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!

the prisoner...













my heart is my own prison
i guard me there
hold myself captive there
bound there in chains of love
from its walls i cannot escape
nor shall i ever try

one corner of my heart
is my own garden
filled with lush brilliant flowers
their scent nectar to my soul
their colors my only light
their soft petals my only bed 



my memories of you
my heart's own prison

Impressive. Am not familiar with this artist, but will be soon! You have wonderful artists on this blog, Gypsy. An education unto itself.

I can relate to this post SO much, especially after the last two weeks!
My heart holds the essence of me, perhaps this is why what I crave the most is never found, except with my cats!

Gypsy babe, it's lovely yet so sad and tormenting oh and that visual is very sensual..."My memories of you, my heart's own prison" Now believe it or not we all have been in here and a great song that comes in mind reading this is "My own prison by Creed" great song listen to it sometime.
