~The Dragon Flies' Lair Thread XI~

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...

I know Sam. I am heart broken for Bogdan and his family. Yesterday, we celebrated the poetry of his friend in Iraq, today we cry for Bogdan.

Each Moment of Love Remains like a Song

Each moment of love remains like a song
In the flow of our lives, in the lilt of our years,
Gripping our thoughts in its simple refrain,
Healing with beauty our unanswered pain,
The hymn of our hearts and the bed of our tears,
Your melody ancient, which we will pass on.

A Brook in the City



The firm house lingers, though averse to square
With the new city street it has to wear A number in.
But what about the brook That held the house as in an elbow-crook?
I ask as one who knew the brook, its strength
And impulse, having dipped a finger length
And made it leap my knuckle, having tossed
A flower to try its currents where they crossed.
The meadow grass could be cemented down
From growing under pavements of a town;
The apple trees be sent to hearth-stone flame.
Is water wood to serve a brook the same?
How else dispose of an immortal force
No longer needed? Staunch it at its source
With cinder loads dumped down? The brook was
thrown Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run -
And all for nothing it hd ever done
Except forget to go in fear perhaps.
No one would know except for ancient maps
That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.

Yesterday, my thoughts went to babbling brook play
when as a child many hours I did while away
on the banks of a babbling brook at play

Hours of listening to her whispering
little songs to robins and dragonflies

Under unturned rocks crabs would live
and I would disturb them in there daily life
by opening up their world to the light.

In cattail filled ditches by the road
I might encountered a little brown toad
or a leopard frog all spotted and green
with big bulging eyes to be seen

And In tuffs of stripped grass
did grow the tall and hollow stakes
of yellow
swamp iris to go home to mom
with a grin
for she knew where I had been...

By babbling brooks a listenin'....

'Twas a red-headed woman who was the end of me
It was always plain to see
Wrapped up in her devilry
Twirling in her finery
That red-headed woman was the end of me
I tried to hide in the draperies
But her servants were mean
And 'twas I that they'd seen
That red-headed woman was the end of me
Dancing 'round so seductively
Looked into my eyes so enchantingly
Her lips pouting invitingly
Red-headed woman is the end of me
Thrown from her hall for another week
But it's the back enterance I now seek
Just to get another peek.
The red-headed woman is the end of me

I haven't been very regular in the Hobbit Hole lately. I'm more likely to say hi to the folks behind the Dimensional Door these days.

Time to go for now. Have a good evening.

LOL!
Hmm.. maybeees it wasn't a good idea to drag ya kicking and screaming through the Dimensional Doors.
It seems to have an influence on those who enter.
As Sam said when he dropped in there once, "Weird Thread.. what's it about?"
LOL!
