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...

George Gordon, Lord Byron
(1788-1824)
I Saw Thee Weep
by George Gordon, Lord Byron
I saw thee weep---the big bright tear
Came o'er that eye of blue;
And then methought it did appear
A violet dropping dew:
I saw thee smile---the sapphire's blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine;
It could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine.
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye,
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky,
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart;
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens o'er the heart.

Ah, Byron! :)
Here's my morning offering ..
When We Two Parted
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:--
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met--
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.
George Gordon, Lord Byron

"And he blunders right smack into the 500! Have you ever seen such carnage race fans?"
*chuckle*
Got this floating through my head at the moment:
Sullen angel, don't lie to me
There's more to life than what you see
Though it's all just Mystery
The warmth of your arms is comforting

The warmth of your arms is comforting to me...
The light of thine eyes
my guiding light
crystal and clear
in the night
Oh do come to comfort me
and spread thy velvet wings
way out
and beckon me with a feather shout..

Some days I have a hard time reading Byron. Which is very unfortunate. Not surprisingly, I have a fair amount of Byron in my collection.

To: Colonel_Flagg; All
Dusk descends from mist
and hissing comets
enticing our dawns,
under Blue stars
Come my tears rising within
a crimson flame of love
arching under a celestial sky
softly desiring eyes o violet's darkness
breathing in shudders
