~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...

Today is Monday, May 10, 2004.
The moon is waning.
The morning stars are Neptune, Uranus, Mercury and Pluto.
The evening stars are Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn.

A song, about bad relationships.

The Rasmus - Funeral Song
From the album "Dead Letters"

I dumped you again
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more

These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again

I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire

I've failed you again
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt ok

Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again

I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire

Standing in the still of the night,
watching, waiting for the light
to break through the darkness shrill
from atop the ominous, rocky hill,
I felt a chill run down my spine
as I held your hand in mine,
tracing the line of your face,
I knew no other time & place.
Suddenly light shown around,
casting our shadows on the ground...
oh, time moves on, but even now,
I'll forever be your's... by the lighthouse.

Thanks. I've just been lurking as of late.
Been rather uninspired for a while.

In the Land of Glen Gaul Way

I
In the Land of Glen Gaul Way
did the knights come to play
in low dusk that is not light
to duel and fight into darkest night.

II
Clashing blades with ringing sounds
a fair knight hit the ground
silvery beams abound around
the bloodied dueling grounds
of Glen Gaul Way

III
Damsels fair in midnight air
with silvery and golden hair
and velvet capes of blackest night
gathered round to watch the fight

IV
Mighty steeds snort and whinny
the dancing hooves of fair knights plight
stomp the ground in anxious need to
charge their master to the deed
to fight another duel of might
clashing, slashing, blades, burn bright
In the Land of Glen Gaul Way

V
Glen Gaul Way
In fields of vi-o-lets and ferns
White Knight did hold a yearn for a
damsel tall and blonde hiding in
the Lily Pond.
VI
Holding court in Glen Gaul Way
a maiden fair was heard to say
my White Knight will come some night
to whisper by the Lily Pond
Passion is the promise bold
as she gripped her breast from
the cold, moist night air
with fireflies blinking in foggy light

VII
Damsel held the promise told by
Magic Merlin of the old
that on a dark and stormy night
the Dragonfly would show his
color bright and come to her
in the night
and take her on his wings of flight
Her White Knight of Chivalry
the Dragon Fly delight

Well, yes & no, on occasion. I'll be visiting
him & the rest of his family for memorial day.
It'll only be a couple days though.

I am your bones
you are my sinew
on dark days of missing you
I gather strength from the muscle that is you
and I wrap my bones around you
