Heart of a Gypsy

~Heart Of A Gypsy~ I was the soul of the storm cleansing the misdeeds of all Removing their cold making mankind warm again How my rain absolved their guilt And when lightning struck I was just a flicker in the fire But love made me the light that lights the skies Even with a heart of a gypsy Destined to roam forever I ration us a kiss each week For if you felt the true power of this storm you would not be able to withstand my powerful force But without you my power would cease to be 3rd place STRAND SELECT 8 ,any form ,any theme Poetry Contest Sponsor:Brian Strand

Ah dear sister! How I've missed you and your brilliant poetry. Intense emotions come to life with the artistic finesse of your immensely talented pen. 'I was the soul of the storm' - how powerfully elegant and ethereal that is. A gorgeous piece, every line is rich with expression and I love the truly dramatic ending. Breathtaking! A fav!! Love you always, my crazy twin. Your sane, but some question 'how sane', sissy, Illum <3

What does one need to do to increase his rations? As long as you only ration kisses, I think he will be okay. ;0)

Lol I don't think they would want the rations changed! But if they did I'm sure them being able to withstand the storm would be nice!;)

Really nice write Brenda, powerful in it's passion! Did you know that Gypsy is a misnomer? It's true when they first came to Europe people thought they came from Egypt, so the moniker stuck!

Yeah Stevie Nicks, Gypsy, great song, you have good taste!

Thank you John it's greatly appreciated! And no I did not know that! Guess I should have done my homework! It brought to mind Stevie nicks to me! Not sure why... did she write about a gypsy? Lol! But thanks again!;)

Brenda, I like this write 'Heart Of A Gypsy'. "And when lightening struck I was just a flicker in the fire But love made me the light that lights the skies". You captured the beautiful mystique of the Gypsy. -Richard

You're welcome. I just popped over after reading 'If You Hurt I Hurt Too' again. It is a very thoughtful and compassionate poem. -Richard
