Kiss Me You Fool! How dear this potion de amore from the hag who lived down the lane, she spoke of Eros and Psyche and the days of Venus’ reign. She asked what I desired most from my charming intended one, of course it was his lasting kiss, his heart I will finally have won. She called upon the god Lupercus a chill filled the dark, dank room, and with my vial of purple potion chased me out with a witch’s broom. I paid a visit to my heart’s desire, my purchase behind my back, the only one home was his brother the ugly one we called Jack. Luck was not with me on this day, he took the vial from my hand and drank, and when he said “Kiss me, you fool!” you can trust that my heart sank. For just then my dear sweet prince did waltz through the front door the repulsive one was kissing me, and my love was my love no more. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

This will teach you a lesson, you naughty naughty girl! You should rely on your own bewitching powers of allure, rather than some old hag's. I love this poem as much as I love your other works. Nice job, Corinne. |

Yes, yes I must agree. You bewitching allure is more powerfull than any potion could implore. Kiss me you fool.  Parker... |

I love it...  HUGS The grape passes through the press to yield wine. Your life must pass through the press of passion and pain to yield the wine of wisdom.. |

This place needs an email option, I always get caught trying to flirt with you. Here goes anyway. From where do you see the stars in your sky. If you look into the sky tonight, and then close your eye's very very light I'll send a kiss, up to the great abyss and Aurora's Lights will steer it right and if you wait just a little bit it'll find your lips for a gentle kiss. Parker ... the shameless flirt. If it passes through a thunderstorm, it'll be a very wet smacker. |

Well I could but I don't know if I should A nice potion your wrote Corinne Here you two I have a poem I wrote for a dear friend of mine about a year ago or so, perhaps you try this Imagine There is a breeze across the sea Rather swift, short ready to flee You look upon the stars that filling the firmament above You try to figure, which on he is looking at my dove Your inner soul is shaking with fear Yes he knows how much you love him my dear Your eyes cast on a flickering ball Imagine that this the one that is his all Send your love you keep inside Hoping his heart receives the love open wide Wondering if he does know Your loving feeling will reach him and it will show Show what longing you endure Show him that you’re very sure Believe when I say this, I have been there once Hoping, that I had a similar chance Believe when I say, I called her name In busy streets without I ever felt any shame Believe when I say, that he will feel The lonely star, for him the star will be real Not only know, ……feel it in your breast He will hear your voice calling beyond the waving crest I know it works. I have was there, long time since has gone by So call out his name, don’t be shy. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Smiling...reminds me of "Love Potion Number Nine"...although this is funny in parts, it also serves as a reminder we can't play with/fool love and should never try |

Parker, what a sweet, sweet poem, thank you! I think I caught that kiss in a storm, leaving me feeling safe and warm... Helmut, that piece speaks to me and I believe in this sort of mystery. Thank you, also, Angel, Marge and Hoot! Corinne |

ahhh, but this prince was only fool in that I'd not yet proved the love I felt for you, sweet lass - the strength with which you'd moved my heart to see its rightful home, a place of grace and peace; and so, it had, gladly revoked each other graceless lease. So, know, my sweet, you've long since won the heart of this poor fool - a heart that sees that yours is not a heart my brother rules. But, just in case, I asked the hag to wield her magic art upon some other neighbor lass who might then win Jack's heart. To my surprise she answered, "No! No need for such device. For I am tenant in Jack's heart and he has conquered mine." © RAM 3/30/00 |

Exellent, magical story here! But ya know, maybe lil ol Jack is in the long run better than that handsome prince..it's been known to happen. Great work. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |
