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...

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

memories of our passion
imprints linger still

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

Sarge

dream of distant lands
knights and damsels dancing
to a starlight band

The idea today is change."

Blue Norther
thru' my window blows.
Welcome relief,
tho' it chills my toes.

Summer's gone,
not really too sad.
Gorgeous Autumn
surely, isn't so bad.

Brilliant colours
flashing all around.
This season's
Bounties do astound.

Good night dear Hope, thanks so much for being here.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night to all who enter the Lair.
May you find peace, love and joy from your visit.
To the poets who post their poetry and music,
Thank You, for treating this room with respect.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Sam,

Please forgive me for getting back to you so late.

This is a wonderful poem. It's so well written.

Thanks for this contribution.

Currents in the Mind

My mind, it flows like a river,
with currents light and dark,
moving ever onward and I shiver,
for it does go on in fair or stark.

Images course the stream so bold,
vivid colors over monotone bones,
fleshing out scenarios in many tones,
like a runaway life the Fates do hold.

Energy crackles in my perception,
as life shifts between real and deception,
and I wonder, can I begin to tell them apart,
for a mind often runs far beyond the heart.

[WayzataJOHNN]

Touch love with great care
empires have fallen to it
in this crazy world

[WayzataJOHNN]

For those who don't know me well, there is more then a little of the Irish in me, and I have old and sad ties to the green land of Erin. Sometimes I scratch out some poem or two of that land of mirth and hearthache, and I may as well post them here as leave them in the computer files to gather cyber-dust.

Heart Wind

Winds kiss the tall grasses and weave pictures in the mind,
of a living sea that fills the land from sky to sky and back again.
They sing of places gone and yet to be again, for us to finally find,
amid the flowing of our history from the future where its lain.


The winds will speak of Kings, and Lords, and Jesters among mortal man,
and tell a weaving poem of epic form outlining each of them.
War and Peace, and in between, where man is best but often ban,
echoing songs of sorrow and joy too, and bittersweet the ancient poems.

Whispering pipes across the hills, each dale the depth to gently fill,
and call to hearts so far away, that come no more, or at last to stay.
Echoes of history that tell of it all, the giving of life or the last bloody kill,
drift on the wind like a song of the heart, touching us all in its own special way.

[SAMWolf]

Autumn



There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

HEART WIND


A beautiful and sad poem, Johnn.

Thank you for so many wonderful treasures in the Lair this day.


Some born from pain, others of joy
we put them down in words to share
with all who've been there.
