Broad day surrounds me in variants of quiet change My muse suggests we move to far reaches of depth I resist for a moment then sleep with her drawn inward while the mind rampantly steals a breathing death and I am one the oil in lamp of gone the key in rusted lock the white returned in laceless energy all is solemn prose until a hand reaches me and pulls me from the crash I dash to arms length of whisper and thank the Gods for sanctity but first I must love myself so I pit my gifts together in offering of time spell and realize there isn’t enough Woe is the meter of empty-handed and I cry to spare the weight of my tears palms upward in honesty bracing for the face of disappointment when a smile raises my brow and I swim upwards gasping with newfound words flowing as mind wine you are the holder of the cup |

Your writing reminds me somewhat of SpitFires...different, but I think you're both looking at the same light, from the same hill - and that's a high compliment I give, my friend. I do so enjoy reading you. jwesley |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, this had me crying a little towards the end until finally she got all she wanted, someone to care and love dearly! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, may you forever share a lifetime of happiness with the one your heart desires and loves! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

and did you want wine or java, to wake the muse, or to lull her into a sense of well, the deeper for our thoughts to dwell? Darn girl...but I do like your style! |

A wonderful tribute to your muse Regina ... beautifully composed. Leaves me with a wonderful feeling of hope and inspiration that the words do, indeed ... come to us in such a fashion. Really enjoyed this! Best wishes, /Kit |

if only people would know that the "I" was "you". . . wonderfully done Regina. . . a look inside. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

rwood......you give us a beautiful image, in general. The last line is especially lovely. But I wonder, oh, one's muse is so etheral that it seems a pity to adopt a usage and tone that tends to abbreviate the description. For example, "..the oil in lamp of gone..." begs for more, not less. It is the wispy clouds, that seem to go on for ever. I think that with this subject matter you have to either be painfully brief, like a water drop that glistens, or emulate to the fullest, like a complete, drenching rainshower...or the virga that descends from it. I think that you have tried to do both. Again, quite lovely, even more so for its potential. I mean no offense. I hope none taken. Bob |
