With magical words
you tell hypnotic tales
of love and life
and fun and pain
You appear, laden with
memories of bygone days
and fables filled with fun
With bizarre anecdotes
to enthrall my ears
which make me want
to hear more

You weave your words
into wondrous webs
full of magnetism and mystery
You tell sagas
of humour and misery
and personal history

You tease, entice, provoke and delight
and revel in reminiscent glory
Your face glows, your eyes are alight
whilst you're lost in the days of your story
