Wisdom

In the presence of a young and mysterious, attractive fortune-teller I had my\nfuture laid out before me in detailed descriptions\nThe wind was howling outside, but I felt safe and warm — on this night\nHer emerald eyes shone directly through me when she said:\n«When I put down the tarot cards, I look at your desires, wishes and an urge\nfor acceptance.»\nThe interior of her small compartment seemed to melt into the density of the air\nI couldn’t help staring into those penetrating eyes\nShe took my hand in her own and spoke into the air:\n«When I read into the palm of your hand, I see a spark of desire, submission,\nchaos and intolerance.»\nI vanished in the gypsy woman’s hazel green eyes… couldn’t resist to let her\nhave my inner self\nThe eroticism of it all is still a mystery to me\nShe had a sad look upon her beautiful face as she whispered to me:\n«When I gaze into the crystal ball, I see your secret desires, greed,\nperfect wisdom, lust and degradation —\nWhen I look into the crystal ball.»
