Poetic Verses Cast On Angel of My First True Love

Poetic Verses Cast On Angel Of My First True Love

Red dust stirring in her footsteps, grace in her shoes 
she was a fearful angel, between old world and new
sweetness and joy in her bounty, purple in her blues
singing roads rarely traveled, in rhythms soft and true.

Her music ate into majestic sad and bony marrows,
gypsy of tomorrows, poetess flying upon desperation carols.

Red thorns set to bar her, from nights purely mellow
I her blinded witness, she a rose gleaming bright yellow
we stranded seekers, ignorant of life, its great dangers
lost in cavernous echoes, attended by ghostly strangers.

Her music ate into majestic sad and bony marrows,
gypsy of tomorrows, poetess flying upon desperation carols.

Hope fleeing as wherein her path broken rainbows fell
she innocent victim of Life, its many vicious hells
joining in her journey, a boy dying to be truly free
vows yet unspoken, twixt her soul and heart within me!

Her music ate into majestic sad and bony marrows,
gypsy of tomorrows, poetess flying upon desperation carols.

Red dust stirring in her footsteps, grace in her shoes 
she was a fearful angel, between old world and new
sweetness and joy in her bounty, purple in her blues
singing roads rarely traveled, in rhythms soft and true.

Her music ate into majestic sad and bony marrows,
gypsy of tomorrows, poetess flying upon desperation carols.
