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 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 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

for those not familiar with my "words unspoken" blog, this little verse was posted there a few weeks ago but somehow, it just seemed to want to be here today - enjoy!
I came here as I saw your picture and lo! how happy I was to stumble here.
You are a great bundle of joy dear Jenean.
Keep it going.
Joy always,
Susan
what a sad plight for the Gypsy..to not have what she yearns for...I wish her love! :-)
I missed this lovely poem the first time you posted. Glad that you posted it again and I was able to enjoy the opportunity to read it.
Wonderful. Glad you reposted this. I think I missed it the first time around!
oh, susan, you and all my other muses here just allow me to dance to your music - with words! :)

hey trish! yes, it's easy to miss something when someone has several blogs like i do - so reposting works well when i think of it! :) thank you!
