~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIV~
July 23, 2004 | bentfeather and Poets of the Lair

Posted on 07/23/2004 4:39:59 PM PDT 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...

Dreamers Quest

In a blissful dreamers quest
a premonition manifested
in poetry
my love and desire
give innermost feelings
a will to blossom
to be beautiful
in an age of chaos

Lighting the way

If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle
Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.

I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.
Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.

Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

Don't blow me out, that's one request
Unless it's me you do detest.
I do not try to hurt anyone
That isn't good or any fun.

But one day you may leave me behind
You may no longer need my light to shine.
If that day comes, go on your way
And I will hope to see you again one day.

If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear
I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.

It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.
Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere
If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.

So I'm really not gone, just not seen,
I would not leave, I'm not that mean.
Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who lit your way.

Yes.
Though I do have to finish up and scan the most recent sketch/es.
(If I can force the scanner to work correctly!)

Heading off to bed before the strange 'borders of sleep' images drag me off kicking and screaming into hallucinatory wakefulness and show me odd visions of chaos and weirdness.. all because I'm very tired.
(Dunno why that happens, quite amusing to be awake for 3 days and watch the ground appear to ripple due to teh effects of sleep deprivation.. not amusing to findthat the 'mean time to hallucination' due to being sleep decreases each time.)

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 ~

I remember the color your hair was...
the color of spiced rum
With memories of you
walking without me
in gentle oriental rain
Left me with dreams
of being lost in your embrace.
The peace in your eyes
shone through
I was lost, lost
in your eyes
..........lost
in your embrace...
Dreams of you at Indian Twilight...

Shape on shape and fold on fold
Creates a world from simple mould.
In what emerges my eye can see
Bird or Beast or Geometry.

I’d like to recommend a good book.

This ain’t it. This is a BAAAD book. Don’t let your children near it.


If you want to read a good book, read How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill.

Outlandish! is a little bit easier to read, though. I didn’t have a chapter about translating Latin.
(As soon as I get enough people interested in this one, I can bring out the sequel!)

I'm baring up...



Nothing to Wear

She organized the closet,
And threw out all my stuff.
She said she needed lots more room,
And that I had enough.

I had to compromise a bit,
With all the nothing there.
My costume thus became a hit,
For I was wearing air!

I've heard them say "dress for success,"
I know what that's about.
It was my favorite way to dress,
Until I wore it out!

Had a weird series of dreams slightly along that line.
Weird.

Uhh..
In the dream I woke up after being tranq darted.
The apparent plot of the dream was that I was an 'outsider' and not of the local known male population.
Truly demented.
