Some women have souls that beg to move to travel, to love, to be free. These women have gypsy soules


We are a country away
Miles and miles
But still I can close my eyes
And feel your arms go around me

I hear your voice on the telephone
The click of our worlds connecting
And even when no words pass through the line
I feel content knowing you are there

You, my lover
My possibility
An impossible chance for us both
To find what we have been looking for

Through rain and shine
Darkness and light
You will always have a little piece of my soul
Fastened around your neck.

And when our worlds seem so far apart
I will touch the beads and think of you
Living a life so different than mine
Connected by a single strand of summer love
But that strand, it is so strong
Fortified by our entwined souls
By days of obstacles
Forcing us together one by one

So don’t think it hard, love
The distance is not so bad
We can stay together through it all
If it’s meant to be

"Some people just don't know when to quit." --from the back of my XC team's 200 summer mile club T-shirt

I can hardly believe I'm the first to have a word upon the matter-- this poem is really good, hennarose. The way you put it... I love it. How you put the telephone bit in there first-- I've thought about that a bit, and it's fantastic-- to think that you're so far apart from someone, but you can hear them like they're right next to you, and it's not hard to imagine, if you close your eyes, that they actually are right next to you! And then you put in the bit about being connected by the beads, as well as the phone line, it's so easy to see, you've done it well.
