There are many ways to drown to fall but this is different to fall upwards while breathing while wanting to hold my thoughts inside me until I reach the highest point and sing as an angel in burst of outward purge instead of gasping inward to save my own soul knowing you are just a cloud away and smile upon me within broken sky of particles feathering in vermilion wanes Slighting doubt with the thunder of your hunger giving birth to queens with daggers to their breasts because you saved but a reckless fallen minstrel upon sward of silent footfall and gave me rest by dragging me from stampedes of usual demons harboring me within the shadows while you slowly made love to my curiosity as you slowly became taken by it with each breath being just another gust beneath me |

  (smiles) Ooohhhhhhhh...I could feel such joy and bliss behind these words, as in flying with grace! (kiss on cheek) This is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, may true love always lift you and protect you from pain and have you singing to your hearts content in every soft and tender gust! We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a true angel to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

*sigh* sounds like when falling in love...you certainly don't fall down but seem to float up to cloud nine...Well done.. I love it. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

but this is different to fall upwards while breathing while wanting to hold my thoughts inside me ============================ knowing you are just a cloud away and smile upon me within broken sky of particles feathering in vermilion wanes Slighting doubt with the thunder of your hunger ================================== harboring me within the shadows while you slowly made love to my curiosity as you slowly became taken by it with each breath being just another gust beneath me ================================ SEE ... THIS is exactly what I am talking about ... you always find the fresh new way to say whats been said in poetry till its been made cliche' .... HOW many times have I pondered a new way to say "the wind beneath my wings" .... and there YOU are...and there it is... with each breath being just another gust beneath me FRESH ... UNIQUE ... ORIGINAL ... REGINA  Your muse is a treasure... and a pleasure this is more outstanding with every read. very very cool write Poetess R. Hey...Im getting used to poet envy...green goes good with me brown eyes. LOL You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes. |

Regina, I am at a loss...this is fantastic. No cliches', wonderful metaphores...really great work. I DID pick a favorite few lines harboring me within the shadows while you slowly made love to my curiosity as you slowly became taken by it with each breath being just another gust wow. I love this. beneath me |

This is the first time I have read your poetry, Regina...but from now on, I'll make sure to look for it. The whole poem is awesome, but I especially loved these words. until I reach the highest point and sing as an angel in burst of outward purge instead of gasping inward to save my own soul Happy Anniversary!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

The romance shown in your words are very powerful, filling this readers mind with a multitude of visuals. It is difficult to pick just one favorite line for I have many but certainly the ending is the best: "with each breath being just another gust beneath me" Equisite write dear lady ... greatly enjoyed. |
