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... bentfeather©

She said she'd dent my head
And send me running from my bed
She wasn't as nice as I'd been led
And who'd have known she dressed in red?
And with that vase she made me dead.

One of my favored songs by the band Dream Theater.
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me and
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Oh that this too
Too solid flesh
Would melt

(Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?)
To: bentfeather; snippy_about_it
Why?

A torch & radio hang off my belt,
In winter I freeze,In summer I melt.
Im awake all night, asleep all day,
Will I patrol my life away.
If you dont see us, the man/woman or dog,
Rest assured, were doing our job.
Ours is to see and not to be seen,
That black and & tan shepherd, With the handler in green.
Those long conversations, where nothing is said,
Where he lifts his paw, and I pat his head.
He gets all the attention and deservedly so,
Hes the most courageous, creature I know.
Hell sit down or stay, or rip off your legs,
One word from his handler,
Hell tear you to shreds.
When he brings down a man, his tail will be wagging,
Though seldom in anger, more likely in just bragging.
My big furry playmate, so fearsome and tough,
And Ill never tell, just how much is bluff.
All that excitement, by the light of the moon,
Weve waited for weeks, its all over too soon.
This same old patrol, its becoming a habit,
The only excitement, a cat or a rabbit.
From sunburn to frost-bite, from mozzies to flies,
To the wind in your face, and the sun in your eyes.
Weve braved all the elements, to make piles of money,
The piles I have got, the pay just aint funny.
So why you may ask, do I favour this life,
Where I talk more to him, than I do to my partner.
It it isnt the pay, the perks or conditions,
Then what is the reason, for this silly rendition.
The reason I stay here, and the reasons, I slog,
Is not for the money, but for the love of a dog
So why you may ask when you quiz, is the friendship between us so fine ?
Cos the life he lays down will be his;
And the life he saves will be mine !!

If you like that drawing, you should
take a look at some of his other works.
Unfortunately, some of his work is too
large to be scanned & posted.
