I travel alone Winding in and around faces I mirror their brogue And roll it across my own tongue Tasting the sound of their slang I wear gloves So no one sees the scars Of a far off nightmare Where my foe burnt his signature Into the back of my hand They think me Ladylike If they only knew of the blade I carry in my stocking case Today I am blonde Tomorrow Brunette Maybe by sunset I’ll be red My body aches for justice Though I am programmed To never get personally involved My thoughts turned homicidal Thigh bruised and eager From jumping fences On the so-called farmland Of chemical maniacs The rats of foreign wealth Measuring up on fanciful dreams Paying low wages to the streams Of mal-practiced chemists I’ll find them a home When last he grabbed my hair And pulled me to his nasty kiss He thought himself King And I.. just another of his Drug pawned Kittens...meowing for his powdered milk The tape is safe within my underlings Where he whispered to me How he wanted to take me To see his steed How he would give me anything As his business was always pleasure Sick of his thick breath Swirled with thoughts of hundreds Of little ones dying from a bad batch Luckily for me His wife Rolls Royced in Just before I separated his heart Giving me a chance to catch The next train |

Well....I'll have to come back to this one and read it again, because I didn't understand all of it. But you impressed me here, Regina. Well done.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

Cool write Regina. You really got inside the character of a spy with this. I really like it If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

It doesn't seem right to say I enjoyed reading your painful words, but you have written a powerful piece of poetry, right down to the nitty gritty. If I had written this and confronted my skeletons, I could see myself as one of those women wrestlers ready to take on anyone who got in my way.

Regina, Wow, a weaver of intrigue as well. Intense poem, I liked this. But I'm a sucker for spy stories. |

Regina the spy, I like it, changing a face for each day of the week, undercover with no commitment, ridding the trash. A great imagination indeed, with your penning we may see a novel soon. Great work Regina, enjoyed. Sincerely Rick Nice to have you at passions. |

Stepping into the lives that we see others live is not an easy task, but you do it well and you pen it as if you were doing so from current minutes in your life, but then again, if you were roll-playing then it only makes sense that the minutes would have been current. A very detailed and intrigal piece of creation you have given us today. I muched enjoyed it and especially the way it carried the thoughts as they race through. |
