~The Dragon Flies' Lair IV~
November 7, 2003 | bentfeather

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 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...

There was so much pain in his face that day.

I agree with you, it was in his eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.

Yep. I'm a face reader and an empath (I control it my empathy). It's hard to fool me in writing and impossible to fool me face to face, even if you're on video.

Many of my friends ask me to give them opinions on; people they want to date(I'm serious), politicians, sales people, etc. They listen to me carefully.

GWB is a poker player but not a brick wall. He shares his feelings openly without laying all the cards face up. He is very smart and honest. I like smart more than intellectual.

Walk With Me

Walk with me, the path of life,
to explore every bend of the road
Enjoy with me the beauty of life,
along its wonderful way

Find comfort with me, in each other's arms,
when grief crosses our path
Find strength with me, in each other's strength,
when despair lies in wait

Laugh with me, a single true laugh,
to enlighten another's distress
Cry with me, a single true tear,
to understand true happiness

Cherish with me, the wonders of life,
as they need to be preserved
Rejoice with me, in the mysteries,
of what is yet to be

Find peace with me, in each other's souls,
when the world has gone insane
Find love with me, in each other's hearts,
until this life has been fulfilled

And when the path comes to an end
I hope we can say from within
We've known the beauty of true love,
our love came from within

Yup, he knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em!

Lantern Soft


Like a lantern soft
you comfort by
always forgiving me
Nevertheless you desire my
love
is the other softness

At speed a trike does require good steering skills. Brakes are always important.

Evanescence - Whisper

catch me as i fall.
say you're here and it's all over now.
speaking to the atmosphere.
no one's here and i fall into myself.
this truth drives me
into madness.
i know i can stop the pain
if i will it all away.

[chorus]
don't turn away.
(don't give in to the pain)
don't try to hide.
(though they're screaming your name)
don't close your eyes.
(god knows what lies behind them)
don't turn out the light.
(never sleep never die)

i'm frightened by what i see.
but somehow i know
that there's much more to come.
immobilized by my fear
and soon to be
blinded by tears.
i can stop the pain
if i will it all away.

[chorus]

fallen angels at my feet.
whispered voices at my ear.
death before my eyes.
lying next to me i fear.
she beckons me.
shall i give in?
upon my end shall i begin?
forsaking all i've fallen for
i rise to meet the end.

[chorus]

Partly both.
It could also be a one line stand alone.

And, also, a small bit of inspiration from your quote and a bit of a drawing I did (self-portrait of just my eyes) for a sign.
Sign says "Haunted Eye Studios" with a set of eyes, mine, appearing between the first two words and the last one.
