Old Black Magic Arrow & Simply This

OLD BLACK MAGIC ARROW
Love finds you
In the strangest of places
At coordinates most unexpected
With matched arrows stuck into the
Least likely of targets--
When I look at you sometimes
It is with a weary eye
Questioning what magic spell
Was used to string my heart so tight
Because you've wound me in ways I never
Saw coming and bound me to you
So seamlessly that I feel like I came
Out of the blue and around the bend
Only to bump into you again and
Again and never truly meet
Until the potion was concocted
To be its most potent and 
Pure.

SIMPLY THIS
Simply this:
I feel
unconfined
by logic
&
of course
time and space
being as they are
and in cahoots
with money too...
Well, let me just say--
I exist and feel
existence is to be lived
 with some degree of
brevity and impulse, yes
but most importantly
to the tune of 
talks and walks and hugs and love
of all of those you hold
most dear
because
time will run out
and space will shrink
and money will be spent
down to its dry, cracked knobs
and in the end 
all you'll have left is
the memories of experience
and how you felt
and those you loved
