Gypsy Moth

Oh gypsy moth please dance a feign
My feet are trance in marriage chain
They weigh upon my scale of mind
And leave no balance there to find.

I’ve tamed the dragon at the door
He doesn’t guard me any more.
Yet I am caught in the abyss
By the fervency of bliss

It’s locked around my very goal
And blocked the door into my soul
And brought my infinite to bow
And turned it holier than thou.

And I am bound a Gordian knot
Whose weave has made my spirits clot?
Promises of golden ties
Mostly truth and non were lies

So why oh why do I feel like this
Is there a floor in human bliss?

THIS? May very well be the saddest sigh I've heard from you in the morn:

"I’ve tamed the dragon at the door
He doesn’t guard me any more."



I would raise my mug of coffee to ya, if that were what I had to drink...

Sometimes even human beings
find in things that do not seem
boundless by any weight
and yet all humans, bound by fate...

Smiling with you, for the Moth...she'll be back...

As I flitter about Passions, there are some I often read; a few I never miss the opportunity to experience and enjoy.  You sir, are the latter.  Enjoyed the read.

Well, that is something to ponder, alright; I shall think about it all day. Thank you for inciting my mind.
Most of your poems do that, so guess that is not a surprise. Very enjoyable read.

Warmly,

That Randy dragon has not been tamed ...
he's just feeling caged and chained.
He needs a flight of fancy free ...
he needs to come kiss the sky with me.

Tell him to head Eden bound ...
I'll bet he'll start to come around.
Tell him to Shangri-La we will soar ...
I bet that will make Randy roar.

We'll fly over the ocean blue ...
we'll ride rainbows of the brightest hue.
We'll spark the stars and hang the moon ...
We wont come home till Randy remembers how to swoon.

Now if Randy's too tired to do these things with me ...
I'll come over and bring him some special raspberry tea.
Sit him in his favorite chair ... listen to his dreamers dare.
Rub his tired dragon toes ... kiss him on his Randy nose.

There's more than one way to make a dragon fly ...
we can do it in the sky ... or do it in poetic sigh.

serenity,
We all sigh some a little deeper than others.

Sunshine,
Sighs go with the territory.

Tim,
A delightful comment to read, thank you.

Pat,
It's always a pleasure to read your replys.
Have a good one.

Elizabeth,
Well I guess one flutter leads to another.
LOL, thank you dear.

JM,
Your poetry just got me pushed out of the chair by Randy, he said not to wait up for him he don't know when he'll be home.
Thank you Tink, I just get these low spells once in a while. Nothing to worry.
Take care. WWRS
