~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXII
August 28, 2005 | bentfeather/The Poets of the Lair

Posted on 08/28/2005 2:26:23 AM 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 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...

Thought of the Day


American poet Emily Dickenson wrote,
"Behold this little Bane --
"The Boon of all alive --
"As common as it is known
"The name of it is Love."






Today is Monday, Oct. 3, the 276th day of 2005 with 89 to follow. Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown. The moon is new.
The morning stars are Mars and Saturn. The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Pluto.

"Did You Never Know?"
by Sara Teasdale

Did you never know, long ago, how much you loved me --
That your love would never lessen and never go?
You were young then, proud and fresh-hearted,
You were too young to know.

Fate is a wind, and red leaves fly before it
Far apart, far away in the gusty time of year --
Seldom we meet now, but when I hear you speaking,
I know your secret, my dear, my dear.

dragonfly of many hues

Sated Sweet Savagery

Soft as watered silk and hot as any fire,
she seems to burn like a forge beside me.
Her breath is hot and her lips hungry soft,
seeking me in her need so deep she burns.
We explore each other with desire in turn,
as the flames of our desire ever upward loft.
I caress her with intent to please you see,
and she reciprocates as my need goes higher.

Her soft hands now grasping claws that need,
seeking closer contact, we strive as we burn.
Her whispers direct and I answer her with love,
and she calls out her fiery need and she screams.
Passion ignited uses us in our duality it seems,
as we strive for oneness just out of reach above.
Our bodies ache for release as we take our turns,
and dimly do we perceive the climax we but feed.

I kiss the curve of her throat, feel the pulse below,
she arches up in hunger’s greed to partake of more.
A cry rings out, then another, our two worlds collide,
explosions of inner fusion of mind and soul so bright.
I hold her a moment as she holds claim to me as right,
we fall through eternal void, where nothing may hide.
Bound in soft captivity of hearts at peace evermore,
as we drift away on love’s timeless sweet dark flow.

It seemed cold in here, so I thought I'd turn the thermostat up a bit to cut the chill. (That was ok wasn't it?) ;^P

Leaves



A fall leaf has many
Colors, red, and orange,
They swing back and forth.

Dana

I'm back. :-) Sorry I've been lax in my appearances at the Lair.

Good afternoon Queenie!! *BIG HUGS TO YOU!*

It Gets Better
by Jo Dee Messina
(click to listen)

This old world can be cruel sometimes
When you're looking for answers
You can't seem to find
No one understands what you're going through

Oh I know it can get lonely out there
When you feel like nobody cares
Well you look around thinking
If they only knew
Well I do

I've felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I've walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees
Come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe
But it gets better

Time is a healer but we can't see how
When you're caught in the moment
And the hurting is now
We don't wanna see that maybe somethings
Weren't meant to figure out

I've felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I've walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees
Come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe
But it gets better

This old world can be cruel sometimes
When you're looking for answers
Well just keep in mind
No you're not alone
We're all trying to find our way through this life

I've felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I've walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees
Come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe
But it gets better

SILENCE
A Haiku for my friend, Old Sarge

 

 

 

 

 

Silence is so harsh
Leaving room for doubt and fear.
My friend, I miss you.

StarCMC,

I'm gonna try and be a little more regular, but it's been getting hard to find linakble music sites that aren't all midi. :-( So music may be posted a little less.

LOL on the tagline! Good one.


I am so glad to see you have some time to just goof around a bit. They are tightening down on the music links however, I am happy to have you post a poem now and again.

*HUGS*

Well, we are here, 3 of us. My youngest brother has not seen the KC, MO bro in years, nor has he ever flown. I made this my mission for the brothers.

They are out riding around now, you know the guy thing.


LOL

Just burning up the high priced gas.

LOL!!!!

Good for you getting them together. There's something about men -- it takes the women of the family to keep them connected I think.

Yikes!!!

I thought Hot Flashes
were a thing of the past,
but now . . .
here's our Johnn
stirring warm ashes, and
lighting a flame
to dispatch us,
to Paradise at last . . . ;-)
