Gypsy Winds

The shadows of a smile are hidden

beneath the secrets of the moon

and the enchanting hue of passion

is still flaming with the heat of June~

 

And as the warmness of summer

disappears upon ivory skin

the blossom of once was

waits to bloom sweetly again~

 

Still, the rustling skirts of autumn leaves

peel like naked mistresses in the breeze

in the violins of the gypsy winds

surrendering to old man winter's knees.

This is the kind of poem I wish I grew up reading, it's so beautifully written! I could read it a hundred times over and still get caught up on how every word you chose was perfect... You created such vivid imagery of every season in a way that made me feel like I was experiencing it all as I read... I really love this :)

[SyberRose]

Thank you so very much Hannah for that awesome review...so happy you enjoyed this piece...Rose:)

You have a wonderful combination of images here. I condensed your first verse as follows to make it sing like a song: You may have this song as a gift to keep as your own since most of the words are yours: The last line of your poem should say Winter’s knees.

Smile

Shadows of your smile are hidden
by the secrets of the Moon.
Your enchanting hues of passion
still flame with the heat of June.

You're welcome! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful poems with me. You should make them all into songs some day. They all possess images that burst forth with emotion, color, music, and cadence.

The character in the poem is saying that the girl remembers her secret moments of passion through the nigjt and as the day rises, she waits for the night for her to be able to fall again to his knees.

Very nice poem. I like the rhyme scheme, and I feel that it flows without the rhyming and syntax feeling forced. It's also a very sweet little poem. Excellent job.
