Sleepless drawings mingle in sensual scribbles No cover Windows bare tasting air linen bound gold embossed Tomorrow’s closing lies upon the paper Meaning quivers restless beneath hurry skin when slow moments express the need for Night’s burning nom de plume in black laced breezes I listen to moonlight’s menagerie composing shadows into a dash of howling surrender Would you draw me closer now? Etch the arch of long-waisted bridges With freedom on one side Prose on the other Everybody knows what it feels like to be weightless But I remember this voice that makes my lips read all the words back to yours I am suspended then A sillouhette of body language lingering beyond this shell this spell of diction Shall our twilight immortalize passion before late is over and the paperboy wakes before noon hands turn cursive before the ink dries on today |

Now this is poetry! Regina, you are one of passion's finest poets, I'd pick my favourite lines, stanza, but, all are captivating. It's a keeper~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Time, irretrievable, can be suspended and coaxed to linger awhile and at these tender moments should. Why else are we here? |

Oh, My! The last stanza and this one: Etch the arch of long-waisted bridges ...would be the ones that grabbed me most, but the entire poem is captivating. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

No cover Windows bare tasting air linen bound gold embossed ==================== Meaning quivers restless beneath hurry skin when slow moments express the need for Night's burning nom de plume in black laced breezes I listen to moonlight's menagerie composing shadows into a dash of howling surrender Would you draw me closer now? Etch the arch of long-waisted bridges =================================== But I remember this voice that makes my lips read all the words back to yours I am suspended then A sillouhette of body language lingering beyond this shell this spell of diction ==================================== tis much more to see here than "scribbles" we could start with the imagery that literally drips sensuality...then we could talk about the perfectly placed alliteration, the hints in rhyme that made this flow even smoother, then we could talk about the very cool theme of poetry/writing incorportated in to the metaphor and personification...which is something I love in poetry...poetic references to poetry or poets...(nothing like another poet to inspire our own muses)  and as to this line... for Night's burning *nom de plume* I havent a clue what it says..but Lordy I loooooove the way it sounds. "black laced breezes"? Howling surrender? Have mercy on a moth would ya. LOL Tell me we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love Ill be captivated, Ill hang from your lips Instead of the heartache from above [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (08-06-2002 10:20 AM).] |

Would you draw me closer now? Etch the arch of long-waisted bridges With freedom on one side Prose on the other ================= The whole write is more than scribble forgotten in senseless times measured in the hours of clocktower gears, but the above brings to me visions of memories of suspended canvas in the paint of red over white cradling fingers in deep thought of Southern Bell charm. Very well written as are all of your works and the images mixed with thought provocations give much to the reader to take into lesson. I very much enjoyed and yes....I learned as I always do in all you write. |

Reg, Let me get some paper... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
