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'
A beautiful poem, well written, wonderful. I have seen the film many times.
(Life is beautiful) and no one can take from her that feeling of heart! Esmeralda the beautiful angel in mid of monsters in a dark and crazy world very dramatic piece of art thanks to share
Loved this poem. Brought back memories of kindness, love and compassion. And the lasting effect one small act of kindness can do. Gypsies are such a colorful subject to write about and paint.
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!
