The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XXI~
June 26, 2005 | bentfeather/Poets of the Lair

Posted on 06/25/2005 9:22:33 PM PDT by Soaring Feather

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 guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

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...

Oh, thank you so much .... This is like finding a special hidden room in a house I've been living in a while ... I used to have dreams like that.

Oh what a wonderful description of the Lair. We are a quiet space at FR. Poets need quiet and serene surroundings to allow their muse to sing.

We sing here a lot, and for that I am so grateful. The poets keep coming back.

Weightless

Crimson mornings
burned, soft love
until
soul's night flame
exhausted the last
nameless,
night of desire,
weightless.

Angelical Jessica
so fair of face
already aligned
with beauty and grace

Nature blessed you with
golden tresses
rosy cheeks, and
fairytale dresses.



Brother Byron
is another story
pitching and hitting
he's in his glory

Smiling and playful
when bases are run
hot, tired and sweaty
that's part of the fun.

Jessica and Byron
to your Mommy and Daddy
you're something special
but, I bet you know that already.

Heartache

It’s a bloody great dark hole
through the middle of a torn soul,
and it hurts like time will never end.

Confusion adds it own,
and hurts right to the bone,
and you’re not sure it’ll ever mend.

Every word seems a barbed arrow cruel
and looks sets fear and love to endless duel,
making it hard to tell dark foe from friend.

Until you either sink or swim once again,
in shining light or dark of night, peace or pain,
and hope the only one to salve and tend.
