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...

Welcome to the new thread


The Dragon Flies Lair - Thread 1

[Darksheare]

New thread.
Okay, we need to get the furniture over here.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Yep! I'll carry the lamps.

[Soaring Feather]

Okay Dark you want the lawn furniture here? We can do that!LOL

[Darksheare]

'Fridge is already over here.
Must be some kind of thread weirdness.
I'll go get the couch.

[snippy_about_it]

I got the lawn furniture already feather, no worries. SAM's out back cooking on the grill. ;)



feather's backyard

[Darksheare]

*muffled*
Don't worry about the indoor stuff, in the minor time the thread was dead, the furniture chased me back here.
Now I'm under the rug, coffee table on my back, and the couch resting two feet on me.
Great part of it is, my back doesn't hurt now.

[Soaring Feather]

My Back Yard!

My Clematis

Just Flowers in my back yard.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL.

Thanks, now get up from under all that stuff, get comfortable and write some sweet poetry. ;)

[SAMWolf]

I brought all I need.

[Darksheare]

I never could grow clematis.
*quietly wriggling from under the furniture*
Well, it's all here.

Now, for some inspiration.

[snippy_about_it]

Now we can relax and write!

[Soaring Feather]

I planted the clematis in the summer of 1996. This year there were over 100 blooms on it.

[Soaring Feather]

Nice couch Sam! Thanks so much, now you got milk?? LOL

[Darksheare]

*in air fist pump*
Allright!

And now music lyrics
Amy Lee on vocals.
Ben Moody on music

Evanescence - Before The Dawn


Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I want nothing more than to see you there
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

(Chorus)
Somehow I know that we can't wake again from this dream
It's not real, but it's ours

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

[Darksheare]

Hmm.
I have no luck with things that don't have thorns.
(?)

How odd.

[snippy_about_it]

That's nice Darksheare.

[Soaring Feather]

Swell fireplace snippy, the temp is going down tonight.

[snippy_about_it]

quiet night by the fireside
snuggled up on the couch

marshmallows nearby
I fall asleep

Then that oh so familiar smell
burnt, flaming marshmallows

SAM and Darksheare!!!
what have you two been up to?


LOL. Sorry feather, couldn't resist.

[SAMWolf]

No, but I am sucking down a Frappacino Mocha Malt

[Darksheare]

Dance and whirl flicker and glow
Roil and wave as a shimmering haze
Embers of the heart, flame of my love
From the ashes a flame rekindle
To rise phoenix like once more

[Darksheare]

It's early stuff by teh band "Evanescence"
Some of it reads almost like a poem.
Sometimes hard to think that they're classified as 'Gothic Rock'...

[SAMWolf]

I love the smell of flaming marshmallows at night....

[Soaring Feather]

Twas not a lover the jilted me
that caused me to bleed
be sad and disappointed
twas a lady friend or so I
thought, who stab the knife
in my side,
told me to leave a place
I had loved so dear
I help build a cyber home
then found I had not a place
to hang my hat...
Oh well, I don't bleed anymore
my conscience is clean
there is no in-between
I am okay and will live
to make new friends today

[Soaring Feather]

Dang those guys anyway!! Can't trust them one minute can we snippy??

[snippy_about_it]

Yep. That's why we've got to keep our eye on 'em. ;)

[Darksheare]

Ouch.
Sounds almost like my rantings.
Hopefully I am not rubbing off on anyone.

But I like it as well.

[Soaring Feather]

I'm off to write a poem, will be back to post it.

[Darksheare]

Psst, Sam..
you run one way, I'll run the other.
There's no way they can keep both eyes on both of us at the same time.
And someone somewhere will read all this later and either be nspired, or be driven mad...

[SAMWolf]

Break left, I'll break right. GO!!!!!!!!!

[Darksheare]

Well, will go drop myself in my packing crate for the evening.

Ping-ed gang-ed, and anyone I missed, new poetry thread.
Read whatever gets posted, post poetry of your own, even if it is 'just to cleanse the soul'.
Or just lurk, that's okers as well.
Have fun, and good evening.

(

[Darksheare]

*Running*

[snippy_about_it]

Good night Darksheare.

I believe we'll all go mad, but let's try to go mad together.

Run all you want boys, you'll be back, after all, we've got the food!

[snippy_about_it]

Good night Darksheare.

I believe we'll all go mad, but let's try to go mad together.

Run all you want boys, you'll be back, after all, we've got the food!

[Darkchylde]

Well, are we all settled in?
Good, now I'll tell you the story of the mysterious
magical loofah! Okay, so I'm joking, there is no such
story... yet(?). As it is all snippy's fault (pointing
out before hand), I have a haiku... again. Two actually.

Looking in your eyes,
I get lost in the moment.
I must be dreaming.

Surrender to me,
be my love forever more.
We two shall be one.

[Darksheare]

Egads, she's right!
We shoulda grabbed the chips and the chip dip!

Well, it has been theorised that artistic types suffer from some form of mental disorder or another.
So, technically, we may be mad together as it sits.
And it's fun!

[SAMWolf]

I grabbed a couple boxes of C-Rats on the way out that should hold us till tomorrow.

[snippy_about_it]

Dang it. You are a wise man. I guess we won't see you til breakfast. Bring the coffee. ;)

[snippy_about_it]

good night sam my friend
poetry will have to wait
i hate the time zones

[snippy_about_it]

wishful thinking
fantasies

I dare not whisper
what I want to say

If I continue with these imaginations
I will only disappoint myself

what am I to do
about you
about me
about us?

I'll never leave you
our friendship secure
so what's wrong in wanting more?

I want the us in my dreams to become real
even if only for one sweet moment

one moment to share
the totality of you

I want more of you
intimately

so you blush
what else do you think about
when you read my heart?

do you wish my thoughts would go away
do you wish I didn't feel this way?

do you wish?

[snippy_about_it]

I know I said in my previous post no poetry tonight, but alas, I couldn't sleep and had to get it out of my head onto "paper", so to speak.

Goodnight.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, sleep well little one!

In your packing crate you go
slumber soft and slumber low
and dream your dreams you
sleepy head, see you tomorrow
under the bed!

[Soaring Feather]

Good night snippy, lovely poem BTW.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night poets in the Lair
May your muse be kind
your sleep be deep
your dreams be rare
your morning bright
and your love sublime

Love, just lovely, Chylde.

[SAMWolf]

Good Night Snippy.

[SAMWolf]

Those are good haiku.

[SAMWolf]

I could spend a week trying to write to a poem half as good as yours.

the past and present
wishes for what might have been
dreams of what could be

[Soaring Feather]

What was it you said to me,
you did not understand love,
I don't either, I just like
the way I feel when
I am cared about, respected,
honored, cherished, and pampered.

I like those secret little smiles
those little glances out of the
corner of your eye
the little dimple in your chin
and that oh so coy silly grin
or the way you'll take my hand
to your face and just touch
my skin with a lite touch of
your warm lips...
No I really don't know love
at all, but I sure do love
the way your voice
sounds on the other end of the phone
and your special laugh when you're
embarrassed, oh yes, I love to be loved
by you....
But I really don't know love at all.
