Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

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

Susan Ashley February 21, 2020 at 10:02 PM 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

Richard Lamoureux October 11, 2019 at 4:39 PM What does one need to do to increase his rations? As long as you only ration kisses, I think he will be okay. ;0) Brenda Chiri October 14, 2019 at 4:13 PM 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!;)

John Hamilton October 11, 2019 at 11:05 AM 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! John Hamilton October 11, 2019 at 4:05 PM Yeah Stevie Nicks, Gypsy, great song, you have good taste! Brenda Chiri October 11, 2019 at 2:04 PM 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!;)

Quoth Theraven October 11, 2019 at 10:48 AM 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 Quoth Theraven October 13, 2019 at 5:47 PM 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 Brenda Chiri October 11, 2019 at 10:51 AM That is so kind of you to say Richard! Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it!;)
