Time has nearly eclipsed you, resembling a nova your once brilliant cast now a clouded view. It was not always so, safe within the hunter’s sword the essence of all love was yours alone to bestow. Was it goddess earth, or moon? She took back your every gift laced with hidden greed, forever to run from the scorpion. Still, you flicker, fixed in space when wintry nighttime skies coax clarity to clouds, she is lost in your embrace. © 2000 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 12-20-2000).] |

Corinne~ this is such a beautiful poem......I just love........ "Was it goddess earth, or moon? She took back your every gift laced with hidden greed, forever, you run from the scorpion." Makes me want to run outside and look up at the heavenly night sky -SEA |

Ah, the Goddess Saga, writes with cryptic word... where is a cypher machine when you need one... The sky is so alive with mystery. Nice to see your words sweet poet. Park |

Wonderful... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

woww Corinne a beautifully penned poem, such tender and wonderful thoughts. "In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor" Joy division |
