I would love to see a closing stanza that combines the two subjects with some finality! This is really good and I enjoyed reading it, thank you for sharing! I think the second have in the love line throws off the rhythm and works better without it! snaps

I like the implied connection of magic and love. My favorite like is “I hear seductive hints with clarity”. It’s almost like that itself is a magic trick you’ve learned. I almost wish there was a little more...just because I don’t feel I have a full grasp of what exactly you’re trying to say but maybe. I feel like you can be talking about adultery or lust the more I read it. “I hear the quiet click of hidden doors” in relation to “and I don’t believe in love’s sincerity”...those too lines in my head come together and makes this poem almost feel a little sad. Interesting piece of work.
