~The Dragon Flies' Lair IX~
February 14, 2004 | bentfeather, Poets of The Dragon Flies' Lair

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...

Making love on Mars and Venus
in the morning
a lovely irony...

I need making war
and who could tell
the difference
between love and war...

My powder is always dry
this is one battle I will not lose
you are contest enough for me...

Already stubbed me toes on the furniture.
I'll get used to it.

Heaped in White Dust

Monarchs shimmering 
in afternoon shadows
Hummingbirds and quiet black-eyed susans
laced in sleep
tinkling one heart
stealing my love
our desire heaped in white dust

Shall we tour the planets,
you and I?
brushing the mists as around
and about we fly?

From the abyss of The Void
we speed, toward the home
and hearth, and every loving deed.

First at Pluto
and sister Charon,
dark and cold
like the absence of love.

Ghostly Neptune passes by,
Sea-king's namesake.
Uranus, the Sky-King,
wanders alone.

Lorldy Saturn, next,
golden belt about
his baronial girth.

And the Jovian Giant,
His retinue dances with us,
bountiful and plenty.

And now, we dance again,
the children of the lost brother
spinning slowly
in the night.

You spoke of Mars?
Behold the Warbringer,
red with wrath
or passion, you think?
Spear and shield
shaken and shiver.

Now a vastness we pass by
you think it's amiss?
then cast your eye

on Venus, the Lovebringer
shrouded in cloud
like the robe you cover
your lovliness in.

And farther yet,
warmer still than love
spins messenger Mercury,
blazing in his flight.

Faster and heated
now wings our flight
as the Sun's awesome power
drives back the night.

Winging 'round the star
flames beneath our pinions
we soar back to the dark,
but eyes looking toward the Gem.

Yes, that jewel in the void,
blue, green, and white,
She of many names,
Gaia, Arda, Terra Firma,
Ours, and Love's first home.

'Til dogs would all be sneezing, and smile as we go by.

I like that line, it's so cute. Good poem. Thanks and welcome to The Dragon Flies' Lair.

All aboard the Star Land Express

All aboard the Star Land Express
loading at launch pad 49
get on the rocket for a night time ride

With you by my side through the
galaxies we glide... zooming through
the asteroid side
a bit bumpy is the ride

Wow, here we come Jupiter,
zip there goes Mars
The Jovian Jewels
in their splendor
move us to gaze
in wide eyed awe
at the wondrous things we saw

We heard the hum as the planets
spun in elliptical orbits wobbling
to and fro and the beauty
that we see in the nebula
yes, it's free, just the two of us
you and me in splendor
at heavens gates
in our Chariots of Fire...

Good morning to all at the Lair!

I hope everyone is doing well. :-)

I see a couple of chok-lit donuts still in the kitchen so I'll just take care of this lil detail. *giggle* "Look mom...no crumbs!"

Hummingbird



wings flutter quickly
hovering by the flower
sipping sweet nectar

standing still in space
as it hovers gracefully
perched upon the air

hummingbird so pure
god's tiny creation brings
pleasure to our hearts

radu, thanks so much for the wonderful Dragon Fly. He looks wonderful in his frame.

It's a welcome site this morning in The Lair, the temp outside this a.m. is below zero.
