He laid the phone down Nervously Shaking In profusely sweating quakes Hating himself 23 years of Drug enforcement He’d made it unscathed Until the day Greed set in Pride was replaced He’d lost his youth His wife...his home From his dedication to duty Drunk and guttered In depression “Why not help yourself To a little deal on the side” The beast of inferiority Grumbled inside Unbeknownst to him The Latino Drug Lord Edwardo Escabria Knew his weak attempts, Settling the score Outsmarted by a larger serpent Than himself Caught...mysteriously redirecting A shipment...Edwardo had tracked The web address Directly to his office He sat in heaves of dry gut Recalling the moment Edwardo and his machine men Cornered him at his own desk How he’d closed his eyes Saying good-by With the metal shoved In his mouth His spine slid farther south By Miracle of God Suzette’s file lay open Edwardo eyed words Confidential Intrigued at the face Staring back from the page “Mmmmm who’s this filly?” The metal removed he was allowed To speak “She’s one of us” “No...she is exquisite! Much More than you.. my pathetic Warren” With his spine completely gone He’d begun to ramble, spit and stutter “Just do it...what are you waitin’ for? I’m a ghost...I’m already dead. So pull the trigger! I always wanted to go at home This damn office is my home!! He screamed in desperation “Oh no...I have a new plan As he picked up the photo Of Warren’s Daughter She doesn’t look like you. I wonder how she would love to Ride my prized steed?” Warren had bled through his thoughts He’d not figured the grotesque mind He was shocked at his mental decline Unwilling to entertain the excursion Of Edwardo’s sickness..His perversions NO-Don’t go there Edwardo! Name it...anything I swear I’ll deliver! “Deliver me Suzette” Nonchalantly he’d rolled into play. He’d went from one shock to another “What? She...she is.. very incorruptible! He’d rolled his eyes in broader statement. “Delicious then! Her delivery Will be Overnight, No?” You have...24 hours For me to play with my new toy. Or your baby will be a china doll. Fragile is she?”.... Warren raced to the next scene In his mind play..of flooding gall How he’d fled the building Knowing..of Suzette’s arrival She’d be returning from mission Any second on the midnight train He’d sped to the station Harrowing down the steps Unbelieving of his own agility Unbelieving of the coincidence Of the replay from 3 years ago When he’d heard muffled sounds Just around the curve of the tunnel Where she’d been ambushed By a known criminal Managing to overpower her He’d Duct taped and bladed her blouse Branding her hand in his serial signature Ironic...how he delivered her From one mad man Just to deliver to another. /pip/Forum51/HTML/002769.html~1~ /pip/Forum51/HTML/002885.html ~2~ /pip/Forum51/HTML/002959.html~3~ [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 11-07-2001).] |

(sigh) So ironic indeed! My heart cries out to this poor man and the pain he feels for spending much of his manhood in the business and regretting it and now having to settle the score for Suzette's love. (sad sigh) BRAVO!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! MORE, MORE, I CAN'T WAIT!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Building this very well, you are, indeed... if you publish more over the weekend, you'd better let me know so I can catch up come Monday... |

Dear Regina, where does this imagination of yours come from, I am sure soon you will be producing a book which will be a best seller indeed. Really great work, but I must say I am missing your poetry a little. Keep penning Regina, look forward to the next read. Sincerely Rick |
