her eyes in midnight velvet
black jet tamed by no man yet
soft breasts of alabaster silk
with skin like soft creamy milk
her hair spread like raven wings
when she speaks the gods do sing
lips all pouty and shimmering wet
she lives and loves without regret
spinning webs in ribbons of light
laid in shadows of darkest night
secrets hid in her red red heart
yearning for a love not lived apart
wish she did with all her might
but life alone is her sad plight
and so it is in the forest deep
the heavens sleep
as
the gypsy weeps
black jet tamed by no man yet
soft breasts of alabaster silk
with skin like soft creamy milk
her hair spread like raven wings
when she speaks the gods do sing
lips all pouty and shimmering wet
she lives and loves without regret
spinning webs in ribbons of light
laid in shadows of darkest night
secrets hid in her red red heart
yearning for a love not lived apart
wish she did with all her might
but life alone is her sad plight
and so it is in the forest deep
the heavens sleep
as
the gypsy weeps

Jenean, such a dear subject to your heart... the gypsy... the lonely sad dejected gypsy... who loves like the earth loves its creation. This is as sad and earthy and ethereal as a gypsy can be... and I loved it!

Okay, we're taking the caravan out of the campsite and going hunting for the guy whose soul is like yours.
nevine - your words always find the place in my heart from whence my own words come - and i cherish that so, dear friend!
well, trish, i am just SO ready! wagon packed and horses harnessed! giddeyup!!! thank you for your words!!!
hmmm..so she wishes to be tamed by man? Something about love apart that brings sadness, isn't there? more so than no love at all. nice write. ~rick
oh, no, dear sir, not wishing to be tamed by ANY man or anyTHING - even though she weeps for the one true love whom she hides in her red red heart and from whom she is destined to live apart - when the night is quiet with just a slight soft breeze, her weeping, it is said, can be heard round the world - a mournful story for sure!
hey mister!! thanks so much for coming by - wonderful to see you - hope the roads are treating you well - come by soon!!!
Lovely picture, inspiring words. A lovely Blog. Well done.

Jenean! I'm so sorry I haven't been able to drop by these days! Life has changed dramatically and I hardly get any time for myself. Let things settle down and I will come back as soon as possible.
