Lost Gypsy Wife
My heart’s on fire
for he lost his gypsy wife
Natasha, the artist
washed away from life
too soon, too sudden
borne to the afterlife.
She would take you to the water
but her soul would never enter.
Thalassa was her darkest dread
and she told it to her mentor
but the Bacchanal had claimed him
and changed him to lamenter.
But without the fair Natasha
there is no more Wilma Dean
no Marjorie, or Maggie.
You know the ones I mean.
She gave them life within her art.
Now, she’s cut from that moving scene
and no one knows what happened
and no one will be believed.
