Notes About The Poem

If Ever We Should Part

The reed - his voice, “Gypsy, my darling flirt,
   you dangle charms - a floral scent, my heart.
In revolution play, your cloud of skirt.”
   The reed - his voice, “Gypsy, my darling flirt,
proud, I am — you pop buttons from my shirt.
   O clarinet, I follow beauty’s chart.”
The reed - his voice, “Gypsy, my darling flirt,
   you dangle charms - a floral scent, my heart.

In revolution play, your cloud of skirt.”
   The reed - his voice, “Gypsy, my darling flirt,
proud, I am — you pop buttons from my shirt.
   O clarinet, I follow beauty’s chart…
You dangle charms - a floral scent, my heart…
   My voice will break, if ever we should part.”

Very romantic! <3 My dad was a romantic sweetheart to my mother. He always liked to refer to my mom as a 'gypsy' because our family moved quite often. Honestly, though he was a Frenchman, it his that was the heart of a gypsy! they loved to travel, but it was him who would decide it was time to head west, then back east, then SW and she loved it as much as him. She loved him and enjoyed the wonderful journey of their lives together. This brought them back to my mind. I love your poem <3

This is so enchanting, Kim. It really captures that flamenco spirit as well. I got to see gypsies in caves in the time i spent years ago in Spain , and wow, it's so nice to see them during festival time with the romantic music and costumes.

Don't know quite why, but this reminds me so much of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel!' Go figure. Anyway, that's a good thing! Cheers, Kim.
