Stem songs wiring high into heaven realms spilling Fair blushing drink of day How, to bind favor unto forever to taste as sinful berries to blend as quenching liquid ripening heavy horizons polishing deep the currants of time Glass this swallow, still grasping flavor keeping secret bouquets sharing honey made rare to taste Gloss this scarlet change long into you Vine dangling ecstasy bare Pour for me, your danger of never same, Dionysus My Dionysus rain wild your plummets of crystalline

The currants of time! That's awesome! And so's this very wine-infused poem! These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |

Well there you are!! I thought I might find you at the "oxygen" bar but instead you are roaming around the vineyard indulging in the passions of fruit. Such beauty you add to the vines in this remarkable piece. Your phrasing and line breaks in this piece are nothing short of superb. You have done well in both honoring the poet that inspired you and in creating an inspirational one yourself. Well done and very much enjoyed as always. Now YOU see why I call your pen MAGICAL. Make sure you recognize love as the gift it is and not a need that is out of focus |

How, to bind favor unto forever to taste as sinful berries to blend as quenching liquid ripening heavy horizons polishing deep the currants of time =========================== Gloss this scarlet change long into you Vine dangling ecstasy bare Pour for me, your danger of never same, Dionysus My Dionysus rain wild your plummets of crystalline ============================= My oh my....you worked this metaphor till it was poetic perfection. Very very cool... love the imagery and analogy blending of this Reggie...was like sipping fine wine and how cool is this line: How, to bind favor unto forever how indeed And all of this is made a sweeter brew when inpsired by another poets words... ya did his "plummets of crystalline" justice. Who knew a glow bug could write so well. LOL When your own emptiness is all thats getting through, |

hmmmmmmm. . . soft and subtle, with ever-changing undertones. . . a waftfulness that plays with the mind and sends it dreaming. . . fruity, but yet, tasteful. . . a very bold yet caressing red. . . one that coats the palette with many flavors and memories. . . and the aftertaste. . . softer yet, leaving behind a memory. . . hmmm. . . this was a very good year. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Well, you know what I am thinking? I am thinking I could become your editor and we could make some serious cash Reggie. Talk to that husband of yours and I say we publish you, and if I can't be your editor, may I then be your first customer? This was simply fanstastic writing, and I wish it were bound into a book I could hold. Nothing means more to me than faith, |
