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

I love this performance, and it’s a street busk, makes it even cooler — just AMAZING!
Man, you wanna talk about soul — WOW! Absolutely transcendent.

Aren’t Linseys spicy?

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…

Love the rhythm in this poem, Rob, and the way it ends – “ain’t no discussion.”
Thank you Sunra…
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…
So many lines to love in this wonderful piece. I especially love this one “there is such fire in michal’s stroke she turns their longing heart to smoke”. Gorgeous writing as always
Thank you Susie…
I was right there, feeling it all! Fabulous poem, Rob.
Thank you so much Sara…
