Talisman and Adulterous Dreams
The gypsy mistress
Reads mystical cards
And delineates the future.
With a conspiracy of dark magic,
She entrances my soul
Navigating a life of sorrow.
Her earlobes are ornamented
With gold earrings
That cast a soft glow in the moonlight
Until I’m hypnotized
With adoration
For her undeniable charms
And her power
To shape destinies.
I beg her for a talisman,
I have to make
An arduous journey
Through a valley
Of thieves and intense heat.
I promise to return
And bow to her
Like an obedient slave
If her eyes can
See me through
The streams of blood
I expect to swim.
She promises me
I’ll survive
To kiss her slowly
In the forbidden night
Of adulterous dreams.
