Bohemian Feathers for sale

 

She stood in the doorway...
Cleaning me along,
Leading me to center-stage
Where she always belonged.
I couldn’t believe a Gypsy
Would smile at me; I’m just
Different; maybe a little unique,

Garnished silky flows radiating
Everywhere she goes; hanging down
Loose straightening magnificent
Rows of gold flashing tones
Bohemian style; brilliant reds
Contrasting bleached blonde Hair;
Everybody knows and no one cares
Cause she’s Stevie, the gypsy queen,

I became a seam-stress at fifteen,
Before I knew patched jeans were cool,
I did it out of necessity, I Had to be bold!
Little did I wonder what they thought,
Never conformed, a unit, no; self-taught,
Define yourself or find yourself;
No one told me so I just guessed;
Freedom’s caissons touched my soul;
you understand the underlying tones

I’m trying to reach inside bones
If truth be told we all desired that
Courage, but befitting clothes are society’s dogma
Fleeting like lemonades’ acidity’s coffers;
Born To Be Sassy-present pretend, put on a show;
And Breathe it all in
Never avoiding that shady white rose
The mighty waves that she throws
Riveting words that sheltered a free
Spirit from shame; nothing to lose
Oh but how the melody changed

ME!

Be noisy, and play the tambourine;
Shout to the world, here your voice sing:
Should it matter if anyone hears?
Not to be considered just do it without fear.

The irony of it all stinks with enormous
forgiving Winks; pick yourself up, whenever
you fall!

She is the “White Winged Dove” we hear at dawn’s light,
Echoing melodious calls, blessed long ago, a supernova,
Of the universal light �" the miracle starburst sprinkles us all.
Feel the sensational tones tingling tall - trust it, no doubts
You’ll only grow strong.

I thought everybody knew Stevie Nicks? It's Lindsey Buckingham no one knows. Wonderful tale here you wove. Gypsies are romantic in idea and thought. My daughter will tell you different. In Spain one grabbed her to offer a blessing and when my daughter refused she loudly received a curse in a public square.

[Confuser]

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the greatest guitar players around and much more...the visual you evoked of your daughter is wild and scary...like in a movie...hope she didn't speak spanish...anyway, thank you.

great poem about stevie....

"rulers make bad lovers, better put your kingdom up for sale"

such wise words


i have fleetwood mac's two CD greatest hits and cannot believe that Stevie's "I'm alright" is not on it...one of their best songs,
she epitomizes strength in her lyrics and voice...as does this poem.

Jacob, got chills, love Fleetwood Mac, everybody in the world should love Rumours, think it sold more than any; wrote this quickly, pic of her was on facebook, but she did inspire me. As for I'm alright, bet I know every word, had to pull it up on youtube, yep, didn't realize it was there, have you any dreams you'd like to sell, dreams of lonliness, like a heartbeat drives you mad, and the stillness of remembering what you had, what you lost...one of the best song writers ever. Thanks. Dale

[Emily]

Such a strong write! I too have had my self shaped by the music I listen too. Great job!

Dale, Stevie Nicks, like Rhiannon: wouldn't you love to love her? Too wordy? Not at all...each word had meaning...oh, such meaning! It's hard to capture the inner essence of a famous artist, but you seem to have encapsulated Nicks' spirit, the gypsy wind blowing softly through mind and song and witch-length hair...all of her. Great write! take care...dan
