~The Dragon Flies' Lair IV~
November 7, 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 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...

Nice poem and a perfect picture to go with it. Looks like that could be Oregon.

Good evening all at the Dragon Flies Lair. It took a bit but I got here. It's getting harder and harder to find new pretties to bring along. Trying not to double up on them. LOL!

I hope everyone's having a wonderful evening.

Did a drawing of a dragonfly on a small sketchpad.
*chuckle*
Unfortunately, I didn't put fixative spray on it and it smeared.

anticipation
i wait for you

night turns into day
you're near but not here

i miss you
i wait for you

seasons change
my love for you does not

time slows as it flies by
i wait for you

months turn into years
love into tears
and i am waiting still

You're welcome, feather. It's fun to search for new dragonflies to bring along. It takes a little while now because I have dig a bit deeper to find something special. Not just any ol' dragonfly will do. hehe

Ooooh maaaan! Don'cha hate it when something happens to sketches like that?
Having seen some of your other works, I'll bet the dragonfly was stunning.

WOW! Look at you go, snippy! I recall you saying a while back that you weren't a poet. You can't say that now.

seasons change
my love for you does not

time slows as it flies by
i wait for you

And on her boughs
soft and green
smelling sweet on paths
of thistle down
dried puff ball
and Queen Anne Lace
and hot summer winds
upon a face shadowed
in lace and morning dew
yes, there was a love
long ago...

that walked in moonlight
and star strewn paths
warm ocean beezes and
climbed high sand dunes
and sunned away an afternoon
sheltered behind the sweet
sea grass, silent eyes
watching
lovers exchanging a glance
just a touch of afternoon
romance...
