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 Would My Lord
I would take my Lord
in the morning of your youth
in the noon of your hunger
in the eve of your desire
in the midnight of your madness
I would take my Lord
on mountain tops
winding roads
the steppes of the plains
I would take my Lord
to the stairway of the stars
I would love you
in the Spring of your youth
in the Summer of your bloom
in the Fall of your life
in the Winter of your discontent
Oh I would take my Lord
through the wanting
through the longing
to the final frontier ....
our star in Scorpio
there to be one....My Lord
I would take you.

The Knight repairs to the tower,
wounded, scarred, but not unbowed,
Storm-wracked field awash and blowing,
Spirits soaked, but never cowed,
And in this place of quiet rest,
candle flickering in the night,
the Lady leaves her message of longing,
can you see His eyes shining bright?
In this place, so far from home,
newly-scarred face that frames the eye,
He reminds his Lady, distance is as nothing,
never farewell, and never goodbye,
But can only in part silence, and never still
the voice of music and verse that sings,
caring and coming from faraway lands,
for Yours, comfort and love it brings.

Fair Knight whose song
is sorely missed at eve's time
when the Poet's Dance is rhyme
Cloaked in armor laden from weary
battles of honor and winds of war
rest thy tired bones in chambers
of soft velvet cloth
and sup with me on this night's
reprieve from the fight
gather thy lonely beaten breast
near to thy maidens chest
assuage to this valiant knight of war
a kind word we do implore
and no more talk of war
but lavender lace fields of clover
a genteel moment of respite
please...
Candle light burns low
in secret chambers
love's song
star filled flights
dreams of castles grand
and peace throughout the land
where chivalry is still grand

I do so long to see a time
of quiet solitude,
A time of silence, wuthering winds,
a night of sweet etude,
The cries of battle, clangor of wars,
would not intrude this place,
the only sounds and sights would be
my lady's sighs and face.
The Dance goes on, here in these halls,
secure from fire and storm,
where the only arms are not of war,
but of lovers, safe and warm,
the clarion sounds upon the field,
the footfalls loud with dread,
but the soft padding of the Posts' Dance
is what I hear instead.

I wait then for thee
in the quiet of the hour
when all that is heard is soft breathing
on the half hour -
the night flower blooms
sends her sweet aroma round the room
solitude is the drink in which we imbibe
gazing into each other's eyes
In my lover's warm, strong arms
I behold the miracle of honor,
trust, adoration, and valor
and the soft swish of Velvet
moving over a bodice
And so dear White Knight
the bell tolls late
the guard at the gate
doth await the rising moon
and the trumpet's blare
the night hounds run
but in silence we hold
our sacred vow
Forever is ours.
To: Old Sarge
You are sounding weary. A few more days to go and then hopefully you can rest, soldier! HUGS!!

No, but I knew- I am a poet. We write from where we are.
