Sky Man Last night you appeared in a dream A Spanish ruin of crumbling stucco, In hidden rooms behind broken shutters Waiting for time without end. Your art on display in ghostly alcoves In puzzle boxes of carved ivory On the walls, abstract murals Adorning you like jewelry. Long fingers strum old guitars With unattached hands plucking, Floating like boats without oars Down darkened eternal halls. Your hair long enough to scoop up Twirling into long shiny braids, Finally no longer imprisoned Pointing to secrets unengaged. Sad that it took death to release you, In doing so you’ve taken me too But now it’s time for you to let go And my subconscious to set you free. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne--You have spoken such a mood with your words...sad and dark and somehow old with time...really liked it! |

Corinne, Very nice. I can see the scene so well in my mind. Ah, death . . . the great equalizer. Letting go can be the hardest at times. Good writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

First you take us on your trips, now into your dreams. All so vivid, and something a little earee too. Nice read. Parker |
