Poems
Jun 2015
The road is bare
The road is bare
The path is steep
The wood is thick and vast
The midnight air
Which haunts your sleep;
The moon is rising fast.
All through the night
Strange creatures dance
And cast in you their spell
In their dark light
You lie entranced
In woods you once knew well.
You visit her
You know she's wise,
You know she'll set you free.
And undeterred
Beneath her eyes
Regard: her pain you see.
She reaches out
Her hand takes yours
Her head turns to the north
From round about
Voices implore
They plead, they babble forth.
You're scared, and yet
You know her way
In harshness she is kind
You don't regret
The light of day
That you have left behind.
You join her in
Her secret place
She loves you, yet says no
You can't begin
You cannot trace
The path no man can go.
For in her den
Such secrets lie
That she just has to keep
For all such men
Who come to try
This river runs too deep.
And so she hides
Herself away
From you and from the world
Does not confide,
For there's no way
To own this gypsy girl.
