~The Dragon Flies' Lair V~

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...

Indeed it does. And offers hope to me, in a rather profound way. So thank you :)

So Fine on the Vine

Silvering of years leave vines
gnarled and hues
roughened to worn black
as sweet dreams became
silvered with age
knotty deep and unforgiving
of bending round objects
laid on the young vine
cat walks for the young?

Was the saturation, too much,
or the dreams
beyond achievement
unrealistic on the canvas
ruining brushes future use
as the twig is bent so grows
the vine so fine
etched in the face of life
highways and byways
roads maps to
an irrational exuberance
and unrestrained, bursting
to be forever young
with the fury of a wild horse
jumping the young vines

I shall be forever young...
the vine is so fine
with new life
loving that consumes all
causing things to crash
at midnight the mind
whirls in excitement
the colors flash
and deepen in hue

So Fine on the Vine

If Ever I Would Leave You



If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sun-light,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre
that puts gold to shame!

But if I'd ever leave you,
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.

And could I leave you
running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
when you catch the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no! not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

Camelot

My years are etched inside
My face will never show
The passage of time goes by
Forever lays before me
And never the years will show
Cursed appearance of eternal youth
An age I'll never seem
No lines to crease my visage
No way to turn my page
The mirror knows my rage
Dorian Grey is my cage

If Ever I Would Leave You

Sam,

These lyrics are by far the most beautiful of song lyrics.

Thank You.

I'm almost embarressed to admit I liked most of the music from Camelot. "If Ever I Would Leave You" was one of the best.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face...

Song lyrics so true
I knew I truly do love you
those fleeting moments
I held you with my eyes
while my heart was pounding
with unbelief that you really
flesh and blood were within
my reach and those moments
are the life blood that move me
forward and fill my cup with joy

The sound of your voice I play over
in my mind... to hear you laugh
and share you with me
nights you are my last thought
mornings my first and you run
gentle over my mind.... I smile
at your image ...

A soft haunting washes me warm
with your love
across so many miles
I in my soul's secret recess
know all is well and I am your gem
and you are the warmth causing the glow
The First Time Ever I Saw You Face.

I dreamed of you last night
It was as easy as closing my eyes
And there you were
Oh, your sweet smile
Your eyes looking up at me with wonder
As you did that first perfect night

I dreamed of you last night
After asking God to let me find
You, in the place no one else knows
And there you were
Seeming to slide inside my skin
Close, again, to my heart

I dreamed of you last night
So thankful, happy to be mine
Two in love, joined at the heart
And there you were
Your touch so welcomed
My dearest and always

I dreamed of you last night
When I woke, there was no sadness
Simply the feeling of your love
And there you were
Your kiss so dear
And you are forever mine

I saw Venus tonight
shining bright
she a light guiding me
to you and a promise
true of love forever...

And flights with My Dragon Fly
high, high in the sky
just we two lovers
in the morning dew
My Dragon Fly and I
are two...

Velvet are your wings
soft...on my thighs
our heights ascend
higher in the cold black sky
on the jet stream wind
enchantment wins
Our star in sight
Dragon Fly Delight

I'll look for you in Scorpio
you look for me in Cancer
Loving one another is the answer
Just My Dragon Fly and I
Soaring the night sky...
