Charm

She was a lady of charm and grace
whose attire was chantilly lace
with the rich and famous she mingled
a matchmaker was she, but single

At her mansion they held a dance
where she was hoping to find romance
the fellow she met was quite charming
but his character was abrupt and alarming

She dismissed him  thus, and had him thrown out
her prince charming she hoped, was somewhere about
and as she despaired her chance for romance
a charming prince asked her to dance

A great story in three stanzas but each stanza is a story in itself. I enjoyed this Joseph and intend to stick around to read more! :)

Smile ˜ Did she kiss him? Did they ascend the winding stairway? Did gaze into her eyes and taste her fragrance? Questions which must be asked if in fact we are to assume that yesss, she was a lady indeed but, charm stole her chastillities in the sweeet love ˜ My love, Forever, John!:) *
