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 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 MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER



Hi Sam,

Wow that is a poem! I read it once, but will go back for a reread (is that a word)? LOL It's a short story.

Listening to the tunes. Thank you much for donuts, coffee and poetry everyday.

[snippy_about_it]

so you don't write romantic poetry
I can do without

as long as I can be with you

your laughter sings
your touch is gentle

your lips excite
your eyes shine

with your body you say all the things
I want to hear

Lovely work, snippy.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Wow!

A side of you I've not yet seen. Thank you for sharing .. it's wonderful! :)

[snippy_about_it]

A side of you I've not yet seen.

I dare say! LOL. Stick around. :)

[SAMWolf]

Yeah. She missed her calling, she writes excellent prose.

[Darksheare]

Cool.
*blushes*
Wish I could write like that...

[Colonel_Flagg]

One waits with bated breath. :)

[snippy_about_it]

...she writes excellent prose.

......Thanks SAM.

[snippy_about_it]

Darksheare, you have written like that. I've seen quite of few of your romantic poems. I know it's not your first love and not as easy for you as your "regular" writing but when you do write it, it is very good.

...and I use the term "regular" loosely. LOL.

[Darksheare]

Regularly irregular?

[snippy_about_it]

up ahead there is a fork in the road
a detour from the path we've been on

come down it with me
live and love in the moment

the fork is sure to soon turn
and we will be back on our old path

should we miss this opportunity
the road may not diverge again

let's take this chance
to experience something different
something wonderful
each other

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Regularly...different?

[Darksheare]

I'm still laughing about it myself.
Umm.. Maudlin doesn't describe it, and Bipolar Writing doesn't describe it.
We may have to invent something to describe my writ.
E.Poeism?

[Soaring Feather]

Superb.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Let me think about that for awhile. I'm sure we can come up with something. It rather goes along with your coffee dontcha think. LOL.

Oh dear, I'm being cruel. You know I enjoy your writing no matter how bizarre some of it is to me. Some of it is very touching and very sentimental, some very witty. You know of which ones I speak and you know I tease you with only good intentions and hugs! *grin*

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you feather. When are you expecting to be rid of the workmen at your place?

[Colonel_Flagg]

The Unseen

Fog and mist enshroud the stars
The lights that illuminate my way

Before, I found it beautiful
Swirling tapestries dancing in the darkness

But now, they are cold, wet obstacles
As quicksand placed between my heart and goal

Formless, yet made of steel
Shapeless, yet aching reminders

When sleep comes, the apparition fades
The sun shines brightly, and she I love

Is with me, at my side, and I remember
The smile, the joy, the happy heart

Now gone, and God knows where
And daybreak brings return of bitter things

I do not wish this.

I wonder, how can man turn back a clock
To when such sadness dared not show its face

Knowing I cannot, I must move on
The fog’s cool touch reminds me

That someday, my wish will come true
If I but wait … and wait … and wait.

[Darksheare]

Cruel??
I think not so, therefore it is not cruelly mentioned but in jest bespoken.
Yes, it does go with my coffee.
Now THAT is an experiment I do not want to partake of:
Reading my writ while experiencing the effects of my coffee.

[Darksheare]

I like it!
