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...

A Soldier Speaks

Even though your bullet will pierce my uniform

and strike my heart,

you will not kill me, enemy.

Even though your shell will tear my body

to ribbons,

you, enemy, will not kill me.

I especially like this one.

Hi Matt, thank you for this work. My these women truly are heroines.

Step Beyond

Will he step beyond
to breathe hope into
this love before a
catastrophe laughs
down his desire
in my eyes...

Twinkling nights
firefly flights
fairy delights
welcoming
the love light
of dawn's flower

Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)

1914 V. The Soldier

              1  If I should die, think only this of me:

              2      That there's some corner of a foreign field

              3  That is for ever England. There shall be

              4      In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;

              5  A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,

              6      Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;

              7  A body of England's, breathing English air,

              8      Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

              9  And think, this heart, all evil shed away,

            10      A pulse in the eternal mind, no less

            11          Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;

            12  Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;

            13      And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,

            14          In hearts at peace, under an English heaven

Thank You Star for this fine poem.

The More I Am Away from You 

The more I am away from you,
The more I want you here.
The more I do without your love,
The more I want you near.

I know that it makes little sense
To want what's not around,
But there's just one true love for me
And that's the one I've found.

We've gone through all the weather maps,
The sunshine and the rain,
But I would take a sea of storms
To be with you again.
