Gypsy, Play Your Violin

 

Let your lament to the moon begin

Gypsy play your violin

Eyes that shine in a moonlit haze

A darkened yet enchanted gaze

The fortune teller weaves his tale

A story that will never fail

A potion to enchant the heart

A spell so lovers never part

..

 

He became a gypsy rover

Took her to the land of clover

Took her to the hills abound

There was so much love around

The trees whispered softly an irish tune

That summoned the dark side of the moon

Carressed now in their magickal hands

Forest creatures began their dance

..

 

The music filled the scented air

They danced enchanted with such flair

He took her to a mountain high

Almost as if they could fly

"I am no gypsy" Then said he

"I am a rich man, come and see"

I own the lands here all around

Leave ye not this love we've found

..

 

I stay forever here with you

Love is fair and love is true

I loved the gypsy but I love you

Tell me what else should I do

A lord ye may be but a gypsy to me

As I look you are who I see

Let your gentle music begin

Gypsy play your violin

    STUNNING .

    This really transported me.
    It was written so professionally with well placed words and feeling.
    It is done with magic and lust and sentiment...
    all the spirits that roam inside a gypsy's heart.
    I could imagine your surprise at the coincident of the endearing name, before I even read this piece.
    And I'm so glad I did,
    It makes your comments on my work all the more valued knowing what an exquisite writer you are.
    I will know doubt read more.

    Blessings Gypsy,
    LOWELL

    oh I do like this, the gipsy boy of Irish romanticism. My love was once a gipsy boy (unfortunately he didn't own any land but his humor was priceless lol)

    wow, I really like this one! This has wonderful flow and imagery throughout. The first two lines are awesome, they immediately set me up for a wonderful ride as I read the remainder of this piece. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Very well done.

    It is really romantic, but somehow it has this dark flair to it. I like the way music is a main theme in all the verses. It somehow connects the whole poem more.

    This is very lyrical -- I can hear this being sung to the tune of the gypsy's violin. I would just suggest "Took her where the hills abound". Good luck in the contest.

    Thought these lines just flowed so well, and the story such a lovely one. Kind of like a fairy tale with the happily ever after ending. Liked the rhythm and rhyme, and the wonderful ending.

    Excellent

    A really entrancing and romantic tale of Romany Ryes and their crying violins. Quite the enchanting pleasure to read. Thanks so much for entering my contest. Best of luck.
