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 me...

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...

Reflections.....O' life is autumn and I turn and look, back a little on my life's' book. I count the triumph's and the loss; In part to rest in part to toss. I cant go back I must go on; doing my best with autumn's song.

For Want of a Camera



Can one possibly hope to capture
the eerie twilight
the surrealistic sunset
that bathes the land in darkest blues
And the sun deepest orange
death throes as it sinks
beneath the horizon
Without my lens of lasting
memory what can I do
But watch in awe as
the moon and one bright companion
waltz among the lacy leafless
branches of October
And wonder if these are but
Roots reaching for the heavens
Drawing true nourishment from
where nourishment truly comes
What can I do but wish and walk on,
left with only a chemical imprint
on the canvas of my mind instead.

I Painted You A Rainbow

I painted you a rainbow
your colors are every hue
my love for you in primary red
your happiness in sunny yellow
my sadness in cobalt blue

I painted you a rainbow
and cried my tears for you
in a kaleidescope of color
in a midnight shade of blue

I painted you a rainbow
I winked a Aurora's wave
and I gave my all to your rainbow
and wonder what you gave.

Mr. M.....Passing Clouds..... I was caught up in the illusion of you and I relished it; without hesitation. The night stood in a void while the moon framed the clouds and your smile warmed the night. Holding you was tender and you completed me. Treasured were all he memories but the sound of a distant drum of reality kept sounding, and I could not shut it out. Then I said good buy to you, but in my heart I keep the illusion.
