Gypsy Soul

I felt you kiss the edges

of my gypsy soul last night.

You laid aside my armour

So rusty, yet so bright.

 

All the poets in all the bars

hung by Morganna's violet hair

casting ideals towards the stars

wept when they landed elswhere.

 

I let you take the diamond

from between my broken teeth;

and laid the hunter to rest

tonight never to repeat.

 

Our bodies told a story

full of puns and lifeless caricatures,

for the people we once were

that lived within this parchment

of our long forgotten dreams.
