~ Gypsy Bride ~

Ocean tides Still frames Flicking like cards A sea of lives Shuffling, them In her hands Chronological Chromatic, aberrations The years That have come and gone Silent Still frames Wanting to breathe Their life, into me Black and white Once again Flashing colours Lights Rushing tides A deck of cards 'A Gypsy Bride' One by one She turns "And This Is Your life" Familiar faces In the crowd Smiling Waving And then their gone.... Eyes Staring Beyond The tide Distant skies Still frames A deck of cards Inside, my mind Tents and banners Black and white Colourful lights Carnival rides "This, this is your life" 'A Gypsy Bride' Voices and laughter Years, like the wind Shuffling Them In Her hands Once again Trying to breathe Their life Their life, into me.... Ocean tides A sea of lives A crystal ball 'A Gypsy Bride' Familiar faces And smiling eyes "This This is your life" "What do you see?" I speak Glancing, beyond the seas Staring, beyond the tides A deck of cards 'A Gypsy Bride' "Show me your palms" She whispers "Today, they'll collide The past The future Your dreams This, is your life" One more time Trying to breathe Its breath, its life Inside, of me.... "What do you see?" "What, did you see?" Smiling A deck of cards Shuffling Them in her hands My hands Chronological Chromatic, aberrations The years Silent Movie reels Black and white Colourful lights Banners and tents And carnival rides A crystal ball An upturned palm "This, is your life Enjoy the sights" A deck of cards Familiar faces Making My way Through the crowd Alone Alone, now Staring, at the tide The tide, through time.... 'Gypsy' 'My Gypsy' 'My Gypsy Bride' Smiling Distant eyes Beyond the skies "This, is your life" She whispers As she puts her arm She puts her arm About my side "Wonderful isn't it?" She says "Here Pick a card Any card" Ocean tides A sea of lives Dreams And Precious eyes Lives.... Beautiful Years gone by Still frames Still In my mind Carnival rides Colourful lights Moments in time "Ten dollars please" She smiles She whispers My arm About Her side "This, is your life" "But I only have five" ..........."My"........... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ 'Gypsy Bride' ~
