Used to be charms rhymed with arms
Both were currency
To trade and barter for romance
For bliss, for ecstasy
What rhymes with cunt?
A cake of bundt?
What rhymes with cock?
A strap of jock?
How our currency's debased
It's lost intrinsic value
You can't get nothin' for somethin' now
The market won't allow you
You get nothing
You get something
Everything's a bargain
Everyone's an easy lay
We're all broken-hearted
Don't I wish that I could lie
In love in your embrace
Beauty sketched - serene, eternal -
Here upon your face
The spirit that moves me,
The spirit of grace,
Charms, beguiles, intoxicates
Let's lie forever in this state
Between rest and bold desire
Let's lie, the pith of truth to taste,
So sweet, it burns like fire.

Charming! Mine was inspired by Robert Walser's "Dramolettes", q.v.
Don't know it. But I like Walser.
