Oh, how the writing is not on the wall at the Bella ball when all are shining moments The hour strikes me variegated and wisped straight from the floor All things feel knocked from beneath me and shoes seem too large to walk in I lose my senses I dream wild things are after me I can’t run anymore This clock lies There is more time Lest I am mad and this wake is nigh to feathers flying inside the house of crows When you touch I am drawn into the wood grain of your dance Where your mind is the most mesmerizing of all things I am chanced to brush against Making all of the word laces worth tying in timeless knots regardless of how many times I’ve heard them |

The hour strikes me variegated and wisped straight from the floor =========================== When you touch I am drawn into the wood grain of your dance Where your mind is the most mesmerizing of all things I am chanced to brush against Making all of the word laces worth tying in timeless knots regardless of how many times I've heard them ============================= Trust me....you wont hear the word cliche used around your work ( JUST like flaccid wont be either) For though you may have heard the words many times before...when you turn them into poetry...you offer us a new view... like this....... variegated and wisped the word laces worth tying in timeless knots cliche? No...pure Reggie poetry and thats a very very cool thing Now for me some words come easy |

Have I ever told you how much I adore your writing, Lady? I'm telling you know. Enjoyed this and its feel. I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |

"Where your mind is the most mesmerizing of all things I am chanced to brush against Making all of the word laces worth tying in timeless knots regardless of how many times I’ve heard them" BRAVO!!! Oh Regina, this is excellent, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, it seems that when we demand for something our reactions can always feel like cliches yet there is always that part for thought and forgiveness too! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have suhc 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..." |

When you touch I am drawn into the wood grain of your dance Where your mind is the most mesmerizing of all things I am chanced to brush against Making all of the word laces worth tying in timeless knots regardless of how many times I’ve heard them ------------------------------ Dang girlie you are SO good!!

You write like Cinderella you know, it's all so charming and true the way your words waltz across the page. Especially loved the last couple lines to this. There is always another dance to dance if we can still hear the music playing. It's good to read you Regina~ |

The hour strikes me variegated and wisped straight from the floor ******** There is more time Lest I am mad and this wake is nigh to feathers flying inside the house of crows ******** Both of these are PERFECT examples of why you are in that elite class that I told you about. If these lines don't get someone to pause and reflect a bit before moving on, then they are missing out on a chest of gold and pearls. Then of course ... there are these examples: When you touch I am drawn into the wood grain of your dance ******** Has to be red oak for sure!! Where your mind is the most mesmerizing of all things I am chanced to brush against Making all of the word laces worth tying in timeless knots regardless of how many times I’ve heard them ******** To finish with some of the most intimate of lines (communication) just wraps it beautifully and completes the thoughts to what it takes to hear, feel, taste, and see, all without touching but in heart and soul. Beautiful writing and another reason why you teach every time you write. Okay, enough "ramble" for now. Just take it that I liked it and NO, "I" didn't forget to breathe. |
