The Gypsy Girl

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

looked like a Christmas tree

adorned with flashing lights

drawing attention at will

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

she I met on a bus ride

heading to work on a usual day

as I jealously guarded my seat

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

couldn’t keep her eyes off me

as she played on the little banjo

electrifying the ghost ride

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

played from her heart

with a rare passion

with steady eyes focused on me

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

reminded me of Mona Lisa

she was

indeed a living masterpiece of beauty

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

took me to dreamland

hypnotising me at will

romancing my fragile heart

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

led me to her lair

deep within the magical forest

far away past dreamland

the gypsy girl in the coloured gown

made my journey a mystery

made my trip adventurous

the best bus ride I ever had!!!
