My Gypsy Heart

So then ........ I promise you
one last fling
if I must
My dear gypsy heart
to satisfy your
unquenchable wanderlust......

I allow you no more than
a kiss or two
Break free of those fetters
I now permit you to...
Fly high.................so high
yet remain within reach
Let not anyone capture you
I do thee beseech

And when the time comes
to enter the world
of promises and vows
made before the Lord

Don’t you look back
with longing and tears unseen
Forget what was and why
or what could have been

Remember what all you had
and say with a smile,
“ I’m a gypsy heart
come home
after a journey
of a thousand miles...............”
