Inside these halls of me are a mélange of things hid from pageantry Small bottles Multi-colored, opaque The liqueur of silence Bull worthy of my own notions Some are message filled collected in the drift of this blue carnival shore I imagine I might sound as a million rhinestones with laughter All the magic solidified smooth within How lovely it feels when day breaks across the fragile of me with you there glistening within the slivers I want to take moments of crystal and pretend them steel bringing me flawed and ready against the mirror Would you empress me then with more than one ounce of energy Enough to shard my shy syllables into powder My vial of ladyship finally becoming the decantation of a woman spilled |

I am thinking that the essence of you should never be spilled, but carried along very carefully, to be tenderly tipped, now and then, and worn gingerly... |

Small bottles Multi-colored, opaque The liqueur of silence ============================ Some are message filled collected in the drift of this blue carnival shore I imagine I might sound as a million rhinestones with laughter All the magic solidified smooth within How lovely it feels when day breaks across the fragile of me with you there glistening within the slivers =================================== Enough to shard my shy syllables into powder My vial of ladyship finally becoming the decantation of a woman spilled ================================== This conjured up so many images for me... antique colored bottles sitting in a sunny window sill casting rainbow reflections... Grandmas curio cabinet full of carnival glass and cherished treasures. Perfume atomizer's in all colors and sizes sitting on lace doilies ... Crystal liquor decanters sparlking in candle light... This is a wonderful poetic melding of imagery, analogy and metaphor masterfully mixed with the emotional explorations and self discoveries. All your poetic "tie ins" of references to glass, color, liquid created a lovely dramatic background for the emote. Very effective writing. The liqueur of silence and how cool is that line...  More excellence from your gifted pen Poetess Regina..but then we've come to expect that. mothyme If all the tear drops went to heaven |

 (smiles) Yay!!! Oh Regina, as I read this, I envisioned a lovely summer carnival with cornhusk dolls and porcelain masks everywhere and there you were, wearing all the essence of a woman like a Mardi Gras mask! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiufl 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..." |

How exquisite and how very YOU this was. However, I do believe that now I finally have a favorite for glass is my favorite thing (I collect antique perfume and egyptain perfume bottles). The image of the morning sun (not that I ever see it  on the bottles came to mind with this one...How lovely it feels when day breaks across the fragile of me with you there glistening within the slivers ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do I have to tell you what came to mind with this one? I don't think so! And have I ever seen it worded this way, never! Enough to shard my shy syllables into powder My vial of ladyship finally becoming the decantation of a woman spilled Lady! You are the best there is at images -without a doubt the best! You honor me with these you know that? Hey where are my pics LOL. I pass this way but once, here's hoping I meet you. |

Regina, I'm stumbling to find the right words to tell you just how profound this poem is, I've read it 3 times already and I can honestly say that this is one of the best free verse poems I've ever read. This is an exquisite depth of writing, I'm moved and in awe of the emotion and imagery. It's a keeper~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
