The Wish
Gypsy Dec 2020
In our corner of the Forest
The snows fall  
The white winds blow
The lone Wolf dies
Born at this moment
In this time of despair
Grief and bereavement
The reality of our powerlessness
A single soul dwelling in two bodies
That deep part of you
Touched our wounds with your warm and tender hand
The kindest, noblest, and best of things
Always together in spirit
Bound by enormous affection
From the depths of the distance within us

Falling Into Ruin
Gypsy Dec 2020
Serenity of light, of translucent ice
I can’t tell anymore
The beginning, past these moments
So much to lose.- lost
Our immortal inspiration of love
A 'graceful exit
Pains end of a melody
The bleak blackness of passions
Unrequited,
Unexpressed,
Unresolved
Closing circles
Tossed into the seas
Like a novel
The End of The End
The tightrope we walked
The drama of the last awful word
Never unsaid
Unremembered.
Smell your absence on my skin
A placid silence
This winter's day
Echoes long into the silver-blue
Of loves empty room
God -
Crying for this love
Mountains and Rivers
Nothing
A husk, rustled by the occasional sigh
Nothing....
It ended sadly
Holding hands and weeping
Love slowly dies
Falling into ruin

My Distance
Gypsy Dec 2020
Her tonic...
The flower that I see
Fades into the nearest shadow

Would you like to know our future?
Mystery and awe
In a world without dragons
Enjoy,
Endure,
Survive
The soul, revealed
The world
The visible,
The invisible
A wide web of chaos

Do you really believe in destiny?
The colour of the moon
The dream
All the clichés
Wrapped in an enigma

Have you ever ached with the sheer beauty of it?
Rushed after her in pursuit
Where everything becomes essence..

Hearts Of The Tender
Gypsy Dec 2020
The tongue of the dumb
My silence and negligence
Did so vex and torment
A multitude of precious souls
Discerned no signs of sanctification
From their certain flames of hell
Our great plan for humanity
Daisies and Fairy Tales
Down in the nights of death,
Chaos
Disaster
The ineffable meanness of paddling
Who will **** us children forever
Cover the cheeks of this world with tears
With horror
With fear
To stand at these portals of the tomb,
The vestibule of eternity
Consigned to eternal damnation
A Gulph of devouring flames
In and beyond oneself and the Universe.

Humility! Humility
Gypsy Dec 2020
******* Disciples
Martyrs of Faith
I am privy to the secrets of the universe, its creator
It's magic and delicious power ....

Your imagined truths - that makes men cruel..

Your feigned aura of confidence
Like water it runs between your fingers
Your seeds of cockiness
Soiled in ignorance
The flames of controversy
Opinions
Mass disputes
Conflict
World news
Of persecution  .. progress .. profit ...
A steady arrogance in need of starvation

As a contented fish in its fish tank
Spawns a sense of intellectual humility
In the harmony of all that exists
A sea of infinite atoms
In the end
In the Blue Room
We are all connected

House of Love
Gypsy Dec 2020
I will face my reality
Embrace the Devouring
From off the potter's wheel
This experience of Existence

Give my soul, for love
Life's skin-deep love

- the miracle of surrender -
Through this cosmic dance
We see a river flowing
Her feminine wine
To tempt her towards passion
Then unbraid her body

Bathed in candlelight
Those brittle fragments
Every part of this soul
Every broken piece
Is a sublime chess game with -
The flow of life
The spiritual path
The gap between compassion...

Surrender...
Love’s darkest, deepest region...

Hunger
Gypsy Dec 2020
Heap of ashes that I am
Phrased in terms of burning

I hunger
For your taste
Your smell
The feel of your soul touching mine..

Aimless in this sexless foreplay
I have nibbled so long at the table of the your world
It turned to dust in my hand..

Hunger..

The next sunrise -
Sunset
To touch the one you love
To try again.

To live ..
Her stalking beauty
Her theatre of expressions..

In this moment
The gesture of the amorous
The longing for consummation
All desires are abolished
By the plenitude of their satisfaction....

Gypsy

Momentary Masters
Gypsy Dec 2020
Generals and Emperors ..
The Rich & The Richer
Within grasp  of Power....

A small stage
A vast cosmic arena
Their endless cruelties

How frequent their misunderstandings
How eager  to ****
How fervent their hatreds
Their rivers of blood..
  
Momentary Masters
Of a fraction of a dot

Gypsy

Surrender
Gypsy Dec 2020
The sweetness of giving....

The foreplay...

Folded secrets between her thighs
Like napkins
Concealed memories in the valley of her *******
She goes with the flow of life
A traveller
A Wildflower
A breath of *****

We - in love...
Upon our lips, a thousand lies

A moonlit beach
The starlit sea,
Surrender and Serenity
Our Spiritual path..
We from the old Magic...
From unseen times, faded memories
Many times upon our knees
We surrendered
Just loved -

Made life poetry
Listened through your screams
Simply naked Humanity...

Bring your empty cups
Your disappointments
Your failures.
Bring your betrayals
Your masks
All that
Dwells in you
Surrender to your own poverty,
Restore  -
The belief in your own guidance
Go within for answers
Nothing
Found in a book
Heard in a sermon

Give your soul
for love
Surrender to the Universe..
Lay your most precious possessions on  the table
And roll the dice...

Be the Art -The Artists....

Primitive Maestro
Gypsy Dec 2020
The dark street
A half-forsaken chasm
The curse of midnight's children
Victims of their times
The annihilating whirlpool of the multitudes
The church
Grew lonely about them
Unable to live or die in peace
Like a child whose mother was forsaken...

Gypsy
Gypsy Dec 2020
There will be Words of Revelation

Endings and Beginnings
Cracks in old friendships
Moments of experience
Chalk lines on concrete...
Some sort of natural justice...
I've cursed this power
Oppressed with slavish fear
Religious tyranny
Adrift, unable to navigate
I could do anything now
Anything I wanted.
I had nothing left to lose
Somewhere - past the End of the World
Infinity
An end to this journey
Death.
What a brief word
Extinguishing of life
Of love
We all end up where we started
This **** must finish

Empty -
Every ocean of life
Flows..
Into a dead planet …

Chamber Of Wounds
Gypsy Dec 2020
Here she comes
There she goes
She'll twist your bones
She'll turn your mind
You're callin out
One last time
One last time you call her name
Then you twist and turn 'n' bleed again

Lets dance awhile....

The spirits come
The spirits go
Shoutin' from the mountain
They all seem to know
You're the woman within
For this man of sin

You're  miles away
I feel your here
Deep within' I feel you close
I'll walk you through this mind of mine
Help you see
The blindness come
The blindness go

In the chamber of wounds
I'll shout your name
In the chamber of wounds
I'll dream your touch
In the chamber of wounds
I'll go insane

In the chamber of wounds
I'll learn to bleed
In the chamber of wounds
I'll have no chance...

Drip Dried Souls
Gypsy Dec 2020
One more ride
Aboard this merry go round
Just another spin of the wheel
Another perfect plan
The mother of all schemes
The darkest heart wins it all
Drinks from the pleasures of profit
Rich by default

Give him his name
A pigeon-hole
The cunning of a serial killer
The perfect choice
This drug equalizer
The bass and treble of reality..

The disco divas of make belief
Crumble under the pressure

Bring him some of that pick and mix happiness
That over priced burden of pleasure
Join the line of escorts to his surrealistic pleasures
Watch his ****** suit stretch taking protection to the limit

From the corner
Eyes watching, masquerading as bored
His guitar gently wipes away a stray tear
The bedsit voodoo master fingers the fret
His bedsit altar
Swamped in ambience
His incense prayers
Follow old Cohen
Returning from the river
Memories of Suzanne, wet and worn
Begging for one last go
One more Electric Warrior
One more Dylan brew
For the road

Goddess of Gothic
Gypsy Dec 2020
Once upon a moment,
Not so far from this mortal coil
A tale for the telling
Thrown into the arena...

The wishing well
The wish
The guessing game
In the distance,
Children
Rags in trees
The old fool
A life lived
Here  
In a moment frozen...

She lies dying,
The truth on her lips
Those red ruby coloured lips
The words tumbling in a motion slow
It all seemed so much easier
The not knowing

Gypsy

Smoky Soul
Gypsy Dec 2020
Tumultuous waves of thought
Anxious and grieving
My brain became hollow
There is something to be said - for being dead
In crouching cellars - alone or together
The intimate sanctuary of beauty
Far off - a voice in my ear
Like a dream - I feel your caress
On this indifferent tide
I wave the visible world away
Into the oblivion of lost things
Into the iridescence of decay
Like a sunset in a hazy day
Fearful of hearts treason
Your phantom fevered loves remorse
Gnawing at a worlds despair

Gypsy

Madness Stalked
Gypsy Dec 2020
These reasonable songs of savages
Seated beauty on its knee
Armed itself against justice
Contrived to purge the mind
To strangle it
Where all hearts opened towards the spirit
For the body and for the soul
Utterly forsaken - you who love the absence
That impulse for religion
Misfortune was its God
That look so lost, on a face so dead
Courage and destruction inspire these people
Their loathing - a motherless fatherland
Roaring debauchery of that madness disaster
Our extent of innocence
Life - a monstrous dose of venom
A glimpse of conversion - happiness
Mans melodious noble ambition

Gypsy

The Beauty Myth
Gypsy Dec 2020
I am searching for faith
The good and the beautiful
The mechanics of culture
Engineers of the soul
The bullet-headed many
Like their God of creation
Permanent and temporary
A lily in their medieval hand
This revolt against fate
Born of humiliation
This madness of art - Fickle, Freckled
Is the heart of man
His pillars of smoke
The face of the deep
Our primitive nothing
That grand perhaps
The big issue of our times

Grey Dull Sleep
Gypsy Dec 2020
Love,
Drips,
Gathers,
Stirs the quicksand
Whisper's in an artificial wilderness
Pale rain over this soundless dark
Your spittle eyes  
Emptied of poetry
This nightmare, a purpose more obscure
In a rapture of distress
Universal love and hope
That pilgrim soul in you
Your shadow deep
Your desert of the heart
With that rhythm, a song
Your intellectual disgrace
Tingles in the feet
Between each stroke of this grey dull sleep..

Gypsy
Dec 2020 · 59
Tangled Spindles
Gypsy Dec 2020
A chilling sort of grey
A dawning smile
Your strangeness and disillusioned ways
Within - you've set your blackest flag
Your flowers of dissolution
Consume virtue with a breath
Belong neither here nor on Earth
Stranded on stellar shores
The tangled spindles of your uncovered soul...

Gypsy
Dec 2020 · 47
The Darkest Day
Gypsy Dec 2020
I was hoeing
Words of tongue and pen
Despair, from the far side of absolute
The ceremony of consequences
So unequal, so unfair
I replaced one life with another
The rich man in his mansion
The poor man at his door
Baying for broken glass
The small change of illusions....

Gypsy
Dec 2020 · 47
Language Of Priorities
Gypsy Dec 2020
A generation away from extinction
You slaves of lonely self-abnegating sacrificial instincts
You slave of slaves
Aiding in the acquisition
Paying for existing
With terror and slaughter
Slaves of the capitalists
Mystic fear of consequences
No sense of faith
No sense of direction
A love of drudgery
Only the paranoid survive
Courted by incapacity..

So cryptic, almost meaningless.

Government murdered minds and spirit
With ruin upon ruin
As indefensible as infanticide
The blood of the seed
Ignorant and free
A volcano of revolution
In a state of civilization.

Gypsy
Dec 2020 · 39
Faded
Gypsy Dec 2020
Nothing in this life
Like the leaving it
Death...A tiny night-light
On the point of expiring
A dull, dreary affair
Dreading and hoping all.

The Thunder Calls
Gypsy Dec 2020
I've played cards with Plato
Dined with Edgar Alan Poe
I lived in places of pain ,
Places of sorrow
I shared a cell
With men nobody wants to know
I've seen the writing on the wall
The epitaph of fools
I've seen history made
I've seen history fall
I've heard old men beg for youth
And youth beg for the grave
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I've been up on the plateau
Where wise men talk with the wind
I've seen the fading light of God
Heard the tales of children
Around the campfires at night
Stories of monsters
Darkness and light
I've watched the flames dance
A dance of memories and rage
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I've ridden' your wild horses
From the concrete jungle
To the wild wild wilderness
I've turned to see your beauty
Echo in some strangers eye
Then fade with age
I've heard the old woman say
To late is the day you die
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I'll drown my sorrows
In this cup of poison
Stand and howl at the moon
Beg for your forgiveness
And I'll crawl for you
Across broken glass and bones
And I'll crawl for you
Like only a man can crawl..

And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls...

The Storyteller
Gypsy Dec 2020
Let Marble be the cold floor
upon which your memories walk.

As cities are fed our young,
To quench their thirst for life,
The machine, rusty and dying
Screams for more,
Cries out,
With its every last breath,
Death...

We push further into the abyss,
Deeper into oblivion,
Our only moon,
A tide,
Made ready for the turning...

Eyes,
Blind to all they see,
Watch forests fall,
Asphalt snakes,
Twist through jungles
All consuming,
Ever ready...

Drunken tales of gods
Pass over distilled lips,
Into a jungle of belief,
In these Taverns of futility,
Tongues,
Dripping wet.
Bring forth lies

Let history tell it all
Let history be your epitaph.

Face me
On this day of reckoning,
sing for me
Of a truth from within,
Let me hear your song,
Sung from a heart so true.
Sing,
As men once sang,
Of conquests,
Of maidens fair,
Bring from within,
To the forefront of your souls
An everlasting peace.

Let those with hearts speak,
Let the charity fanfare be silent,
Let man be one,
Let Nature's reality be reborn as a whole,
Those seeking power and wealth be cast aside.

Let us take back our fields,
Plant seeds,
To grow true,
Let the young run wild
On fields
Where the only sound,  the sound of life
Let the hunters be extinct,
Let the machines die,
Let man be king,
Woman be queen,
Seek truth,
Around fires of warmth.

Let the forests be our home,
A canvas of stars be our roof,
Let the whale sing of oceans,
Let the Eagle sing of skies,
Let mice sing of greatness
Let man be humble,
Trend softly.
Walk this earth,
On a tightrope of peace..

Let this be a warning,
Of mans mortality.
Let the storyteller reign supreme

His story ..
Long dead, long forgotten,
Pass through your realm of dreams

His stories tell of hunger -
His stories tell of War.

Ghost Of A Candle
Gypsy Dec 2020
There's a ghost of a candle
Lit by a flame of hope
Burning in a church of sorrow..
A cross
Forged on the Anvils of War
The souls of many a battle
Screaming Hymns of Redemption
While mothers and lovers
Cradle memories
In arms, that knew the touch of love
In arms, stained, by the forces of life
As
The love of nations
Echoes
Screaming Hymns of Redemption
In the fading light.

This Age of Beauty
Gypsy Dec 2020
In this age of beauty
We dance digital
An ongoing beat
Forever circling
Never ending.
We sing of genetics
Seek immortality
Like children seeking a future.
We tread paths
Once trodden by fools
With the sweep of a thought.
Brush aside reason..
We surf the net.
We build bigger and better
Displace nature
With castles of rubble
Nests of concrete,
For vulture-men
We devastate
Our souls  
Give begging bowls of hope
To those born
Or yet to come.
We swim puddles of greed.
We cut our noses to spite our faces.
We turn green to grey
Roses to dust.
We advertise pebbles as gold.
We are surplus to requirement...

Roadkill Morality
Gypsy Dec 2020
Invisible -  
Out in the open
The quiet -  
Your life - unlived
Hangs in this closet time
The door opens - closes
This life in-between - meaningless
You claw at spent moments
The seconds - minutes - hours
Wasted
The purpose you seek
Buried .. In a Paupers Grave
Bludgeoned to death...

In a dream of paradise
Upon a hill
The casual observer
Delivers a speech
Without thought
Line after line
Page after page
The words fall
Into this black hole mind...

The sanity of fury
From the insanity of War
Beckons...

Our Moby **** creation
This white Whale life
Devoid of purpose
Measured in road **** moments of fun and pleasure
This serial killer morality
Holds out hope, a flag of Humanity
On a barren Earth
A barren thought
Echoes across the Universe..

We are -
Have always been -
Lost

Digital Fix
Gypsy Dec 2020
The screen, Awakens,
Holster your MIND

Realities TV

Drips from dawns syringe..
Ready to hurl its daily dose...
This digital fix,
Ready to be every dreamers dream
This faceless abattoir of emotions
This mills and boons reality
Dragged from some pit of despair
Naked,  truth and lies merge...
That all telling clarity
Fading from view
As you leave sanity
For the moral hinterlands of BEING
One last time you twist, only to turn
No more pleading
No more begging
That digital fix...pierces the brain


Lost...to all REASON

Gypsy

Crucified
Gypsy Dec 2020
The pain
Pleasure
The cutting away
The red flesh,  
Comforts
That forsaken longing

The last thought
Comes and goes
The dying breathe,  
Beached, in a dream
Worthy of an encore
That sustainable wanting - more

Crucified

Those dreams  
This coming together
Of all that makes a life
That easy chair of having
That greedy filled feeling
The lottery of birth
Laughs in your face

That cast off life you've worn
This hand me down existence
Past from generation to generation
All you've ever known
Never shiny Never new
The dead eyes of youth
Watch your every move
Covert your every wish

The king is dead
Long live the king

After Thought

Than your screams can travel

In the wings of your lives

In the gutters of your dreams

Knows no mercy..

Mundane Mantras
Gypsy Dec 2020
Catch this thought
As it falls
As it ruptures time,
As it cuts - reason
As it draws - blood,
Life - giving death its final stab
It turned its back
One to many times
The push and pull of emotion
Twists its allure
The noose of passion
Your ****** poetry
Your lust - lingers
For a moment
Plays on minds - games
That once in a life time feeling
Comforts me
Draws me in - closer
Promises
Kept - then
With a wish you were here
Broken in the final moments
Life - giving death its final stab
A jester's trick -
The pillow talk of strangers
Will bring us to our senses
The depth of knowledge
In the urban fantasies, banishing
Tears, from our conveyer belt lives
As they peck and pick
At daily routines, mundane mantras
Our ****** mothers - ******* fathers
Raised this ****** generation
From rack to ruin
The knives - out
The love in
Push and twist
In the gap of ages
The connoisseurs
Will have salt for the wounds
Make a meal of every pain
Will drink your blood
Stand close to your flame
Feel your heat
as you drive the stake deeper
It will not change
This illusion of me - you
This once upon a time
This merry go round of hours and minutes
These Angels of War
Demons of Conflict
Gather at the foot hills of Love
To stand the test of time
To feed upon memories
Given - freely
The past
Held hostage
In the back rooms of time
Life - giving death its final stab

Gypsy..

In Between
Gypsy Dec 2020
A door into the dark
The bright rim of the extreme
Raking at dead fires
The fury of indifference
Like a deacon at prayer
Money mingled with man's divinity - inflicting pain
The anaesthetic for the sceptics side
In this furnace fire she slept
Where the light wind lives
She hangs between the thoughtless world
Created half to rise, half to fall...

Gypsy

Birth

Mother's fingers
Life's first gladness

Her strange heart beating

The cruel immortality of love.

The Slide
Gypsy Dec 2020
Bored, uninformed
Like an outdated explosion
Tense, musty,  forced silence
Going down the long slide -  voices without faces
Large scale versus, seemingly at random
So permanent, blank and true
We avoid them as unlucky places
Where promises are kept...

Gypsy

The Other Corner..
Gypsy Dec 2020
Sorrow - Immortalized in dust

Humble proud faces
Sacred ceremonies
Those spiritual celestial treasures

A thousand torches, that never sleep
This endless moment
Caught in the crossfire of time.

The Grey Dawn (For L.C)
Gypsy Dec 2020
Solemn hours,  that mock the night

The grey dawn
Paved the meadows with gentle odours..
These visionary flowers
Murmuring,  collecting tears.
This cradle to a memory
Calm and mild
Like friends - Once parted

His song now silent, the Spirit mute..

Gypsy
Dec 2020 · 58
Spellbound
Gypsy Dec 2020
The sacred calm, that vale of life
Whispering from the slums of Paradise
I was a dog on these streets
Some pensive Spirit from dunes of coal
Beyond the forest of the night
Praying to the carcass of a tightened drum
Once true and kind, that solving emptiness
Unreachable - changed from love to lie
Our Moon - sinking in their Holy Christian tongue virtue
Praised with sour humble hands, gestures and psalms
From the fields of a loveless land..

Corners

Softly, in the shadows
Alone in the gloom

Time..
Gypsy Dec 2020
Time - that restless Spheres

Drives -
The gravity of the world...
The flowers to fade..

Sweet passion's lie..

To cancel all our vows
From life to death - Beyond this mercenary drudge
The rewards of sin
The metaphysics of magic
These omnipotent studious Artisans
Emperors and Kings
Stretched the minds of man
To deceive ourselves...
In a world of profit and delight
A strange philosophy
Harsh, contemptible and vile
An Altar and a Church
The regents of a perpetual night
Vain fancies and despair
Our revolving door of time..

Gypsy

The Curse Of Exile
Gypsy Dec 2020
Hell's sumptuous sweat surrounds my soul..

Sacred was this space
Sacred were the sweet strains
The noble pipes
Like those champions of chivalry
I slipped into sleep
Plunged into the deep waters
Your jaws around my waist
A brain so wild
Our serpent *** betrayed
Love pierced its eyes
So much evil survives....

Dust To Dust
Gypsy Dec 2020
Sheets of zinc changing under my foot
The dreamless face of the Sun's steady acetylene
Migrant envies - watched the skies burn..

They want their dead back
My wife, my children, my home
Over the pink fires, where the natives walked
Quietly Envied, quietly Human
With sea-green eyes, with every reflection..

I'm nobody, I'm a nation - folding the sea
Telling mourners around the graveside
I loved them all, the drowned, the lonely
The sailors at Sea, dividing the absent...
On this unlucky island
We all know
Our dust is Industrial.


Gypsy

Ape Or Angel
Gypsy Dec 2020
Our homes are the prisons...

Our home is the Workhouse..

Far from the longest pleasures
Rancorous hatred - Industry and Energy
That great dust heap economy - a shuttered mansion
Nations and Governments
Tragedy as a farce - for Blood and Plunder...

Between education and catastrophe
The terrorist and the policemen
These bloodthirsty guttersnipes..

For pleasure and palaces
Evil can always find a home
All us abstract lovers - inorganic to the universe...

Humanity - an ingenious machine for being
An ape or an angel
A sentiment artfully assumed
Guinea pigs - in a laboratory of gods
A chain of injustice and oppression
Outlawed - exiled
To the past age of this Earth..

Gypsy
Gypsy Dec 2020
The bishop,
Fallen now -

Friends, estranged or dead
My grave and bed denied me..

Upon a thousand stages
Themes of art and song
Of poets with lines to weep..
Feelings by gram or ounce

Civilisation,
Put to the gun -
Humanities puberty,
Roared like..
Lion and Woman -
Rag and Bone..
In this lonely place
Decadence became wisdom

Allegorical dreams,
Adorn old songs...
There's a purpose set
The great forefathers
The counter-truth
Broken on this wheel time..

Nothing is -Soul and whole
Nothing is -Beaten into clay
Man's road,
Remains - An ancient cross..

Pearls To The Pigs
Gypsy Dec 2020
The world
A tragedy
Sharp sticks and cherry bombs
The soul of a clown
Provoked emotions
Beautiful sad songs
Arguments or expressions

People that know love
Like Juliet or Guinevere or Eloise
To burn - to be on fire
The intimacies of lives
Their wounds
Their walks with God
The sounds and movements of their bodies
Evokes a resonance
We become monuments to them
Liberate ourselves from our suffocating mantras

The heart
A strange beast
Hope
The Crystal **** of desire
The slave of the passions
It’s in the bones, it’s in the bones
It speaks in emotions
Walk with me through this dark valley
The parts of me that are used and broken
Through error
Through trial
Through fantasy and illusion

Recognition of an ancient love
The stirrings of the Spirit
The machinery of feelings
The eternal perspective
Emotional harmony with any old God
Your heart is the beacon
Your heart is the storm
A biography of memory
Just before a kiss
Dissolves into texture  
Incoherence and immersion
The pilots of grief
Creeping dreams that flew from the light

That old longing
Waiting inside me like snakes and toads
Rose in me like a flame
Love is undying,
Of that I feel certain
Our emotions are music  
Our bodies are instruments
The most magical thing
Faith
Empathy
Echoing back
Subtle vibrations from the realm of the senses

Earth...

Should be a World of Love...

Reflecting Reflections
Gypsy Dec 2020
The lukewarm insipid air
My childish soul
The slumbering contentment
This carefully preserved optimism
A wild longing
A rage against this toneless,
Flat,
Normal,
Sterile life,
A Cathedral of Myself
The established order on their heads
This fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity...

The Path
Gypsy Dec 2020
An ocean of boundaries
The infinite totality of thinking
The umbilical conflict
Pregnant with the seed of purpose
A trivial slave
An obscure shadow!
Moving into the unknown

Those who travel but never really arrive...

Individually,
Inspired,
Imaginative
Their memory is myrrh
Their presence,
Frankincense and flowers.

Intervals
Gypsy Dec 2020
There is an emptiness inside of her

The intervals between grief
A void that will never be filled
That longing never disappears
Hovers at the her edges  
It takes up space and it ***** out the air
Grief twinkling in the distance
Such a jagged fault line through her history

I am swept up in it....

Shadow Earth
Gypsy Dec 2020
We stumble like children
Strive greedily to take in as much light and love
Find comfort in the rhythm of the sea
To synchronize with the frequency of the waves.
A coaxing whisper when the wind lips the trees
To make impossible poems from space and silence
Cities  intrude into the distant humming welcoming darkness
Seething with hidden life
A little bit of the sun and moon
Part earth and sea, wind and fire
The surge of grief,
The respite of peace,
Then fear again
And the mystery wraps the earth in waves
This infinite procession of life

I Am
Gypsy Dec 2020
The shore and the wave
Breaking in measured thunder
The minnows of this ichthyological metaphor'
Aphrodite on her scalloped chariot
The echoing dunes,
That kind of intoxicating insanity
Other people dreaming outside of the lines
Walking into my life
Needing someone to love them beyond reason
I breathed all of them in so deeply
Fascinated by touching eternity
The ocean's pulse
The voices of tides
Navigating the shores of the heart
Night's black spell on darkness
Caught the light, the air, the wind
Running down the edges
As we are crying the oceans, in our tears
I Am.....
