practicing magic

A Poem by paul

light practicing
magic
on the water

the sky tired of gambling

nighttime afraid of the day
like hearts
afraid of love

. ah, yes ... but i wonder sometimes if it's "the thought of being afraid of love" ... which is comforting ... so comforting ... that we can fearlessly love ... without having to face that we love ... or express that we love ... something like what eben goes through every day ... thinking that he can't do what he is already doing ... but too afraid to know ... sometimes, we're so overwhelmed that we can't bear to believe that we're overwhelmed ... while love has the last laugh always ... for it's always there ... just watching us ... trying to fight it ... when we've already lost to it ...

Believe me
Believe me not
The wand stares dis affectionately
Love's pure
but elusive

- the fear of love - is the love itself - the presence of fear - stamps the presence of love - and just like that - twilight becomes - the most magical part of the day - where nighttime - meets the day - even for a moment - in heaven - and yes - i always agree with serah - and with sir hart - :) -
