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...

Well, right now I can't. Like the birds you'll have to get your own. ;)

Yesterday you said you were hungry, I just wondered if that is still the case today.
To: bentfeather
Oh, as a rule I don't remember yesterdays. I'm too busy imagining today and tomorrow. I'm also a nut and it's up to you to guess whether I have any idea of what I'm talking about.

Goodnight everyone.

Reflections before the Firefight
Dusk slides into darkness
and I strain to watch the shadows
watching ever for one that moves
one that shouldn’t
Its become too ordinary
living in that silence before battle
and than coming alive
and dodging mortality
Fear with my powered eggs
pain with my grounds filled coffee
and stress, just another dressing
on the table of war
I remember my car
and the girls that were so fetching
sitting inside there so sweet to see
as I slid my hand down their legs
Now I test infallibility
as on each day I strive
afraid of death’s hollow rattle
wondering if I’ll live to ever marry
What guy wouldn’t
wanna be with his high school sweetheart
wondering if you really reap what you sow
as I await combat’s grimness

Thanks for the nice words, much appreciated. I'm an old vet (Not quite sword and pike days but close) I have over the years scribed poems of war and combat. Something are powerful enough to leave a permanent mark as it were. Its easy to write of them, for they are never far away.

Good morning! Cloudy (which also means cool, here in SE Asia) day today. Wouldn't mind a lovely rain, cool and fresh.
Seasons come, seasons go
The rain returns every year
fresh, cool, free, enjoyable
