asked the north wind of the gypsy...

so who are you
gypsywoman

~
i cannot bear the world to see
who i'm not but want to be

i’ve just been playing solitaire
to live in love i do not dare

while i profess to love forever
i’ve loved another really never

i know you know it’s been a while
and i cannot resist your smile

~

so who are you
gypsywoman

i ain't nev'a been loved...

i been a lotta thangs

in my life
been somebody’s child

somebody’s wife
taught sunde school

an’ carried a knife
lived in good

and lived in strife
but one thang

i ain’t nev'a been is
loved

had sweet nothin’s

whispered in my ear
even had somebody

call me dear
stayed with one

for more’n a year
and once or twice

i shed a tear
but i ain’t nev'a been

loved

 oh yeah, i been hugged on
and kissed on
an’ i been loved on
but i ain’t
nev'a

been
loved

not

true blue

through and through
 

not till now
not till
you

.

.

.

liquid moonlight...

 

moonlight spilled onto her skin

seeping its way to her heart again

 filling her sleep with its liquid gold

keeping her safe from the dreary cold

of nights no longer warmed by him

and days no longer light but dim

.

.

.

you speak to me...

you speak to me

in words of painted fire
adding flame to my desire
lay me now on that pyre
and take my love entire

you move in me
in words of liquid red
with nothing left unsaid

fire in the night
sky burnin’ bright
you my heart ignite
till the mornin’ light

you speak to me
my aphrodite

~

i remember you...

i remember you...

where was it?       
i cannot remember the place
when long ago a minute or so
i first saw your face

but i cannot forget you
the way your eyes touched my soul
with never a spoken word
and made me feel once whole
i cannot forget you
the way your smile caressed my heart
with never the touch of hand
i knew we ne’er would part


~
               

the thought of you...

the thought of you
possesses and caresses my heart
how could it be that we had to part
leaving us both broken and blue

the thought of you
torments and tortures my soul
how could it be that time took its toll
making its way long overdue

the thought of you
teases and taunts to my core
how could it be we had to say no nevermore
leaving forever shut loves sweet door

but not

the thought of you ~

spread your wings...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spread your wings
unfold and open wide
fly me o’er that great divide
to the place where angels sing
 
 

spread your wings

do not thy spirit hide
fly me where the gods reside
to the place where passion clings

spread your wings
let my soul with thee abide
fly me to that crimson tide
to the place where love’s supreme

dawn's embrace...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hold me close

hold me tight
hold me through

the vicious night
and if the morn

should find you gone

i shall love you more

with the dawn

if i go away...

if i go away
if i stay away

will you love me
still

come what may

for my heart will stay
      
if i go away
if i stay away

because
i love you
still

and
i
always
will
