How beautifully she sings
and dances
Enticing people by
her prances
A spark that sets all
in motion
Tap the ground the dainty feet
in commotion
Her beauty and charm bewitch
the mob
As she moves and dances
the hearts throb
The gypsy is unmindful of her
own charms
The goat is her pet, excellently
she performs
Pins the wandering girl all
her affection
Onto a man in rank but
all deception
the beauty finds all her love in
an ugly beast
A hunchback who adores her and
never he ceased
his boundless love and care her
only salvation
Among hungary vultures filled
with stagnation
The two souls torn and frayed
found all their solace
In Death’s embrace
Two skeletons entwined in glee
'C'est beau, la vie'
Your own poem Ballerina came to mind Jasmeen...beautifully written poem! ! !
A beautiful write full of colour, passion, and the dance of emotions in a spellbinding trance, when the hunchback dreams of romance with her, as the two extreme opposites find solace with each other! Excellent write!
La Esmeralda As you sow so you reap life is ever beautiful
Yasmeen Khan's knowledge of English Literature is amazing, no surprise if she writes such wonderful poems. See how nicely she emphasizes the beauty of life. Two skeletons entwined in glee 'C'est beau, la vie'
A moving story of privation and pathos! The story of this gypsy girl is perhaps the story of every gypsy girl! To some life is so harsh.... yet her parting words show that she is still in love with life!
Seemed the gypsy I knew, his green eyes enchanted even that sky so blue, gypsy girl kiss my soul dared God to ask for you.
