Portrait of a Heart Heart untarnished by misuse Genius son of common man His father failed to understand And broke him with abuse Now he’s grown, touch of mystery Swaying over hearts, like a rock song Carved of oiled iron wood strong Diving in his cool pool of creativity Unbound but lacks freedom to be Plethora of purity in his soul Sovereign of that which he controls But for damage, could be anything Govern, teach, paint, or sing His light is veiled in darkness Lonely lover comes, dream’s kiss Flying on threadbare carpet of magic Always leaves before love is tragic Tall as California redwood trees, Rain that brings me to my knees Kiss like a prince shakes me Kiss that always awakens me Trying to hold on, like fireflies Chasing after rare butterflies Capturing the rainbow’s end In the leprechaun land of pretend We will say we knew him when Of course no one will believe us When goodness and genius Rewarded, are in style once again 9/3 3:15 a.m. (c) 1999 Corinne Bailey |
