Gitana (Gypsy)

A heart thats free

I have no keeper

no reason to stay

I sleep where I like

---

you dont know me

you never will

im here today

gone tommorow

---

ill drive you wild

we'll make love under mango trees

we'll kiss under the silver moon

you'll be scared to lose me

---

but today when i was packing

i thought of the next country

the next city

the next man

---

i realized that i could travel the world

with no one trying to keep me behind

with no jealousies

with no drama

---

i realized that that was all good

but it would be worthless without you

how bitter life would be

---

im a gypsy

but my heart is no longer free

...a free spirit is something to behold...trickling gold dust through fingers of an open palmed hand...moments in time is the best for which one could realistically hope and everything thereafter is a bonus...to know ones self in the way you so charmingly describe here is not as common a phenomena as is otherwise the case so when i see a written piece that reflects the most intimate of self awareness i am moved and impressed in ways transcendent of the limitations in a word...Excellent poem...most impressive :)

The poem is amazing. I lived a gypsy life and loved the road and a good escape. I like your description of a gypsy life. A surprise ending. Love can steal even a gypsy heart. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

oooOOOOoooo.... I liked it! You caught me offguard at the end, and I always appreciate that. Good job.
