Sea Gypsies
Gypsies consider
Sea as a big aquarium
They hunt fish for free.

Ladies Dressed Like Gypsies
Its the ladies,
Dressed like gypsies,
That feel the moon,
With romance,
In their fibers,
That desire to dance,
With love,
Its the ladies,
Dressed like gypsies,
That make the nightingales,
And flowers sigh,
In the warmth,
Of gardens and moons,
Its the ladies,
Dressed like gypsies,
That are so sweet,
And tender,
And ofcourse exotic,
That cherish the hymns,
The sensuousness,
Of a long lazy evening,
Where their hems,
Can sway, unwind, and relax

Gypsies Tramps and Thieves
Gypsies Tramps and Thieves by Cher
When I hear her deep throaty voice I smile
Begin to sway with the music,
Feeling sexy, and a bit naughty
It brings me back the seventies,
I feel my hip hugger blue jeans
Worn under my waist.
I am young, cute, pretty.
I am Cher, tall, svelte, attractive
Showing off my essence,
Wearing my Bob Fosse costumes
My

Gypsies
They set up tents by their big ol' cadillacs
Up the road a-piece from our little house
In a vacant lot where nothing but weeds grew.
Momma said, "Don't you go up there and stare
At them. They might steal you away." And so,
I stayed a good distance, but I went up.
They looked like normal rich folks

Space Gypsies
Open your eyes
What’s the world to be
All indications
Points to misery
Pain and heartache
Destruction of atmosphere
All for money
One day man would sell you air
Open your mind
This system cannot work
No well intended leader
Can rule to save our souls
If we’re not together
Choosing to live in peace
Adhere to justice
A World of Unity
Then it’s obvious
Stars be our only hope
We’ll be space

The Man In the Cavern and the Gypsies At the Tavern
Someone moved the rock
And the village’s Gypsies were in shock
Hearing it was a progressive move
They sat at the bar wondering if this could be proved
What was being blocked by this rock?
A question was asked
Each enjoying happy hour magic in their flask
Apparently inside the cavern
The Gypsies gossiped

Gypsies
Gypsies
Across a misty channel
Sensor fingers
Stretch
Through foggy, silent waves
Where two souls embrace
In expeditions of speechless discovery
Two minds stand naked,
Face to face,
With wordless words
Each knowing the inner rhyme
Of another soul –
Intimate outside skin and limbs.
Across the barriers of minutes, hours, months
Two silent gypsies wander,
Through heartbeats
They stand, then gaze,
Connected to each other -
Escapees of the spoken word;
Outside

Bluesy Gypsies
We traveled all day long
Like two wandering gypsies
Couldn’t wait to get to our retreat
When we’d put up our feet
The allure of that secluded bar
With its bluesy sweet melodies
Awaiting table candlelit for two
We’ll cap off the evening
Swaying on through the night
With a glass of chardonnay
And linger till it’s time to sleep

Gypsies Gather
at nightfall flamboyant
nomad fortune tellers
midst their migration
in colours and flair
romani gypsies gather
outside their caravan
around a bonfire ablaze
they’d play their fiddles
guitars and cimbalom
singing in unwonted dialects
dancing under moonlight
beneath a dome of stars
in legendary brazen flurry
freedom tossed to the wind

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
Sonny orchestrated; Cher was his doll.
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, was their nightly drawl.
We’d preach a little gospel to save them all.
Townspeople were afraid of us, even Baby Paul.
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, was their nightly drawl.
They were treacherously mean with their call.
Townspeople were afraid of us, even Baby Paul.
But the men would sneak, see us, big

Prison Dance With Gypsies
PRISON DANCE WITH GYPSIES
the guards’ rifles stab the thick gray air –
under their eyes shivers of rain
wash our faces – beat our bodies
with needles of water
hollow metal buckets – instant drums
an echoless mantra slowed by fading hope
raise our hands with rhetorical questions
praise the beans in our thinning stomachs
the buckets’

The Gypsies
Beautiful, busty black haired gypsy girls
looking at me
like they want to steal my heart
and keep the money they find in my back pocket
Those beautiful gypsy girls
rolling through my town
showing leg and drinking champagne
for no reason what so ever
and the one thousand year old grandmother
with five hundred granddaughters
and they all are looking at me
all those eyes

Sea Gypsies
my
skin were
like a morning
rays,
that rose
in the sky,
almond
shape eye,
dark with the dusk,
round ,
monsoon face
pure timid lips,
grandma talked often
best she could -
don't forget the
past, where
we -
sailed across the
orient waves
seeking -
and the seagulls,
the boat
and
our fading heritage,
make it
alive -
where we came,
where we gone.

The Desert Gypsies
We ride across the desert sands
Like pirates out at sea.
Two Humvees accompany me
12 gypsies all we be
We fly the Jolly Roger, a symbol
Big and bold,
We sail a cross the desert sand
Happy pirates what we be.
We sport heavy fire power as we
Sail for liberty.
We have a cast of
