Lost in this electric Jazz you sparkle about Magically
flowing darkness encompassing beauty round and bright
the taste of thought on the tip of my tongue

magical in many ways but illusion and
the softness you exude and the light managed
beautifully for it not this electric barrier

toss away the times of old and rethink the
reigns when the pain was too real
because the joy waiting around the bend is for you

watch it rise and reach for its light
for the magic has come again
and that magic is right and that magic is for you
so don't be a fool...

i bolded parts i really enjoyed. i'm mildly hung over, so that may speak to why i'm getting lost, but i can not digest "for it not this barrier"

maybe cut the last line of the fourth stanza and the "and" at the end of the second to last line. let the reader make the jump of who/what the magic is. the other 3/4 of the poem works to link the two anyway, no need to reinforce it again at the end when we've already arrived at that conclusion.
