I'm warning you all in advance, I have no idea where that title came from, because this poem is just a fun one (to write) with a boat load of figurative language, that is basically about Celeana/Aelin and Arobynn's relationship (although the magic act is figurative for their assassinations) Again, no idea where the title came from. Enjoy!

Ivory Towers

You, the magician, rearranged my mind

Ensnared my senses

Rendered me numb

Until nothing remained except my heart,

Fluttering against a golden cage.

You convinced me i could love.

And despite my immobility,

I believed you.

You made me your assistant, the jester,

Juggling your subtle threats

While i balanced my attraction to you

On my head

Your unreliable loyalty

Could only be hidden for so long

But you made no grand spector

Of it's unveiling

In fact, i did it myself

When the initial attraction

Tumbled down and the immense curiosity

That replaced it

Undid the shackles

On my arms and legs

Amongst my bafflement and isolation

I came to realize that you abandoned

Our magic act

Where did you vanish to?

I found you at another stand

Applauding a girl with her midriff exposed

And her skirt beckoning you forward

I ceased my incessant threat juggling act

Throwing them at you like knives

Pinning your hands at her hips

If you have cursed me to my post in your life

Then i'll do the same for you to hers

Do not come back and sweet talk me

And do not chain me again

But thank you for allowing me

To live a fantasy

In your cage i was a child

Outside of it - a woman

My only regret was to come to find

That even ow after all this time

I could've directed your magic act all by

myself

That was so much fun to write, I really like it, and even though the magic thing was a little strange, I am still proud that I managed to get their relationship so spot on! (in my opinion) Till next time! Bye!
