we all are gypsies of a sort wandering traveling through this life other lives space and time here there and yon on roads less traveled - this is a written and visual journal of my own travels - imagined and/or real - come along with me - we'll dance among the stars under the sun and over the moon - share our stories around the campfire - come along -

this site is simply a streamofconsciousness rambling of words and images in which i find meaning and beauty - there is no organized order of thought or format -
poetry painting and writing on love and life and things thereof from the heart and through the eyes of a louisiana gypsy spirit travelin' roads less traveled...enjoy -

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]

the garden...

like the frigid brushes
of winter’s demise upon
the barren trees so, too,
my longing for what was wanes

between my legs
the heat of summer rushes
in crimson torrents of love’s
faded memories

my fertile heart now ploughed
waiting the kiss of spring
and the blooming of love anew

with
you

WOW. This one is awesome, Gypsy. Your muse is back and in tip top shape. Congrats on the publication of your poems!!

Dear Jenean:

So long. This time, I wanted to come by and say 'Hello.' Hope you're doing well and fine.

Love anew is something everyone needs on a regular basis. Finding new love in the existing love needs a lot of work.

Wishing you joy and love,
Susan

Ahhh this one is nice. It welcomes love

Roger Gauthier said...

Can you believe this? I read your poem, can see how good it is, and yet can't connect with it. Would that be some form of despair?

I'm going away with Hélène to France for almost two months. We will finally stay longer than planned, maybe even longer than that if we can. Money's not a problem, but some circumstances could. We're expecting visitors from Europe in July for a few weeks, so that's a problem I fear… Next year we will go away for much longer than that.

Away from my country, Québec (as you well know), away from my son that I perhaps love but surely don't like.

A dark period. Some other things also… I will tell you one day.

hey glynis! thanks so much for dropping by - and for such kind words - glad you liked - i wasn't even sure i would post this one when i did it the other day -

GYPSYWOMAN said...

like i was telling glynis, i wasn't even sure i would post this when i did it the other day - sometimes i'm not really sure of the words - as far as others are concerned anyway - but glad you like, trish - thanks so much!

GYPSYWOMAN said...

and susan deborah! it's been such a long time and so nice to have you come by and leave a note - you're right, too, about the work in finding new love in old love - but it's always worth the try...again - wonderful to see you - and do come again soon!

GYPSYWOMAN said...

thank you, APO - love is always welcome, just sometimes a bit bashful i think! ;)

GYPSYWOMAN said...

you and helene will have a wonderful time trekking about france again, roger - you seem to find yourself during those trips - and perhaps your european friends could just reschedule their visit to you for a while to allow you the time you want in france? - just a thought - i'm sorry for the issues with your son and know sadly what that's like - but you can only do what you can only do and hope that is enough - one of those things is to let him know that no matter what else, you are his father and will always love him - i know you'll have a wonderful time in france and it will restore you!

Pat said...

Wow! Who knew a flower could have such a sub text?
Mollie Bloom would love it.

GYPSYWOMAN said...
