Talisman

I've picked you up and placed you in my pocket,
Where I've carried you for quite some time, now.
Do you feel secure in my possession?

You are magical, and beautiful,
Imbued with charms and luxuriousness,
Held neatly in the palm of my hand.

I'll carry you with me, graceful diamond,
Warder of Evil, Steward of Grace,
You will not escape my protection, nor I yours.

Charm me, Mistress of Mercy,
Sparkle like the eyes of Diana
In the blackness of night.

I will clasp you tightly in my fist,
Safe from thieves who roam the empty streets.
Bless me with your love and protection.

Offer me courage and good fortune through all my days.
I will keep you with me forever,
Hidden safely, near the beating of my heart.
