Sam Kauffman Poet Terza Rima

Gypsy Heart

Gypsy Heart 

Gypsy heart aimless wanders galaxies,
Astral hideaways, callow time, fantasies,
Tunnels of amnesty – mercy’s galleries

Through agnostic atrophy heart agony,
Frantic nomad rips at denial’s repeats -
Cleaves to the rock of prayer’s sweet vitality	

Reverberating stillness parrots heartbeats
Like a watchman with whimpered unsung pleas 
Graces benedictions in crystal womb retreats.

Souvenirs of opaque shadows run - releases
Breath of grace for weary prodigal’s return
To open arms where battered heart grief ceases 

Through milky ways glowing milestones reveal each turn
Bruised heart bursts in raptures of sweet grace nocturne
