Just when I think It’s more than I can bear Another endless day In The Golden State You come along Ferrying love Without doubt Making it Damned hard To stay scared Instead I find Our private smile. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne... Some works are so great that they stand alone with out the need of a title. This, my friend, is one of those! Wonderful last line..... I have but one goal in life....... Not to have but 1 goal in life!! !~~ Sunny ~~! |

Yanno, endless days are not half as bad as endless nights (spent alone). This poem brought forth so many images of new love meeting desperation. But the love isn't new, is it? So complex, this poem. |

These short poems, I know they're secret messages, this ones about lips. Sweet red ripe lips, with bright whites. For big sweet smiles and thats what this title should be.. sweet smiles..... or as an alternate, Private Smiles... its not what you think or is it. Parker....  I know i'm losing it again. |

Sunny1, thank you, you are very kind. LongJohn, it's about long distance love, something a lot of folks in this room can probably relate to (at one time or another). That separation does lead to feelings of desperation, but knowing that there is hope of joining bringing on that smile that two share. Park, oh, Park. Where is Sigmund when you need him most! Thanks, Martie, I like that image too, used it once before in a poem about a river...Stealing from my own stuff! ha! Corinne |

Thank you, Sudhir, Spitfire, Mark, Nate and Salooma. Spitfire, always enjoy your work, too. Siggy, "vemale examinations" eh, sounds as though you've had a lot of practice in that area! Gee, all this time I thought you were a head doc! Corinne |
