Love is

Gypsy Queen

1:

Love is a funny thing and a brutal beast .. It can seduce you down a dark alley and then rip you to shreds when you're at your most vulnerable. It can feel as if an angel is brushing you with her silken hair, and then in an instant she's a horrid old witch beating you over the head with her gnarly broomstick.

It hurts.. Still.. we keep loving.

I followed a gypsy woman into the desert, and she kept running away and hiding .. looking back and laughing .. her silver bracelets in the moonlight enticing me onward and further in, until I lost all sense of myself and I was willing to leave everything I cared about behind to chase her, and to catch her, and be with her.

Then all at once she was gone .. and looking around I saw that I was alone in the night and helpless to the world. At first I was filled with a terror that I might not survive, that I couldn't find my way out. But after awhile I settled in, and there in the dark, at the heart of it all, I found myself a man that I could live .. or die with.

After a long time she came back to me. This sorceress, my love. She took my hand and told me that she would not leave my side. Together we led ourselves back home .. to our friends and family.

And now the world can see .. who I find myself to truly be.

Alone in the desert .. brought back to life.
