There is something indescribable on this night bound train of thought Filigree dreams billow in on velvet temper Dark clouds appear ominous to those with only narrow eyes I am refined in clattering chains of rain peppering tin, bringing me rhythm Thunder embosses me into the mystique Of all things drowning my mind Tomorrow seems to exasperate me the most This jewel beats within me timeless swinging as if an amulet of moments but only a sapphire soldered likeness as blue as an evening, lanced open bleeding forth comforting awareness that I still believe in my own essence of being enough to ask for one more day the same way as this one began |

Regina "as blue as an evening, lanced open" Your words always take me and make me wish that I could as well as you do. Always a pleasure to read the poetry of you. |

each morning is new, almost sacred. A new day, a new chance... and may each of yours be just as beautiful as the words of this. Reading your poetry is a new experience, each time. Always something so unique, so you... and you is a beautiful thing dear somy~ Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

Filigree dreams billow in on velvet temper Dark clouds appear ominous to those with only narrow eyes I am refined in clattering chains of rain peppering tin, bringing me rhythm Thunder embosses me into the mystique ======================================= This jewel beats within me timeless swinging as if an amulet of moments but only a sapphire soldered likeness as blue as an evening, lanced open ===================================== "Filigree" is the perfect word to describe your poetry... love the unigue imagery and metaphor you wrote to poetic perfection in this... also the hint of rhyme and rhythm to create the feel of the rain and your mood. but only a sapphire soldered likeness as blue as an evening, lanced open now how cool is that line and image. uniquely you. well done poetess Reggie. mothyme How she loves me, I dont understand |

Reg, Sapphires are my favorite... =================== This jewel beats within me timeless swinging as if an amulet of moments but only a sapphire soldered likeness as blue as an evening, lanced open bleeding forth comforting awareness that I still believe in my own essence of being enough to ask for one more day the same way as this one began ========================== I like them almost as much as this! Bless you for what you do to me. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
