My Hour 2 poem. Mahou (魔法) is the Japanese word for magic…

No tricks
No illusions
No miracles
No deception
No sleight of hand
No Houdini or Henning
No mystical mumbo-jumbo
No elaborate attempts at misdirection
No sparkly filters or rose-coloured spectacles

None of that

When eyes meet, the connection is made—
feelings sensed, warmth felt
sometimes intoxication

A moment, real or imagined
(what a day for a daydream…)

That’s where the magic is
