As she twirls by the light of the fire, You can see in her eyes the desire... When the fast music plays, How she gracefully sways... But something is missing tonight... If you look at her face you can see where Her teardrops will never be free there... She's too strong to cry, But her heart begs to try, It's a feeling that she just can't fight... So she dances to make herself weary, Dancing faster, her fears all get bleary... There are changes at hand, That she can't understand, And she knows they are coming too soon... While she dances, her mind is recalling, All her past loves, some good, some appalling But the one meant to be, Is the same one that she, Dreams of holding beneath the full moon... And tonight, as the sun's slowly sinking, As she dances, alone, she is thinking... She's decided to say, In her own special way, That she wants him for her Gypsy King... They will dance by the fire forever... With their hearts beating so, stopping never, When the King takes his Queen, To a Gypsy it means, That the dancing has only begun... They will dance to the music that's playing, In their hearts, as their bodies are swaying, Gypsy King with his Queen, And the magic they bring, To the Dance, Gypsy, Dance....... Love is Young! < !signature--> Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! [This message has been edited by Sunny1 (edited 09-01-2000).] |

Hi Sunny, I've always been fascinated by the stories of gypsies, so of course, your poetry holds a special interest for me. I enjoyed this immensely, my friend. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

LM... I'm glad you liked this song, as that is what it is, I am sure! I'm a songwriter, and when I write poetry, the music is playing in my mind, behind the words. It can't be helped! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Sunny, you know how I feel about this. I am a gypsy at heart as well, and seeking my King. Such a lyrical and captivating feeling to this poem. I know that has already been said, but even a poet can't always come up with original compliments. Happy dancing.Sandra |
