Behind my eyes in sleep stare so many pictures flash and keep me spinning My day drop for boxed thoughts and deposits of crumpled up stolen magazine pages Maybe Cosmo who knows I speak a silent language woven in day lingo that sounds pretty and washes up real nice like a polyester blend I lay out the patterns and sew lucky shapes of all the tiny parts I feel, that make me real, that cover up all the places I don’t want exposed or do Give me a thread of belief and let me spin trust like steel Wind me up and ravage me with faith and I could break in about a thousand years I want you to see me all dressed up in nothing but a slipknot of us unwind me but never let me be put in with like colors |

  (smiles) WOW!!! You never cease to amaze me, sweet friend, I just love the way you depict and compare emotions, like being a color that looks similar to another color just doesn't fit, but standing out with a contrasting color in the rainbow of love and trust! (kiss on cheek) May you and your lovs scrapbook always be filled with magazine covers of memories in print, sweet friend, I love it, 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..." |

Regina I love the way you used this metaphor of color and cloth to show your poetic intent. |

between you and lauren today, i am finding hope that poetry's not really dead! quote:i can associate and wonder at a phrase like this... it's a fine summation of life in general, and works marvellously as a continuation of the metaphor you were driving for, if only as a contrast to the softer tones of polyester. as always, soft and strong, and as always, i love it.
