She hated sleep Where her realities Slipped upon her Nightmares were a breeze Compared to her past With the glass in hand She knew of torture The “Damned if you do Damned if you don’t” With each and every swallow Knowing how the bourbon Would send her into a pillow fight But without it The pain swelled up As a missing limb She could still feel..aching She loaded her weapon Spinning it Caressing it As a pet Sliding it under The empty side of the rarely occupied space She slipped into reverie Relaxing in lull Of her music box Given by her father How people would find Her a mutated species Of female In her fondness Of a little girl keepsake Right next to her cuffs And her favorite blade She closed her lids Dancing as the ballerina On ice of silver ponds Only she took the heads off The sleep thieves With each slippered pirouette The phone rings Slamming her into current time She answered hatefully To the voice of rotten syrup “Caught you in your nighty My violent Goddess?” “You’d better have a reason For your sleaziness at this hour” She slid in whiskied sleep of tongue “You have to return To the Caribbean. Seems we just Discovered a new middle man. We loose him If we rush the bust How would you love the Headline: Femme Fatale Brings Drug Lords To Their Knees: my sweet?” “Have my ticket ready... If you put me in coach I’ll carve your throat” Slamming the phone down And showering awake Cursing Warren Cursing her fog The stranger in her mirror

 (smiles) OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! It's part soap-opera, part James-Bondesque! (smiles) I love it! You always portray such various emotions so descriptively and beautifully in your poems; I LOVE IT!!! (smiles) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I am loving this story, it's so cool. Glad you posted another episode, cause I've been wondering how it's going to turn out. Now I will wait patiently for episode four. (well, I'll try to be patient....like a kid at Christmas!!! lol. ) “Have my ticket ready... If you put me in coach I’ll carve your throat” For some reason, those lines really give me the essence of her. (and boy, would I like to say those lines to my boss, who always puts me in coach!!  )If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Defining, and expanding with each line. You give us deeper revelation into your character. You give "prose" a good name! Willie B |
