Love Haunts That sound is just the rain in unrelenting refrain tapping icy fingers, breath of fog that lingers. Winds that wail a forlorn tune will not calm anytime soon, that clash of thunder I hear does not instill real fear. And yet, beyond these sounds something else resounds, a cadence stirring memory that chills the very core of me. Is it you? Is it you again? out of your time and realm, you should not have come this is not where you belong. Please do not come to my window with eyes that bore into my soul - the longing of another time when I was yours and you, mine. So long ago, on windswept shores we ran along rock-strewn moors, taboo of the lore of sin oh yes, I loved you then. The world is different now, a pulse you would not know, this can never be so please, my love do not tempt me. © 2000 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 10-31-2000).] |

Hauntingly sad, reminds me of Wuthering Heights.....so very lovely and so very well done!!! Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

"The longing of another time When I was yours and you, mine." Such memories you evoke...some wonderful, some sad, but all with beauty of their own. Wonderful piece. jwesley |

There is a gentle flow to your verse, each line treads softly to the next. Each time I'm amazed. Enjoyed, very much. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
