I revere such instances When by chance of stalling day I can fade into my thoughts I am able to remove the background noise I see the hallway The doors Each with it’s own inviting grace Each a different color Each having a place In my emotions Sometimes I simply wander the hall Indecisive of which to enter Sometimes I run directly through To the one I can hide within There are no locks There is freedom without They are my private libraries of notion There are tables Paper Pens within each room Some by candlelight Others are clearly bright white Others are chained to filtered stains of glass I ponder in these places My own occasions I am content Even in darkness As long as I may take a moment to be forever creative in the slipknot of timeless words.. |

I love the imagery in this piece. So this is where you pen all these wonderful poems. I ponder in these places My own occasions I am content Even in darkness I love those lines. I love to ponder in peace, solitude and darkness. Sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, come downstairs, and listen to the sounds of silence and my thoughts. Very comforting If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

I can't tell you what this poem meant to me personally. Of course, there's no way you could know that and maybe that's one of the most wondeful things about poetry. We don't know how it's going to touch another reader. This one did that. In these words I read my own thoughts, my own feelings and my own joy and sadness. Brought to mind so many things, things I had lost sight of. Things and feelings...I'm not saying it very well. But it's just nice to know there's another person with those same feelings and that way I don't feel I'm the only one. Thank you for posting this. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Regina, I know just how you feel and I can relate to this feeling, for just touching another's heart with words is the greatest gift a poet can get, and yours has touched me deeply always. (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, may you have such a beautiful day! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Regina, I also have many rooms and each has pen and paper. Some are bright, and yes, one has candlelight. You know of that one. Some are hiding places, some are cells, some are simply rooms I use for thinking. I enjoyed this much, my friend. You've a very good imagination. *hugs* Michael Michael Auguste~ |

I can actually picture a house with walls, hallways, doors, rooms, etc. The imaginary matter brought forth by this poem. |
