THE GYSPSY AND THE MAIDEN
shivam tuli Dec 2014
Existing merely, my life was blasé
A lone wanderer, trying to escape the indispensable
I built my world on pillars of sand,
Nefarious logic razed my cradle
Ravaged my world where it stands.

Extant for years I was born that day
Rising from Lucifer’s lap to her kingdoms bay.
From a state of limbo I was awaken
By the serenity of the fairest maiden

A promise of nature, she was an angel of god
An enigma in oblivion, she waltzed gaily
Pious was her aura, heart unflawed.
The horde and the crowd, basked in her holy fire
Yet unfazed lay the maiden, void of desire.




In abyss of her soul a pristine child laid
Yearning for love beneath the masquerade.
For Fortuna played wicked with her past
Cynical was maiden, lost and aghast.

A wanderer amongst the enthralled I found my abode
Enticed by the gullible child, towards her I strode.
Unfathomable was the gypsy’s love for the maiden
Cupid and Aphrodite commenced the wheel
And with love and glory was there fate laden.
