unfulfilled love - unrequited love - love relinquished - life unlived...

we all are gypsies of a sort wandering traveling through this life other lives space and time here there and yon on roads less traveled - this is a written and visual journal of my own travels - imagined and/or real - come along with me - we'll dance among the stars under the sun and over the moon - we'll share our stories of love around the campfire - come along -

poetry from the heart...


POETRY FROM THE HEART - my own words dedicated to all the words left unspoken, the acts left undone - the love unlived unfulfilled -

i dance with you...only in dreams...

tweet me, but tweet me gently, please!

she, now, like him...



he was but a ghost now -
a spirit - without color without life -
a revenant returning now and then
to that misty chamber in her heart
to remind her that she, too,
had once been alive -
had once been
more than a mere apparition
without color without life
without love -
but that, with his absence,
she, now, like him,
was but a ghost...

i did not see her at first or is it meant to be a him or maybe it matter nothing whatever since they are one anyway...it is spooky and since i did not at first see it, it kind of scares me as i sit here alone in the middle of the night with the wind blowing a hot wind and wishing for sleep to come overtake me and let me rest. gypsy, i am tired...

oh, dearest linda - it hurts my heart to hear you are so tired! wish i'd been up when you sent this post so maybe we could have "talked" some - it's so hard when insomnia takes us over - and other things then seem to complicate themselves -

the image is whatever or whomever the viewer wishes it to be - but you are right, in my poem, they are one - you always "get me", lady!

listen, if you wanna chat anytime, just contact me through my email shown on my profile! ok?

love ya! hugs!
