A bitter focus in the wind tonight

A bitter focus in the wind tonight

A Poem by Mark Heathcote



There’s a bitter focus in the wind tonight

My soul is losing altitude

My heart is in the eye of a storm!

As my senses, are touched by lightning.

 

--Oh there’s a Russian gipsy

And, she’s bewitching me

Like Rapunzel at her wheel…

But she’s not imprisoned.

 

She’s as wild as the wind

And I’m afraid she won’t wear my ring…

Or even worse she will…

And never be happy, just staying, still.

 

Oh there’s a bitter focus in the wind tonight

Should I be lonesome in this tower?

Or should I make her my bride my gipsy bride

And travel the length and breadth of lightning.

Of; lightning in the fulcrum of a whirlwind.

 

Oh my soul is gaining altitude

As my heart sees a rainbows band of gold

Where Rapunzel wears a pretty dress...

And I promise you that is just a prelude.

 

--Oh there’s a Russian gipsy

And, she’s bewitching to me

Like Rapunzel at her wheel…

But she’s not imprisoned, and neither is her man.

About
I like all kinds of poems but I tend to gravitate toward eastern spiritual poetry. My muse almost demands it of me. So you may find quite a few being poured out from time to time. I all so write man.. more..
