Gathered one behind one they came in a herd throughout the village wagon wheels heard, the clanging of pots the clinging of tin staring I was in bewilderment when I noticed him.
They searched the fields for borrowed land they settled down gathered in camp, daily I watched infatuated by them no" I tell a lie, I was with him.
Just like the others he laughed and danced in the night thoughts of him chased me followed him I did, to keep him in sight. Unnoticed I watched like a lurker in the bush, unable to control my burning lust.
He bathed in the lake watching again unseen by him fantasies crossing my mind as my eyes bore into his skin.
With a blink from my eye he was gone from the lake my heart skipped a beat when I heard the twig break, there he stood naked with eyes as black as coal he see's and upon me frees my gypsy soul.
The wagon wheels tins and pots we heard come in daylight, yet not a sound to be heard when they left in the dead of the night. Regret? or feel shame? how could I not at tall instead I'm forever grateful to the gypsy who answered my call.

About this poem:
Today I was reminded of an old love song which then reminded me of an old poem I once wrote here years ago, my oh my the similarities, and here was me thinking I had written it coming from nowhere. Funny how things impact our lives without us really knowing it.... Mills & boom have a lot to answer for too I'm sure.
You found me broken at the side of the road Dazed, confused and almost no hope You sat down beside me and chatted a while Then stretched out your hand and said with a smile “Come walk with me down this road We’ll take a few steps and see where we’ll be. It’s a good time to live, just come walk with me."
I looked up and saw magic in your eyes And felt a spark light somewhere deep down inside You held my hand and dragged me along “This is life’s road. It’s where we belong.”
I walked by your side in wonder and awe At the beauty that is in all that we are. You showed me the love you wanted to share, So I walked at your side along this strange road Learning of love and yearning for more.
I turned to the side and the path that was there “Come walk with me down this wandering path?” You smiled as you said “Of course I will dear. We’ll make our own path and tend it with care.”
So we walked down that road paying no mind To those who would laugh as we passed by. So when we walked home the very last time And we lay down forever in each other’s arms.
And when we were gone and the laughter had died All they could say is, ”Where are the lovers so old and so grey Who lived their love new each and every day.”

About this poem:
I write quite a lot now "I am Broken and alone" and I wrote this in about 15 minutes when i Woke in the middle of the night. At the time I was just starting to explore the realm of dating. Unsure and eager. I was rewarded by a scammer contacting me one one of the sites i was on. Never the less I was flattered and this is what spilled out of me that evening when I thought that I might have received an opportunity to love again
asclepius greek god of medicine cure this aching heart with the medicine of love athena goddess of greece i call upon you to ease the pain like your sacrifical lamb i lie on your altar take me to the goddess of love the cure the remedy through the sands of time i call your name pausing to say i love you the cure to my heart
Unter der tausend lanterna, Das Wo mien liebe ist verloren! Unter der tausend lanterna, Das wo du bist geboren! Wo ist mien Liebe, Warum hat du gayen unter der stern? Ich bin so verlorn!
There’s a story that the Gypsies know is true,
If your love wears your golden earrings she forever belongs to you!
Dancing round the Gypsies campfires burning very bright, gazing at the stars, thinking of my love one, dancing wildly and drinking throughout the night!
Nostrobia!
La Dee Dah Da! La Dee Dah Da!
I knew a Russian girl, I knew her very well, Her name was Tatiana and her name tinkled like a bell!
She was my Tovarich, Budesh moey devushkoi but she is not my forever love!
Nostrobia!
La Dee Dah Da! La Dee Dah Da!
Ich bin so verlorn!
Ich kennen ein German Fraulein, mein liebe I gave to her my heart
She left me and went to heaven, how sad! She said we’d never, never part
Why did she have to go away? I love and miss her more and more every night and day!
Ich bin so allein und verlorn!
I drink to the stars in heaven because I know that she will be waiting there!
i'm going to build a bridge a bridge to your heart there is only one place that i need to start this is the single most important part honest foundations they are an art next i'll build piers of life they will be strong an high to keep troubled waters from you an strife the mud will be mixed with the sweat of my sole the bricks laid love the toll i'll join it all together with help from my friends expansion a quality that has no ends then i'll paint it with a humourous sigh to engage your smile an enthuse your wry around now i should be knocking upon your door with a bunch of flowers from the garden floor a yes would be grand in the scheme of things but with a bridge of love i'll see what it brings...
