SPELLBOUND

     Our deepest human need is to be bound
     To one another by the charming bond
     Of love, which if it cannot soon be found
     Will sink us in a slough that’s called “Despond.”

     Charisma is the charm that most allures
     Another to be drawn into your arms,
     Making the possession solely yours
     And shielding your endearment from all harms.

          As humans we are born and bound to bond,
          As if, at birth, charmed by a magic wand.
