BareFoot In The Rain Oh disdain Oh disdain, you spatter tears upon my day I sat long and waited, you taunt at me, of coming fray, Forest nymph, forest nymph, I’ve come to watch you dance, Oh rain, Oh rain, play the song again, for her prancing trance, Nymph of light, lilac and white, I feast upon thy sight, Please dance again, in laden rain, and lift my melancholy blight You dance for me, b’neath the willow trees, this night, Passionate light, naked in silken rain dress, in the sparking lights Watcher and lover, awaiting the wooing rite, lustily a fire barefoot in the rain, lovers in the green, silver bodies of the silken mire. Tonight the rain does not tire. James Parker Haley Mar 20, 2000 |

and may I walk barefoot in that poetic mind of yours.  the vocab, language and poetic phrasing in this is excellent P-man... as is the cadence and inner ryhme laced thru it.... the imagery is mystic in its vision and wonderfully done the repetative theme and certain phrases made this a clever and creative work... and the best thing about reposts is getting to put old ones in me library  you speak to me in riddles |

much like this part.... =========================================== You dance for me, b’neath the willow trees, this night, Passionate light, naked in silken rain dress, in the sparking lights Watcher and lover, awaiting the wooing rite, lustily a fire barefoot in the rain, lovers in the green, silver bodies of the silken mire. Tonight the rain does not tire. ========================================== |
