A Charmed Life
I am so lucky that my parents are adventurers
At three we went to Los Palmas and stayed there
until I was five living in a wonderful house with
a flat roof that hosted our garden and I had a dolls
house that I could walk in and so many dolls that I
took apart to see how

Charmed
Oh, please, tell me please-
The name of the lovely lass.
Her charming smile,-
Angelic face and brown eyes,-
Captured my heart in a flash.
I was enchanted-
In a twinkling of an eye.
I was attracted-
When I sensed her concoction;
Enthralled by her magic potion.
Oh please, I’m begging-
You to tell me where she lives.
So I could send-
Her roses and chocolates.
Oh, please Alfie,

Charmed Meadows
When dawn drifts into charmed meadows
enchantment fades with the shadows,
drinking perfume from the night's air,
stirring fragrance that lingers there.
Faintest mist sprinkles wild grasses,
when dawn drifts into charmed meadows.
Sewn jewels on satin sashes
of Sylphs dancing with Tylwyth Teg.
Fae play elaborate charades
before meadow enchantment fades.
When dawn drifts into charmed meadows,
Brownies comfort mourning Banshees.
Asrai frolic with the Selkies
as

An Age of Charmed Dreamers
‘Blessed I was to be young in an age of charmed dreamers.’
Childhood in suburbia wanting for nothing;
Kickball and flashlight tag ‘til dinner was set;
Be home by the time the neighborhood’s lit.
Painting the sky with the glow in our eyes no
worries we were just free to be kids;
Talking we always wished that

Charmed
His smile was pure gold
when he saw her passing by.
The wind blew softly
and his horizon muted
like the whole world stopped,
except his heartbeat that surged.
He looked at her eyes
like a pair of diamonds.
Glitters in her eyes
lit up the whole place like stars.
It was a moment
he would

Is My Charmed Life Dead - In Trumps Own Words
Why would I do this
What was in my head
My charmed life of bliss
Perhaps irreparably dead?
Yes I'm a fighter
A grifter of old,
I deserve a fate brighter
But on this I've been rolled.
Politics such a foul game
They claim I'm the one crooked,
But these hacks put me to shame
With actions deceitful and wicked.
Still you know what they say
When you're

For Her Jewels of Time
She looked at me calmly opening her narrow lips
Luis the name brought an ache to my wounded ego
In my pride I had ended up shipwrecked in the rehab
...You can make it even when they all say you cant
I swallow my pride and prod,..
I like you Merc.. Can we be an item
Were the circumstances different

Charmed
At 33 I changed and I'll stay forever young,
Feeling like an actress, like a charmed one,
Chanting along and then speaking in tongue,
And those who came before me we're burnt or were hung,
Tho our power isn't instant so let's have some fun,
And they thought they wiped us out til there were none...
I am Karma

A Charmed Life
she was the chosen one
plucked and hand picked
brought home from the orphanage
a jewel a precious princess
soon she grew to be a fair damsel
found by her prince
she fell in love
it was then her fate was sealed
she traveled to another land
to raise a family
two boys four girls to call her own
she was the lady of their castle
a

A Charmed Worm
Sigh I high, a busy, burning furnace,
scrolling lines with aching, grieving woes;
she, a charmed worm, wriggles, snorts,
while floating on a fluffy, velvety cloud.

Which takes quite some effort with a unique rhyme scheme,
