Charmed

Amulet ~

Talisman ~

jade of green
jaded dream?

give me back
my talisman
let it touch me
where it can
leave alone my
amulet
for its fortune
would net
me a dream

smooth and
polished
unlike me
cool and calm
it lets me be
in love with
you

touch
the touchstone
feel the green
flow into you
flow of
serene

feel the green

in my bluejeans
I am a queen
when my
talisman

my amulet

gives me leave
to leave a bet
with you

and I will bet
on this amulet
this talisman
I will gamble
in our love
I take this stand
as I take
your hand

as you touch
the green of jade
from where it hangs
‘round my neck
in respect
of its
powers

it rests here
growing warm
as you
look
as you
touch

as you feel
the draw
of its raw
powers

look away
look up
up, into my eyes
jade of eyes
does not disguise
where the amulet
really lies
where the talisman
speaks the truth
where your love
has taken root

come to me, my love
and I will be
your talisman

absolutely charming...and? do you know that jade actually gets deeper in color the more that's it's worn... much hidden meaning in this, (and I'm partial to this sort of thing) Enjoyed much.

a sweet amulet
you bet
on gold neck chain
with small sweat stain
I note its dwelling place
and transferring it to me
I sniff and watch your face

I was really "charmed" by this. I loved the way it flows. Good read.
