Horror Scope

Astrologists look at the stars
Whilst Gypsies read palms in the bars
But Fortune lies
With alibis
So mind the lights, but watch the cars!

Olive Oil

Can I make love with you
calmly like a waterfall,
a moon wrought in live coals
between the palms of Gypsies.
Moon – in my bed
the olives are blooming.
And behind the door – a shadow.

Globetrotters

Galaxies apart, we
Gazed into the abyss
Growing within, glowing
Gently with each passing
Game. We were wild, glorious
Gypsies, you and I, the
Gulf ever between us.

as tambourines pulse...
 
    stallions rock with gypsies' whirl

        firing dance of  hooves

Sugarloaf Key

Loosely following local laws 
checking Henry's traps for claws

Up government cut 
down tarpon creek

Night-winds cool 
my sunburnt mind

Feasting like gypsies
listening for Bum Farto

Premium Member Drugs and Other Pests

Out of their hotels like gypsies they roam,
so we fumigate our infested home.
Foglike drugs they inhale —
roach smoke under the veil.
Dear Mary Jane makes herself right at home.

Premium Member At the ICU

Man, under dope-"Nurse, I find gypsies, run"
He cried in alarm as if he was done.
The nurse laughed out quite loud
"It's a machine in shroud"
"Mad? am I madam?'' You're making fun!

Premium Member Tippy in Poughkeepsie

  
	Her future foretold by random gypsies
        Tippy meandered east to Poughkeepsie 

               She fell in love there
               Grew out her blonde hair

        Took a liking to drink ~ now she’s ‘Tipsy’

 "Nurse, I spy gypsies run - 
   hallucinating's fun."

Premium Member Ellipses

Ellipses are like gypsies, here awhile and gone
The pause that they've created gives us cause to linger on
The final thought of what's been sought
In mind by their Creator
And now we are what has been caught... alone in this the-a-ter

Adieu

Oh goodbye starstudded nights and dewdrop morn's
Adieu to the host of longlost spritely dawns
Oh how I will miss the sunshine and rain
Farewell good summer, please come soon again
Goodbye sweet nights when fairies danced
And all day gay gypsies pranced

How We Sometimes Exit

Were growing old,
with all the bad men and gypsies.

These streets don't look so familiar.

And
were picking up our phones,just
to hear a voice that reminds us.
Were not alone.

All this breath spent,it's
making me cold. 
Please pick up your coat,were leaving.

Grains of Salt By Vera Polozkova Translation

Fresh wounds contain some tiny grains of salt,
At night in dreams I see ears of rye,
I was never afraid of pain or fault -
Just of lies.

Forever's index on cover's body.
Two gypsies in a fast cart in delf,
Have never wished death to anybody
But to self.

Premium Member Caravan

gypsies come to town
riding dusty horse drawn carts
watch out there's thieves amongst us
collecting what they can
the tramps are after our husbands
to pass along their curse
these gysies,tramps and thieves
will stop at nothing just to get your purse!!

Gypsies

I ate gelato in Firenze
in the shadow of a cathedral
whose name I could not recall.
And gypsies, their wide skirts spread before them,
begged in Italian, words I did not know. 
But what was I to do --
I did not understand their voices
and they did not recognize my hair 
as their own.

The Barley Wire Octopus

derelict gypsies in the shade 
speak with crows across the way.

through the barley field and the corn 
spread the tenacles that were forlorned.

telephone wires that have no shape
stretching out so none escape.


some said that it was the cross,
some followed the lines and were lost.

Winter Rain

The winter winds sing To the teardrops of rain That cling to barren limbs Frozen boughs In cloaks of ice Whisper their displeasure Darkness descends Through solemn hours Life suspended, waiting A new sun smiles Crystals dance like gypsies The beauty of God’s hand

I'M Lost

I'm a song
Written in free verse
By a poet
A poet with no words

I'm a soul
Blowin' with the hurricane
Like a teardrop
Saltier than rain 

I'm a phrase
With no meaning as such
In a language
That ain't used by much
 
In the end
When everyone's heading home
I'm lost
In a place where gypsies roam

Premium Member Moondrop Nymphs

Glittering falling moondrops
Giving birth to graceful nymphs
Moonlit airborne vagabonds
Winged gypsies beneath asters
Incarnations of freedom in flight
Deities in their magical realms
Goddesses in miniature

Premium Member Gypsy Fog

Gypsy Fog Written: by Tom Wright 1/8/2008 Stealthy arriving, Similar to a caravan of Gypsies at eventide, It left nothing untouched; After spending a quiet, restful, evening Just hanging around; Cockcrow found it confronted With the same destiny, As that of its predecessors; A swift case of Fade!

Premium Member From A Whisper

The call cries for us
Like the push of wind against sand,
We wonder of its power
We crave for the whisper,
Its romantic invitation to stillness
It calls for gypsies and alchemists,
For all humans to lend a hand
In the painting of the mural, 
For the craft of our finger
To be gentle gifts of tomorrow
Which we leave for its citizens.

Midas

Purple flames>>Violet flames
A voiceless name///The sting of shame...
Echoes through hollow hearts[[[]]]
Of beggars, liars, gypsies & thieves
Seduced by Midas & his touch
How soon does everything turn to rust???
Allured by empty promises of fame & adoration
Never questioning the $ for such a vice,,,
Never stopping to think twice((()))
