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

Posted on 02/14/2004 5:40:25 PM PST by Soaring Feather

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...

I had no idea. Being Swedish I spend most my cultural knowledge time drinking Aquavit. ;)

Helga is half Finn and half Swede!!

My grandmother was a half and halfer. Notice I did not say heifer. LOL
She was the farmer, my grandfather tramped all around as was the custom looking for work.

I explore your smile
with my mind
the emotion is strong
you are overpowering

I love you through rising,
changing, waters

in your arms
I found your joy....

Explore my smile with great care,
for I may be tempted to explore you.
What potential we might find there,
striking fire,starting flames as we do.

Striking fire is for lightning blots
I looked in your eyes and saw the fire
I knew it raged - unbridled, like a wild stallion
Riding horses was a fear of mine
until I learned they sense fear
and I learned how to hide it...

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

Today

Should thou lovest me this day
I would be content in today
not ask for tomorrow...
But... live this day only
in splendor of knowing
thou lovest me today...

You can not hide what burns in you,
it shine forth from your lovely eyes.
I see it there and smile inside I do,
for I shall have my way with you, my prize.

The Mist



I am the mist, the impalpable mist,
Back of the thing you seek.
My arms are long,
Long as the reach of time and space.

Some toil and toil, believing,
Looking now and again on my face,
Catching a vital, olden glory.

But no one passes me,
I tangle and snare them all.
I am the cause of the Sphinx,
The voiceless, baffled, patient Sphinx.

I was at the first of things,
I will be at the last.
I am the primal mist
And no man passes me;
My long impalpable arms
Bar them all.

Carl Sandburg

Good morning Sam.
Wow, this poem is fantastic along with a perfect graphic to emphasize the power of the words.

Thanks for the tunes. Listening to them now.

Good morning!

Feather, this is very nice work!

I explore your smile
with my mind

Wonderful imagery. Thank you!

I will be at a funeral this afternoon so will likely not return until late tonight or tomorrow.
