Why white? Drag me away from it please! I am no soldier of virginity Paint me up and pretty me like some china doll so pale so very pale except for my thoughts I’m not afraid of your sun. White is for magnolias on slow cricket eves blooming wide and waxy Heavy like the moon’s belly full of lovers wishing on Venus for more White is for those pearls The ones that wrap tight round l'il ladies that find no time to loosen the rest of their pleasure Reminds me of swans Gives me reason to drift but not to run and jump I need skin thoroughbred sin and sugar the Southern kind with a l'il salt and lime off white sands under dark bay skies [This message has been edited by rwood (05-22-2002 07:05 AM).] |

Heavy like the moon's belly full of lovers wishing on Venus for more =========================== only you could come up with that image so awesome and lovely in its intensity. No..no white...no vanilla...unless of course its white chocolate with RASPBERRY   How long can a girl be haunted by you ... |

 (smiles) WOW!!! Oh my gosh, I love it, yes, yes, may true love reflect more than just the color white in your heart and bring a rainbow of passion to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

ms regina, inspiring... enjoyed the pure and the hidden of your work makes me think of a contrast to this view do you like the scent of dark leather when it is wicked fresh and presses to the seams of white like night to day when it spoils and soils indiscreetly and makes visible the under edges of pure then colors them scarlet do you feel the temptation of perhaps we can be bad and love the residue of sin that drips from our tarnish do the eyes of wolf soot seduce you til your garment's shimmer is far less to the mind then the morning panting howls? does your caution gray in my whiteless shadows?

Excellent! I really liked this one a lot. It still breathes soft and warm, but seems... stronger than some of your others (with the exception of the last one i commented on, i think... that's my fave of yours so far). quote:i LOVE this. twisting things around is not only fun, but also provides for rumination. Again, Excellent. One minor thing - can you change "lil" to "l'il"? looks funny. Chris |

Love and hugs. Dark: do you feel the temptation of perhaps we can be bad and love the residue of sin that drips from our tarnish THAT is a tall glass of clear liquid want. YES! You know..you flow right down my spine and end up somewhere between my heart and my head.~wink* Can I ride with you a while and press to those seams? I promise I will scream for more. Chris: Fixed that..my slang thang ain't workin'..hehe. Thanks poet for being so uplifting to me and my verse. I'm glad you picked that stanza out..I liked it too. Sincerely, Reg |

Red, yes, not white. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Christopher: Hmmm..I suppose the distinction of slang lends a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the norm of writing. I enjoy the way it sounds..and savor it as the diction of my roots. The "stuff" I speak when angry or impassioned~wink* I honestly appreciate your suggestions. And you'll see more thangs slangin' about in my poetry..please do tell me what you see. Sincerely, Reg |
