Three Gold Blossoms I drink steaming cups of you to paint scars, characters in tongues serve as your bowed mistress you whisper night blossomed hints of floral-red regret, precious beads slow to your tranquil rhythms taking tea in moments, drunk whole until you are but leaf dust, fine bone powder in cupped hands, blown into soil, planted by sliver moon, near sage and jasmine, I wait for three gold blossoms © 2003 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (03-05-2003 07:50 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Corinne, this is sooooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I too have felt moments of sadness but then I hang onto the warmth of that feeling that all can come true and never wither and sometimes it too is like potpourri in my living room! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have my vote, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

How brilliant, to make it a sliver moon... how oriental, how delicate... how Corinne... absolutely beautiful, and one for the book indeed... |

taking tea in moments, drunk whole until you are but leaf dust, fine bone powder in cupped hands, just had to come back..and tell you this imagery..these lines...strike me as both beautiful...and powerful... indeed... all one can do not to write around that verse a half a dozen different poems.... good stuff here... |
