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...

Night Sky



Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
Remembering that special day
Since the moment you came my way
Staring at the stars at night
You are always in my sight.
I don't know what to do,
I'm crazy thinking of you
Walking in the path of air
I see your face everywhere.
I can't believe, but what can I do,
I'm falling in love with you
I've always wanted to tell you
All my feelings for you
But as I start to speak
All my words are caught in traffic
Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
Remembering that special day
Since the moment you came my way.

Good morning, Lair! Happy Tuesday :)

Understanding

I understood the rest too well,
And all their thoughts have come to be
Clear as grey sea-weed in the swell
Of a sunny shallow sea.

But you I never understood,
Your spirit's secret hides like gold
Sunk in a Spanish galleon
Ages ago in waters cold.

Morning Colonel.

A recent band that I like:
(The video is weird, crows attack the city, and everyone dies and becomes video stretch blurred ghosts..)

Story Of The Year - Anthem Of Our Dying Day
From the album "Page Avenue"

The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were hear
I swear I wont miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying!!!

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
And you gasp for air tonight!!

From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

Our dying day
Of our dying!!!

Phoebe Cary (1824-1871)

Suppose

Suppose, my little lady,
 Your doll should break her head,
Could you make it whole by crying
 Till your eyes and nose are red?
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
 To treat it as a joke;
And say you're glad "'T'was Dolly's
 And not your head that broke?"

Suppose you're dressed for walking,
 And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear off any sooner
 Because you scold and frown?
And wouldn't it be nicer
 For you to smile than pout,
And so make sunshine in the house
 When there is none without?

Suppose your task, my little man,
 Is very hard to get,
Will it make it any easier
 For you to sit and fret?
And wouldn't it be wiser
 Than waiting like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest
 And learn the thing at once?

Suppose that some boys have a horse,
 And some a coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
 To say, "It isn't fair?"
And wouldn't it be nobler
 To keep your temper sweet,
And in your heart be thankful
 You can walk upon your feet?

And suppose the world don't please you,
 Nor the way some people do,
Do you think the whole creation
 Will be altered just for you?
And isn't it, my boy or girl,
 The wisest, bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or doesn't come,
 To do the best you can?

Ocean Soul
By: Nightwish

One more night
To bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say

Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul

Walking the tideline
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts

I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion
