MAGIC MAN
She was grinning like a Cheshire Cat
Feeling gorgeous and wicked
and wishing that
It would never end…
This was madness, much too decadent
Lived only for the next interlude
Her feelings, so eloquent
It was bound to end…
Flames that burn too brightly are not easy to sustain
The Magic Man was losing interest
and she was in such pain
It was going to end…
She tried some last-ditch desperation ploys
This only served to make things worse
And now, there would be no more joys
This was the end!
Everyone should have a Magic Man or Woman in their lives, at least once, and for however briefly. The exhilaration is exquisite and the pain at the end, short-lived.
The Wilson sisters even wrote a song about it:

Wow! Great post, Debbie! Having a magic man or woman in one’s life can be fun, even if it’s short-term. I love Magic Man by The Wilson sisters, and it is played frequently on the radio station I listen to. Thank you so much for joining in! ❣️
I remember that song but I have not heard it for a while until now.
Good to read your poem – I like it! I also like the Magic Man song! 🙂
