Poem

My gypsy heart is restless.....
I’ve been here too long
too long....
the fields alive with paths that lead....lead...
there, to the edge of the earth and sky
the minstrel sings that sing
of places of my dreams sing...sing...
to my gypsy heart
the unknown, untasted, untouched, untraveled is calling.....
Calling...
 
Ah..........
don’t bind me
don’t keep me
don’t....don't beg me to stay
don’t claim me with the promises of yesterday
today is today
I want to fly away
don’t hold me back
 
The gypsy in me hears voices
You cannot hear
for fear
My dear....
You have no gypsy heart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
At midnight....tonight
Yes.....tonight
I will slip out the door
hand in hand with mistress night
I will take flight
while my family sleeps
and my heart weeps
while the stars make a place
and the moon hides her face
while the night breeze carries me
I will break free...
 
My love,
I’ve been here too long
Too long..........
When you wake
and your heart starts to shake
For heaven's sake..
~~~ forgive me~~~~

The call of my gypsy heart
Would not be still
there was another place
another thrill
and so
against my will
these cravings to fill
I slipped away
I'm not....far...far away
Forgive me, I pray

For this gypsy heart
could no longer bear
to 
stay

I've always been fascinated by the gypsy life. My favorite Disney character is Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I found this pic today while looking for something else and I thought....I have to repost my gypsy heart poem from ages ago. Hope you enjoy it.
