The First There have been others, But you are the first, Simply taking me Just as I am Into you Openly giving all, As I return love Through a battered soul You sew and stitch Weaving away damage, Soothing ragged scars Beneath tissue, blood And bone Beyond that realm Into the essence Of being. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

You sew and stitch Weaving away damage, Soothing ragged scars Beneath tissue, blood And bone Beyond that realm Into the essence Of being. ..... The way I interpret this, this is fabulous.. Well even in the ways I do not interpret this, this is fabulous...  well, you are indeed a poet on that there's no debate. regards to you Corinne, Sudhir |

Corinne, this is wonderfully written as always. Well crafted poem, beautiful. "To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you," Joy divison |

Sudhir, thank you. Hard to think anyone would want this old battered heart, but grateful that someone does. James, Brian and Mike, thank you much! Corinne |

Corinne~ No matter the tatter. No matter the tear. The weaver with a loving touch can always fix and repair. I love your poem, young lady with 'old heart'.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
