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 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...

Awwwwww you are just, too, good to me Sam!!! :-)

I never critique another's work. Poetry like art comes from the heart of the creator. I do a lot of silly poems and some serious. I stay away from the dark foreboding work because I try to make other's laugh or think. I don't like to make other's dread. Thanks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I stay away from the artsy side except to do satire. I like to use everyday words instead of "Saffron". I like to talk eye to eye with the reader not down. I do it for mental excercise and fun. Sometimes I'm lightly serious.

[SAMWolf]

I like to use everyday words instead of "Saffron".

LOL!

I like to talk eye to eye with the reader not down.

I think that was the one thing that bugged me about most poetry as a kid, I always felt like I was being talked down to, like the writer somehow was "superior" because he/she could write poetry.

[Conspiracy Guy]

yep. I use slang, snippets, whatever it takes. People who read my stuff say, "Dang I could have written that".

[SAMWolf]

I've only tried a few poems and pretty much limited it to haiku. It seems the easiest for me. I really like to find others poetry that I like and share it.

[Soaring Feather]

My world
a silent symphony of love
becomes lost when you fear
my whispers will end
as love bringing confusion...

[snippy_about_it]

Don't forget, you can try to find a hotel with a business office or a bar with internet access and a library. That's what SAM and I did in San Diego and I know SAM used the library while on a camping trip once.

Otherwise, I hope your wireless behaves.

Take care.

Take me back

Take me back my lover, won't you please take me home
Will you really say it's over, I can't live a life alone

I'll make it up to you my baby, if you give me one more try
I've got so much to lose with you, don't let our love just die

What have I done to our lives, what have I done to our tomorrows
How could I face another light, with all this pain and sorrow

Could you find it in your heart to forgive me, just one more time
Or will it rain each day in both of our lives, and the sun no longer shine

Take me back baby
I'll come if you ask

Can't we just go on from here, my dear, and put it in the past
Won't you please forgive me baby, how could I've been so blind

Is it going to end like this, and simply be no more
How could you walk away from me, my love, and forever close the door

Take me back baby
I'll do as you say

Take me back my lover, won't you please take me home
Will you really say it's over, I can't live a life alone

I'll make it up to you my baby, if you give me one more try
I've got so much to lose with you, don't let our love just die

Can you make me any sadder, then by keeping us apart
Will it ever be the same again, can't we make a fresh new start

Will you look at all the pain, don't you see I love you so
Is this the end for us my dear, can't you please just let it go

Take me back baby
I'll come if you ask

We had so much we shared how could you really go away
Will it ever be the same my dear, can't we start a brand new day

How could it just end like this, and simply be no more
How could you walk away from me, my love, and forever close the door

Take me back baby
I'll come if you ask

Take me back my lover, won't you please take me home
Will you really say it's over, I can't live a life alone

I'll make it up to you my baby, if you give me one more try
I've got so much to lose with you, don't let our love just die

NIGHTSHIFT, 1946

In the steamy heat and the noise
Of the turning belts and spinning cylinders
That drove the cranky and endless flow of paper
We busted ass seven days a weeks
For enough to live our small-town lives.

Laughing and swearing
We bullshitted while we worked,
About The Bulge and Omaha Beach,
Iwo and Leyte Gulf,
Flak and fighters and burning cities.

Managers gone for the day,
Forman looking the other way,
We drank when we could find the time
Cheap whiskey, cheap wine
And beaucoup bottles of beer.

Swingshift or graveyard,
Laughing and bitching,
Drinking and bullshitting,
And busting ass.
Content in our simple world
Not awake to the wrongs around us.
Not worrying about the future.

Glad it was over.
Glad to be home.
Glad to have a job.
Glad to be alive.

It was in my head and I had to get it out!!!!!


LOL. I do prefer being called to it by you and your music though.

I'll just have to learn to be patient. ;)

[SAMWolf]

I'll just have to get up earlier.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Another good one. If my mind wasn't absorbed in wedding, rehearsal tonight, the wedding tomorrow night. I'd write something. I must escort my little baby girl in white (she's 24). Until I beat the heck out of my future son in law. Just kidding I really like the kid and he has seen all my firearms and pratice targets.

[SAMWolf]

Congratulations to the NewlyWeds to be.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'm looking for Saturday morning. Everything around me reminds me that my little girl is grown up now. Hopefully the nerves will be cooled off Saturday morning.
