My Magician Poem by Barima Basoah

The long wondered formation of rainbow by nature,
the beautiful shape of snowflakes formed by nature,
the tricky picture of mirage played by nature,
the rare eclipses and many works of nature,
that science has explained and can prove.

Splendid fantasies when I think of you,
powerful mesmerizing when I see you,
burning sensations when I touch you,
lovely feelings when I am with you,
curious facts that science cannot prove.

Just a word from you, soo mystic,
I don't understand, I don't over stand,
soo feeble in my voice that I can't speak.
just a touch from your powerful fingers,
soo feeble in my veins that I can't stand.

Your radiance has enchanted me,
hypnotized I undoubtedly believe you,
whether miracles or tricks am fooled,
I believe you will create paradise,
my life to you only, for merchandise.

Body of wonder, doer of wonders,
I doff off my hat and with a bow to you,
let me serve you, let me worship you,
that you will do magic for me,
that in my life you will do wonders.
