Richard’s Plight Richard reappears, as summer fades, rain fills him with sensations of loss, a falling away of masked charades, a reckoning of wintry truths. In times like this, Richard comes calling, in search of his most enduring friend, for in his life, there is a longing, a connection that is left wanting. For him, only an unkind mistress can capture his lasting affections, love, affected as a cruel caress, this nourishes Richard’s interest. In the season of lengthening nights, his predicament becomes too clear, his demeanor transforms, to invite ideas of our possibilities. I assert that I am not his kind, too dull and steady for his liking, but the lines are sometimes ill-defined, tangled in orbit of what might be. © 2001 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 11-30-2001).] |

I do enjoy this. Richard's soggy summer past, his Love's not meant to last a ship on which he's lashed to mast assures from it he fasts. "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

The dull and steady ones can undergo fantastic metamorphyses under the influence of the right influences...why do i have the feeling that may happen to you, Corinne lass?  |

Outstanding, Corinne. Some souls are destined to forever fight the elements of life, and sail a different ship. |

kind of reminds me of E.A. Robinson's look into the minds of people with poems like "Richard Cory". . . great job Cor, you look with those same eyes it seems. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
