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 sat...

that day
you know the day
the day
the day that was

as words
my words
struggled
like so many
secretive sperm
spilling out
somehow escaping
the darkest of the dark
caverns of my heart
as they spewed themselves
up and out
into the stratosphere
of love’s sanctity

of us

as they
devoured the light
demolished your world
destroyed your trust

your love for me
i sat
as someone else
somewhere else

and listened
and watched

and
silently
screamed
.

oh, there you are, linda! so wonderful to hear from you - i know how remiss i've been for some time - just dealing with these distractions of reality which seem to take me away - by the way, i clicked on your name link just now but it said that page was not available - ??? - will try again later - have so missed you, too!

GYPSYWOMAN said...

dearest glynis - so happy you like this little piece - it was another of those things where i heard or read a phrase and then the words just came pouring out in response - done in about 30 seconds actually and literally - so especially heartwarming to know it touched someone else - thank you for your kind kind words - have a wonderful day!!!

Gitane, gitane, tu ne sais le danger de tes mots
Comment se fait-il… mais pourquoi me touchent-ils à ce point? Je scrute la nuit noire et froide, et je ne vois rien.

Rien que le désert, rien que le noir, rien que le désespoir. Mais peut-être sais-tu après tout.

I answered one of your comments with these words:


Hello dear Jenean from far away… I keep looking at the stars, hoping to see yours.

I wish I were in another country. My son and I had a very acrimonious quarrel and I put him out of my life for a very long period of time… I don't see how I can forgive him in the near future. I can't forgive him - but I can blank him out of my mind though. I'm so angry…

Why? Why why why?

cher Roger - Je suis désolé pour votre douleur et la tristesse au sujet de votre fils - il est si difficile parfois de se rappeler à quel point nous ne vraiment aimer nos enfants, peu importe le mal qu'ils peuvent nous causer - Je n'ai pas les réponses - je ne essayer de se rappeler à ces moments-là, cependant, que je ne l'aime mes enfants plus que tout autre chose et c'est tout ce qui est important dans la fin - l'amour - je pense que mal d'un enfant doit être le plus nuisible de toutes parce qu'ils sont nos enfants - i vous souhaite bonne chance avec votre fils, Roger -

Et je suis reconnaissant pour vos paroles bienveillantes, monsieur genre - ils font toujours mes jours de mieux - tu es dans mes pensées -

WOW!!! Very powerful, my dear...! I'd love to know the 'backstory' on this....! Beautifully written in every way.

GYPSYWOMAN said...

how wonderful to have you drop by dear naomi! and to leave such kind words - in terms of the "backstory" i'm afraid it is only that which you read - with love, to protect the one we love, we sometimes must do things that rip our hearts apart - and their heart -

Desillusion is what I read. Wonderfully expressed

Pat said...

The silent screams are the worst.

GYPSYWOMAN said...

GYPSYWOMAN said...
