Prestidigitation
A sense of freedom adorns quiet words;
spoken with laughter's pleasant creation,
accents clash in initial whispered scenes
while hello's rhythm captures love's sparkle.
She's a fingertip's swirl in an ocean
who waves a universe of coloured light
across perfection's illusory themes,
and with a sigh of sensual music
chords are plucked with spiritual vision.
Imagery streaks through soft magical stars
as curls of prestidigitation smile
performance in a poetic promise;
assurance quietly slips within verse.
