THE GYPSYWOMAN WORLD

My photo
A...WOMAN IN MOTION WITH HAIR AS DARK AS NIGHT HER EYES WERE LIKE THAT OF A CAT IN THE DARK... SHE WAS A GYPSYWOMAN... she danced round and round... from the fire her face was all aglow... she was dancing... dancing... waiting for the RISING SUN... loving caring relationships are like THE RISING SUN...we are nourished by their warmth...we are energized by their strength...we grow in their light...we find shelter and solace there...they are our sanctuary... born in the sign of the sun, i am a true LEO-love the sun and its hot orange red fire-passionate in and about everything i do-i believe in instant chemistry charisma love/lust at first sight-in the magic of the eyes and the beauty of the soul-in the instant recognition familiarity in meeting someone from a past life and in the knowledge that we might meet in a future life-i believe that we are each ageless and flawless-i believe in the beauty of the moment-the whisper of yesterday-the hope of tomorrow-the power of forgiveness for even ourselves-the absolute and total beauty of love---[credit to brian hyland and curtis mayfield]

i ain't never been loved...


i been a lotta thangs in my life
somebody’s child somebody’s wife
taught sunde school an’ carried a knife
lived in good and lived in strife
but one thang i ain’t never been is loved
 

had sweet nothin’s whispered in my ear
even had somebody call me dear
stayed with him for more’n a year
and once or twice i shed a tear
but i ain’t never been loved                      

oh yeah, i been hugged on
and kissed on an’ i been loved on
but i ain’t never been loved

not through and through
not till now

till you

Oh what a sweet sentiment to someone...never been loved till now with you...I like that..could be a song!

Oh, you turned it around on its head at the end, Jenean. Didn't see that coming! But it's beautiful. We always know when "LOVE" makes its way into our lives, don't we? Everything that happened before and everything that happens after doesn't matter, either! I loved your words, here.

GYPSYWOMAN said...

thank you marlene - yes, very sweet - and true in at least one case! ;)

GYPSYWOMAN said...

nevine - oh, yeah, when LOVE comes along, we know it alright - and that's all that matters - that and nothing more and nothing less - thank you so much for your always encouraging words!

Cynthia said...

Oh yeah! Now this is a gypsy woman's voice. Reminds me of my
Aunt Rue. Seduced by the bluesy
quality of the poem.

Zuzana said...

Oh, that was kind of sad...Until I reached the end. And then I understood and nodded with recognition.;)
Have a lovely weekend,
xo

Makes me want to hang my herbs and copper pans from the rafters of my cart and hurry out to the back roads.
