~The Dragon Flies Lair III~
October 18, 2003 | bentfeather

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...

The step cats are pretty cool. LulaBelle keeps them in line.

Thanks on both accounts. I have a Tagline Library. "Living fast" is one of my favorites.

Augh!
You'll have to find a Mac compatible PKunzip type proggy, (like WinZip) to use.
*ugh*
Let me see if I can find it elsewhere..

Hmmm..
Shopping with the step-daughter always was, errr... mobile comedy.
I'll regale you with the gruesome details of being asked politely to leave a store just for trying on clothes later when you get back.

?????

3 A.M. and the moment is gone
Awaken from sleep like a stone that is thrown
Spinning my head, all alone
A Twilight Zone Ranger on aphasia patrol
Where are you?
Narrated story, no feeling - no choice
Following along with the disembodied voice
Threshold twirling like a vortex, right?
Rod Serling, is that you?
Awake or asleep, what does it mean
There's gotta be more than just a crazy dream
Writer or written choices extreme
But the Zone's secrets end at the Twilight scream
Submitted for approval, approval unshown
Twilight Zone Ranger, all alone
Awaking at the threshold, cold as stone
3 A.M. and the moment is gone

Makes no sense to me, but it's what popped into my head...

Night bard of love
beware of fountains of glory
wrath is the bloody harvest
of rotting hate
and rumbling guns

I like the fiddle in it.
(That's not a violin or a viola in that song..)

Night will fall on me
Shadows etched on my face
Care lines left
I'll fade into the night
Someday I'll begin agin
And learn to love again
Into the light I'll stray
And be again
But night falls on me
My heart grown cold
Foresee the day
Blood fire awakened again
And love is all I'll have

Ooops, there was supposed to be an image with that.

A J&P Blue Girl rose. (What it normally looks like. Mine is more pink..)

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me.)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up.)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up.)
Before I come undone.
(Save me.)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]
(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me.)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up.)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up.)
Before I come undone.
(Save me.)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie)
(There's nothing inside.)
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul

Don't let me die here.
There must be something more.
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]
(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me.)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up.)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up.)
Before I come undone.
(Save me.)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
1806-1861

Sonnet

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
