Words, and I have a virtual destiny I write them off and I toss them onto paper, because I don't believe in predetermination I'll consider the idea, but I won't bleed for it There are too many other things in my blood to narrow my veins even more with absolutes I think we love what we run from and make love to what we run to Who is a matter of when, and when it's right, damn, it's worth writing about but Words can't cut it Why else would night ever carry the scent of someone we desire but don't have, and why does the rain make empty shapes in a room When the skies pry open a moment and who I belong to is filling my arms I'll say that Fate is a true prophet who has a perfect pocket-watch and he's the only one who has ever nailed the weather Right now, Words fit tomorrow they'll still fit We belong together, but we love each other from a distance I'm not always willing to go down deep into the hard to reach places to find them, so they come to me I'm not always kind and sometimes I close the door, but I'm done running. I'll leave that to the ink. |

Why else would night ever carry the scent of someone we desire but don't have, and why does the rain make empty shapes in a room every word in this was poetic... thoughts so true..and yes, like others have said, you were missed. M |

Regina, And I would expect nothing less of you. Now I can relax as I know you are okay. But how you've piqued my curiosity. Peace...  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

~sigh~ Regina, your words reach deep down into reality's bloodstream, rhythmically travel in poetic pulses to follow a heart that bleeds honesty in every beat. A dynamic, powerful, aching write. Good to read your poetry again. ~Peace to you~ |

Loved your closing lines, as I could relate: "I'm not always kind and sometimes I close the door, but I'm done running. I'll leave that to the ink." (Even my ink limps these days though.) There's been a lot of homecoming poets this past week--it's almost like old times Reg.  |

Words, from the pen of the poet, birthed on the wings of angels, spewed forth from the fires of hell, Given life by all in-between . . . Your words, my friend, touch where nothing else can... jimmy |
