What Is This Spell

What is this spell? It makes me pine
And wish that we could intertwine;
Conjoined in body and in soul,
Our essence but a single whole.

What is this spell? This sorcery
That takes such powerful hold of we?
For you as well beholden be
And yearn for deep intimacy.

What is this spell? This magic trick
Of which some Wizard took his pick,
And then intoned his incantation
To launch us into love's sensation.

What is this spell? This broth so rich
Brewed by devious Cupid's Witch,
That coats his arrows to the heart
With potent potions that love impart.

What is this spell? This powerful charm
That traps our souls but does no harm.
Steeping them in gentle mist
By purest love they have been kissed.

What is this spell? Pray question not
The Why, the Wherefore nor the What.
Accept it as our destiny:
Full revel in love's mystery.
P. Finne. 2019

Beautiful! Wow, that captures cupid's arrow exactly! Though I have not yet experienced the "does no harm" part, I look forward, with hope, to experiencing a happily ever after someday, if not only in my dreams. 😉

I hope you indeed find it.

Can I use this? My daughter is getting married and she asked me to give a secular reading at the wedding. (Actually it is I Do, part 2, they got married in Vegas a few months ago. This one will have all the families present, or as many as can make it.)

Please do. Poetry is written to be disseminated.
