You

You.

You must be a super secret spy,
You must be FBI and MI5
for your lie detectors and gadgets
can hide no lies and deceit,
steel doors of smiles and show open
at one touch of a button.

You must be an alchemist,
You must have studied under Faust
for you change ordinary to extraordinary,
weaving metal into gold,
bubbling away the sweet potions
without a philosopher's stone


You must be a magician,
You must be like Houdini, Blackstone, Maskelyne
for with one magic word and puff of smoke
flowers and white doves appear,
feathers and ribbons and glitter shower from the sky.
With no strings attached, I float in air.    

You must be a time traveler,
You must get it from Dr Who, Dr Emmett brown
for you exist in past, present and future
Whir of the Tardis, rev of DeLorean,
Loved, loving and will always love,
photos and fossils fade in comparison.

You must be a hypnotist,
You must have got your list from Mesmer,
for you turn a girl with a swing of your clock
blushes of red, racing of the heart
mysteriously manifest near you
and the waking word is forgotten.

You must be love
You must be the muse of Eros
For the world changed in color
even the breeze taste sweeter
your name on my lips,
and I am in want of nothing else.
