My Gypsy Michal is Michal Elia Kamal — watch her perform below… Wow!
Gypsy michal plays percussion
michal loves to sing and play percussion
when michal lays hands to djembe hide
women have wept — grown men have cried
there is such fire in michal’s stroke
she turns their longing heart to smoke
when the djembe thunders and michal belts
imaginations swoon — heart strings melt
her body twists like a cobra snake
she stirs your passions wide awake
gypsy michal plays hot percussion
stone cold truth — ain’t no discussion

My favorite part:
“when she dances with djembe ‘tween her legs …
her lithe body gyrates like a passion snake”
Glad it touched you Shawna — and LOVE the music video you shared here… hot! Thank you… 😉
That guy won American Idol last year. He is so good. But she, oh my, she is somethin’ else!
She is superb! Wow! The real deal as a player/singer — her beauty is a bonus. So glad you introduced me to her… 🙂

Not sure where the link took me Shawna?
Rob, there are those who say there is no self, only our masks — the ones we wear for others and use to fool ourselves. Gypsy Polly isn’t concerned with any of that as long as she is making her music. I enjoyed the way you put your poem together.
I agree Lisa. Polly, as I do, knows it’s all masquerade, a fools charade — trying to understand what we cannot.
Well crafted. I saw, felt and heard. Poetry doesn’t do any better than that.
Thanks Charley… 🙂
This poem is full of many truths and captivating lines Rob!
Thanks Carrie! But I deleted and rewrote sumpin’ simple… 🙂
This could be a song. It’s awesome
Thank you JYP! I wrote lyrics for my bands a number of years. My poetry often follows rhythms. I hope you took the time to scroll down and watched Michal perform — mesmerizing, hypnotic, just incredible… I’m in love… 🙂
Lyrical poem and great music.
Happy Sunday
Much love…
Thank you Gillena… 🙂 …much love.
Love the rhythm in this poem, Rob, and the way it ends – “ain’t no discussion.” 🙂

Words and music in perfect harmony. A joy to read and listen to, Rob.
Thank you Keith! Michal is a helluva strong talented — and beautiful women. The strength to break away from Iran, and speak and be her own mind, Amazing! I am in love.
Ain’t No Discussin’ ,,, the end. Loved the steamy hot in here.
Thank you Helen — I have a crush on Michal… 😉
