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:

I’m not sure if I’d want a relationship like this if it had to end. I like the magnetic relationship DH and I have. We have a super-magnetic hold that we just hate to break and it bothers us to be apart. That’s difficult for some to imagine but we’re just that close. Anywho, your piece is nicely done!
The poem is about an instant magnetic attraction that’s so intense it burns itself out. Nothing like the long-term magnetic relationships you and I have with our mates, Cathy. This is definitely better! 🙂
I haven’t heard that song in a long time, Debbie. It’s a good one!
The song is a classic, and it went so well with the poem. 🙂
I had a magic woman in my life once. It was too much for both of us, and burnt itself out brightly, like a falling star.
Nice work, Debbie. Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you, Pete. That is the nature of such a relationship. But it was fun while it lasted, yes? 😃
That was intense, Debbie! Great post! ❤️🔥
Thank you, Nancy! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I like the Magic Man song – I had not heard it in years. No Magic Man for me, but that’s okay too. 🙂
Magic men/women come and go! 🙂 That song plays on Classic Rock radio all the time here. It’s based on Ann Wilson’s real-life experience.
Yes they do Debbie! I hope Ann Wilson’s cancer diagnosis will have a positive outcome – it appears from what I read that it was a favorable result.
Yes, by all accounts, Ann is doing well. Heart has scheduled another tour, so that’s a positive sign.
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! ❣️
Thank you so much, Eugi! 🙂 I appreciate the link up opportunity. Excellent prompt. 👌
My pleasure, Debbie!
I remember that song but I have not heard it for a while until now.
It plays on Classic Rock Radio here all the time. 🙂 Based on a true story as well.
Good to read your poem – I like it! I also like the Magic Man song! 🙂
Thanks, Barbara! 🙂 It’s a classic song, for sure, based on Ann Wilson’s actual life experience.
