                           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 guides
 we would dip and we would glide
 through the heavens open wide
 and scatter diamonds in the night sky
 my Dragon Fly and I...
 
  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...

To: SAMWolf
    Thank you SAM I appreciate it. 
 
The cost is great.
To: bentfeather
    I waited for you 
The sun kept the time 
The moon watched you 
I waited 
 
The stars had a view of you 
That I could not see 
The night embraced you 
I waited 
 
The day gave birth to you 
Your joy rose again 
In you eyes in the morning 
I waited 
 
The time and distance 
Are not so far, 
Drawing near 
 
I see your sillohette 
In the mist, 
dancing in the wind 
I am waiting
To: Rhyminsimon
    While I dream distance
 long memories awake to pain
 my memory holds love
 my fears sleep in love 
 staying alive

  Beneath velvet darkness 
 dazzling ice 
 over opal grey 
 sparkling snow 
 Falling in a quiet sky 
 love is a soft wind... 
     
     
 
 
To: bentfeather
    Let them go my love 
Those fears that keep you far 
From me, come whisper 
Tell me that you are 
 
Loving me and finally you 
Let me draw you close 
And closer still 
Till I hear you, my love sigh 
 
We languor in that moment 
In sleep we drift, in and out 
Of the same surrealistic dream 
 
We don our wings, and off we take 
Sailing upon the golden rays of the moon 
And float and drift and fly from star to star 
 
My love you are waiting, but dont 
Just come quickly, just as you are. 
To: Rhyminsimon
     I love soft luring scents and you
 your lovely eyes follow desire
 beyond you and found me

    Looking, entering into your eyes, 
Melting, I into you and you into me 
We probe and explore in curious delight 
And celebrate for an eternity 
 
Knowing you and 
seeing myself through your eyes 
 
And now, I am taken up 
Through and beyond my desire 
To a place, where there is peace 
Because now I see all 
and understand.

                             Magic is... poetry stealing its way across
 the mind in the night
 weaving words very tight
 to make them rhyme
 make them write
 Poetry is the Magic of the night...

    Beautiful Poem! 
 
Makes me wish that I was a dragonfly - or even a housefly, if it meant that I could hang out in your back yard.

        Our place is softas silky down
 understanding your loyality
 is love and
 losing your arguments...

To: bentfeather
    There is a time for winning 
And a time for letting go 
And a time for saying what you mean 
For us creatures that do no know 
 
Silky down is soft and nice 
And we and us, are nice words 
So you write to him, your loyality 
And I will sing to the birds
To: Rhyminsimon
    But I have lost so much to be here....
    
     
Stigmata of Tears
 oozing from pores
 fall from my eyes...
 A receiving vessel
 isnt provided...
 What do I do with them?
    
     
Glamour Fading 
 It hurt so bad... 
 one wanted it
 i have to give...
 i cannot contain it
 it will blow me up!
 What do I do with it?
    
     
I found the frame empty
 only wanted to fill it
 with color...my own damned
 life to sing something other than 
 the blues, time warped
 in shattered shards and shadows
 walking in gossamer webs 
 my mind caught in the
 Haunting of boxing with the wind
 blowing hard on my face
 faceless as you
 untouchable north
 can I move your south
 gather your scattered west and east
 as the angel of the seas...
 I would hold you 
 with open arms
 and agape love
 and 
    
     
Box with you in the winds...
