A Gypsy Tale
with luscious beauty and mystic stare
Black hair hanging down her back
in two silken braids
Is seeking a landscape of serenity
where love blossoms into chants
and freedom jiggles her days
where stamina of mystery weaves harmonies
over her smooth face, marking her route
with reveries for the oppressed to hold and trace
inciting a wanderer's desire to
sing her tuneful themes down memory's lane
echoing into the depth of her soul
molding her existence into
dancing steps he joyfully portrays...
