ballerina girl

ballerina on the dance floor
dancing on the pond of dark stone
graceful petite mon amour
a lovely bloom dances alone.
just like a lily in breeze
you sway gracefully, full of ease
your feet softly kiss the dance floor
let the breeze make your sweet soul soar.

gypsy lady

she sat in a trance so serene
her hazel eyes reading me
the gypsy lady made a sign
towards the next chair for me
her language was not known to me
she drew a symbol just for me
on the table with a small chalk red
her fingers painted words unsaid.
