~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...

The shadow of his smile
lingers awhile scrap
booking my memory in lace

They say it is cool,
The back side of a pillow...
Not my waterbed!

well, all I could find to build it were the left over bits used for the smaller fan, so I hope once I get it hooked up to the 1,500 HP drag-race engine it'll help to keep those hot 'flashes, 'urges', flushes, (whatever) more in control

Dear 'feather,

After such a heartfelt request as yours I relented on the fan,and gave it to a brewmaster friend of mine to use as a stirring rig for a beer vat. The Dragonflys are safe again!


And those who might find my simple prose a bit hot at time will just have to sweat it out for the sake of the dragonflys!


So there.

I dreamt of your heartbeat
but then I awoke
and steel rain was falling

LECTURING MY DAUGHTER IN HER FIRST FALL RAIN



this then is fall rain.
i spoke of it

in july, telling you
rain has textures,

telling you july
rain drives deep for

dry roots, to fill them,
drives in at warm

angles, softly. i
told you then fall

rain is cold, rough as
wrought iron, sometimes,

bent as rusted nails.
you were content,

though, to wait, to learn
this rain by touch,

to measure your blue
fingers against

the still warm places
between rain-drops

on your surprised face.

Good morning everyone.
Thanks Sam, for opening up the Lair. I'm a little lazy here while in MO.
