She will blaze through you
like a gypsy wildfire.
Igniting your soul and dancing
in its flames.
And when she is gone,
the smell of her
smoke will be the only
thing left
to soothe you.

Gypsy Wildfire
She will blaze through you
like a gypsy wildfire.
Igniting your soul and dancing
in its flames.
And when she is gone,
the smell of her
smoke will be the only
thing left
to soothe you.

Yes, indeed. And sometimes, at night, I still catch a whiff of that smoke, more than a decade later. But she has gone beyond and dances among the stars, and a bird might be heard that speaks a single word. —- Lovely poem, Nicole.

That will be quite a tale, maybe in the writing I would finally understand some of it.
