An Apology In these quiet seconds time slides counterclockwise, to that brief interval spent with you. You once said we weren't meant to meet, me, sailing adrift in ignorance, you, atop a moss-draped tree scolding with Southerly truths. I was a thief, stealing nightly drops - minutes, hours, ebbing your energy to greedily boost mine. I see this now - pooled into an ugly reflection, but nothing was more profound than clinging to you. © 2002 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (01-24-2002 01:08 PM).] |

Corrine, this sounds like you're beating yourself up. Very interesting read and well done poem. I enjoyed it. Cheryl |

Corinne--You do have a talent to say a feeling in just the right way...I would be fluttering all over the page to say what you do by just pointing your finger. Well done! |
