Moonlit Gypsy

 

 

On moonlit nights she dances here,
her gypsy skirts that swirl with dreams,
my rhythmic dancer of heart's cheer,
entranced by silver starlight beams.

My lute that plays a merry tune,
romance the music, lady dance,
within our hearts, we sing the moon,
the magic love that we entrance.

The Winter of Light

As shards of blue the rays reach out
The stars of Yuletide night.
The midday moon reveals a pout
Here is the winter's light.

I call my love as Yuletide comes
And hold his hand in mine.
We dance to winter’s beating drums,
Around the season's pine.

As shards of blue the rays reach out
The stars of Yuletide night.
The midday moon reveals a pout
Here is the winter's light.

O hail the Holly King in song
That voices start to sing
A winter night that is so long
As we exchange a ring.

As shards of blue the rays reach out
The stars of Yuletide night.
The midday moon reveals a pout
Here is the winter's light.

To dance and sing is just the start
My lord beneath the bough
My love and me as one in heart
At Yule we made our vow.

As shards of blue the rays reach out
The stars of Yuletide night.
The midday moon reveals a pout
Here is the winter's light.

Un Cafe a Paris

I sat alone in the café
A glass, house red in front of me,
My thoughts drift to that day in May
Waiting for my Parisian.

In love we walked by the river
As city lights glimmer all night,
The promise, now would deliver,
Waiting for my Parisian.

Time ticks by so painfully slow,
The right place, our place as before.
Eyes glance to the clock, will he show?
Waiting for my Parisian.

Sunsets over Sacre Coeur’s view,
Thoughts entwine with the reddened sky,
On the breeze, I pray they reach you,
Waiting for my Parisian.

My mind hears your voice sing in French,
How this English girl fell in love,
My lost dreams of romance will quench,
Waiting for my Parisian.

As the bells of Notre Dame Ring,
Eyes glance one last time at the door,
And my heart in joy starts to sing
He’s here, my own Parisian.
