A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse
You Are Mine
by Gypsy Blue Rose
I was called unclean
sentenced to be stoned to death
at the center of town by the fountain of hate I was shoved to the ground
there I waited for death but you came to my rescue, and although we never met, you told everyone that I was yours and soon we will wed
I still remember
when you knelt and offered me your hand to help me stand
your rebellious dark curls
fell haphazardly on your beautiful face the shade of amber dusk and the scent of sunset your kind eyes met mine
and the world was right, my coward accusers
and my fear fled away
with you by my side I felt loved and safe  |
