Regina Puckett
I kept running directly toward the bright light
Thinking once I reached it everything would be alright
But after reaching the end of the tunnel all I found
Was a mountain to climb and more rocky ground
A Bright Light and the End of a Tunnel

Off to See the Wizard
Regina Puckett We only have Dorothy’s word about the witch What if the evil sister had already made the switch Now bad is running around pretending to be good The directions to reach the wizard were totally misunderstood So now we’re stuck in a land filled with flying monkeys And the land is being run by no brain, no heart, red shoe junkies Time Turned Gray
Regina Puckett Hours have a way of limping and dragging by While months and years take off and fly Twenty-one was only just yesterday So why am I now so old and gray Forever Never
Regina Puckett I was looking down when you offered your hand I missed you offer of ‘your wish is my command’ I was a day too late and a moment too premature I had no idea what I was doing only to be deadly sure Life is short but adversities usually last forever My heart is yours but you will have it never Avoiding Toads
Regina Puckett Was Sleeping Beauty really sleeping Maybe it was her way of safekeeping Her heart for true love’s first kiss Just think of all the ugly toads she missed All Questions and No Answers
What if Humpty Dumpty was really pushed Or the Big Bad Wolf was set up to be ambushed Maybe everything we think we know About up is down and above is below The earth is flat and bananas are round And the answers you seek cannot be found Sir Galahad Comes to the Rescue
Regina Puckett Treacherous, unfaithful hearts and double crossing schemes Stole the magic out of fairytales and the beauty out of dreams They gathered all of the wonderment out of the wishing wells And locked them all in the murkiest dungeon in some old rusty cells But Tinkerbelle found Peter Pan and he told the Sir Galahad I bet those poor bastards wish now they hadn't been that bad Maybes and What Ifs
Regina Puckett Often I wonder what I could have done to change that day If only I had a hint you never again would pass this way Would I have lingered by your side and touched your face Maybe I could have convinced God to let me take your place Maybe none of these what ifs would have been needed If only I had known which case I could have pleaded Our Steps Matched
Wandering eyes and a motionless stance Was a strange way to begin this dance So I inhaled deeply and tried to pace My steps to match your subtle grace With each heart to heart and face to face Our souls became adrift through time and space Love’s Sweet Sting
Regina Puckett I accepted the offer with a shy smile and nod But then found myself much too awed To enjoy my moment in that warm ring Of arms and love’s sweet, sharp sting |
