About Me

" .. ..You look, you listen Is it I that you see? Come closer, delve deeper, inside you may find the true me. More than mere flesh and bones;I too bleed and experience pain. Go beyond my big brown eyes,only then will my soul be your gain.(c) ~Rose Bruno Bailey I am...A poet, deep and philosophical;I am...A dancer, lyrical and graceful; I am...An artist, creative and colorful;I am...An actress, dramatic and photogenic;I am...A woman, sensual and feminine;I am...A humanitariun,unselfish and giving;I am...A survivor,wounded and strong;I am human...I am me.Gypsy RoseDo not be beguiled with images and facades; I am not really what I appear to be. I am a token free spirit, a modern day gypsy; vagabond of the free world, toting my belongings my pen, paper and soul, to each new destination. Curiously roaming, filtering to the ends of the earth, seeking my long lost fortune. I am a new age bohemian, metaphorically burning my bra; in theory, calling out to liberty, resolutions of the damned. Refusing to be sentenced to a lifetime of repression, trappings of societys system. A reincarnated escape hippie, enlisted yet not a member; hypothetically gone awol. Walking barefoot and unrestrained, for my pain is worth my goal. Do not be fooled, not unlike myself, my prize is not what it seems to be. All that glitters at the end of the rainbow, does not always glisten from gold. The pot may be shiny and new wrapped in flaxen parchment, but may be hollow inside. The treasure I wish for is more elusive than wealth, more precious than jewels, more perfect than pearls , has been sought for centuries by people before my lifetime. I continue searching like many before me, my capital cache is absolute and priceless. The cost cannot be measured by mere money and materialism.
