hit the heart
so strongly
And now –
it bleeds in sweetness
For the first time
My thoughts like birds
like our screaming gulls
outside the window
fly only where you are
It must have been magic
creating a world for us
a palace
a castle
with the happy walls around it
a place no one would find
a fantasy of our own
My heart – enchanted
wants to keep you
Selfishly
Greedily
And now –
your verdict is
to stay in that prison
For the first time
And locked forever

Sometimes Cupid’s arrow shoots through our entire self and fetters us to the wall. I hope one day you will be able to fly again.
Oh what a dark thought, Martin… I thought I wrote a happy poem here…. 🙂
