HOUDINI

shall i say i love you?

when you stir my waters,

and cause a raging wave,

yet when the tempest roars,

you say 'calm!'

and all is still.

I was a pack of cards,

i felt shuffled,

then placed in a shoe,

i was your ace,

in the final hand.

a gambit against life.

With your wand you had me,

you cast a spell,

i was enchanted,

i tried to break free,

but you got me hypnotized.

My master i slave,

the expert magician

you deceived the mind

rather than the eye

then crept to my heart.
