If my eyes were blue, I’d want them to behold the atmosphere that surrounds our world... I’d own the wolfen stare of our oneness, for life If my skin was olive-hued, I’d gather Carribean sun spears, and tattoo your breath on mocha seams All starless frigid nights, would burst into beaded respire If my hair was raven, it would carry the fragrance of tears and trail long into laurel wood dreams The ribbons of ghost birch, would tie you to me If my body was curvaceous, I’d be free of thin-grained fears My goddess would fill the air of supple Your paint would rest, unused...unnecessary And if I, could birth a celestial course that would make life more than a predetermined shore my genes would teem with vying traits Yet, I remain cat-eyed, paper white, red-wild, somewhat...pre-Raphaelite until ashes waste what glory I might taste... what genesis I might feign in your fantasies Your mate a life-sized delineation, tenacious as a snowflake in hades "Low sit I down at my Lady's feet Gazing through her wild eyes Smiling to think how my love will fleet When their starlike beauty dies."

Sy: I know...I get up with the worms. You are early eyes with eagle wings to me. Thank you  Sunnyone: You're so very good to me. What I offer seems meager toward your constancy. Just know that I grow from your acceptance. K: Always admirable of other's own...thank you dear lady. Love, Reg |

"If my eyes were blue, I’d want them to behold the atmosphere that surrounds our world... I’d own the wolfen stare of our oneness, for life" From these opening words on... you pen each stanza with perfection and beauty. Thank you for sharing this lovely with us today Regina. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Your talent, your gift, it leaves me wide-eyed and breathless. This was amazing. btw, I've always loved red hair! Married me a red head  Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Now you realize you could be all those things with contacts, make-up, hair dye, etc. but then at the end of the day, this is the part that would be missed most... a life-sized delineation, tenacious as a snowflake in hades  School suits you! |

Nancy: Your poetic kindness always glows me. HugginStuff. Susan: You inspire me. Thanks for appreciating another rousse, and for your especially kind reply. Dixie: So are you sister...can't help but admire. Jo: Thank you for reading, for being so encouraging, and for finding me real. Many thanks indeed. Susan C: I love that word...thank you so much. Mysteria: It's hard to resist the cosmetic thang...but I'm not good at any of it. I always end up looking like a drag queen. Hehe...well 50 lbs of brain juice tightens everything up! But I feel like a B-52 landing when I make it to class. Big thank you smiles. Martie: A wonderful compliment, coming from you dear poetess. Marge: I love your huglets. You're irresistible. Thank you James: So very many...but it's so good to see you here. Thank you hugs. Love, Reg |

================== tenacious as a snowflake in hades ================== So you... Reg, you know how to put a smile on my face. I like everything about this. Until you're back again I'll enjoy this.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

OMG...Spectacular! Loved every single line, I'm going to keep it. Thank you! Maree Well I see you doing, What I try to do for me, With the words from a poet, And a voice from a choir, And a melody, nothing else matters. ~Stevie Nicks |
