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... *wink* |

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... |

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, Pat ![]() ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

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. ![]() *winkiewinkie* ![]() ![]() ![]() |

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 ![]() ![]() ![]() |
