~The Dragon Flies' Lair Thread XI~

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

In Dream



Black and enduring separation
I share equally with you.
Why weep? Give me your hand,
Promise me you will come again.
You and I are like high mountains
and we can't move closer.
Just send me word,
At midnight sometime through the stars.

Morning Little Diva!!

I'll shop around for a cleaning poem. I'm sure I have written on in the past.

Thanks for stopping by The Lair.

Dreams

Why are dreams done in the dark?
Is their substance gossamer?
Can they not compete with rainbows,
Iridescent wings that shimmer"

What form do dreamshape shadows,
Take when fallen on the ground?
Can you learn of fancy creatures?
Is there meaning to be found?

Dreams do not compete with sunshine,
Garish in the light of day,
They are much more subtle tidings,
Gentle in a stubborn way.

Giving guidance with a yearning,
A spider’s thread that pulls us on,
Leading us through darkened mazes,
Til our aspiration’s gone.

Dreams are all we have to live for,
All the hope that life can give,
Yearnings bound into a compass,
Seek the way, and choose to live.

Ode to Dust

Dust, you are disgusting!
I move you from
here to there....
I find you are everywhere!
On my knick-knacks....
on my "puter", on the floor,
above the door...
my mirrors reflect your
presence there
Like I said, you're everywhere!

Should company come
I always request
they sign my
dusty guest book
or, if they wish
a table top,
the tv screen...
now that is neat!

Each day I dust
my monitor, I need
to watch the poets play!
So..... an ode to you
o' nuisance dust
the game
we play is a must!
Moving from here to there
each day, ode to dust!

In the richness
of tear drops
my tender heart
pangs from
missing you...
My testimony belies
the depth of loneliness
your leaving has
caused me

I loved you so

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

Today

Should thou lovest me this day
I would be content in today
not ask for tomorrow...
But... live this day only
in splendor of knowing
thou lovest me today...
