"The Sacking of York, A Dragons Tale..."

I'll pluck you up and set you right,
Square upon my knee...
Cast within your mind a tale, of wonders, tall and wee. ..

The Lady Caridwen, whose like you'll take, shall dine and drink till thirst is slake. ..
Round fire and stone we'll Dance and Sing,
Our hearts aloft o'er Faye's bright ring. ..

As Children play, tween legs at dance, hearts will float, skip and prance. ..
All will come at least to rest, afore my feet to hearken fast. ..

This tale is one where distance parts,  an ancient love of fate paired hearts. ..
Dragons born on distant shores, resigned to Dreams where both may Soar. .

Aloft the pair both Soar and glide, nary a care or thought to hide. ..
Cross boundless space and time they dance,
As you did round the fire prance. ..

Their Dance cut short by clamor's din, they spied fair York with awful grin. ..
They lit up, the town with flame,
A burning shower of molten rain. ..

Once spent and sure their passions sate, they took to sky, their dreams near late. ..
On wing and prayer, cross glade And Tor,
Again to rest on separate Shore. ..

Thus ends this tale, and now you know. ..
Of Dragon love and lust and Woe...
With thirst right quenched, I bottle cork,
And know you now the truth of York. ..

Questions...

Where there is question,  there is room to evolve.. 

where there is an answer, there is a spirit taking the next step...

Shall we take a walk?

Among us...

The God's / Goddesses walk among us, not because they can but because they must...
What are we if nothing without the other...

A Father to Son,
Mother to Daughter, hand to back, hand to hand...

Both Man and God alike fall on dark times, not when thoughts of neglect of the other strike but when we lose sight of the others presence for our own preoccupation of the Mundane.

Remember my words when you fear the dark and mundane, in the joy of a heart felt tear shed in the light of an awakened glance of me, here at your side...

Know that my chest shudders
alongside your own...
Knowing...
WE WALK AMONG YOU!!!!

The Big Z...

For anyone still holding on to the belief that ZOMBIES are not real? ..

* Conversation overheard by a second floor tenant in a South Beach Condo. .. *

Billy: [7 years old, peering thru the bathroom door from the hall]
" MOM. .. (pause)
MOM. .. ( more insistent)...

Mom: [from the kitchen making breakfast]
" STEVEN #@!%%.... STOP SHOOTING THE ZOMBIES!!!

Steven: [ after muffled rants and threats towards Billy ]
" But MOM  .??? "

Mom:
" NO BUTS STEVEN! !!

I will stick your hand out the window and let them bite you!!! "

Steven: [sulking. ..]

What a sight. ..

What a sight I must look, you there, lying beside me on the couch. ..
Gazing at you, thru half lidded eyes... un seeing yet knowing. ..
Drunk with a days exhaustion I cannot help myself but wonder as I reach for you yet again. ..

Dare I cup your spine within the crook of my Palm as I lift you once more, laid bare and exposed before these wanting. .. needing. .. eyes.
Will You Yield your inner secrets. .. passions. .. As my fingers search with a hunger perpetually yearning for. .. MORE?

Do you feel? Can you sense the desire coursing just beneath the calloused surface of my finger tips?
Do you take notice of the heat caused by your contact with my very Soul, as I see with my Minds eye, all that is revealed? Given? Taken? In the lightest of touches?

Admittedly, there have been others before you, and yes, as unique as each had been, I have sucumb to exaustion with each, in their turn. .. to awake with them comfortably beside me or laid open atop my slowly rising chest.
Memories of the experience slowly replaying as the previous nights efforts brought renewed vigor and interest.

Tonight however, it is You who rests beside me. ..
Stretching to take you once again within my grasp, a smile plays across my whetted lips. .. As I moisten my finger tips lightly. .. cooling them with a breath. ..
Anticipations. ..

Ooohhh, what the sighted must miss! !!

Seduction

Psssst...

I AM FREE!!!!

I saw you there, together. For the breadth of a skipped beat from my heart I knew ENVY. ..
Yet within the ETERNAL span from that to the next, I...
Saw you with such clarity as too Feel the warmth in the glow of your radiant complexion. ..
Felt my mind sway to the rhythm of the pulse coursing just beneath the taught skin at the base of your bent neck. ..
Heard the rushing of echos as breath,... caught, ripped, marked, the moment in time. ..
Tasted the Scent of YOUR ESSENCE! !! As my tongue relived the the memories of you on parted lips. ..

"What does he have that I do not? Certainly not YOU. ..

WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY MATTER?

ENVY?
NOT WITH THIS MIND. .. "

I AM FREE!  !!

Hate...

Be it Jekle or Hyde... or Puddintain...

Questions...

Share with me a moment of frivolity brought on by a simple yet over simplified and oft tossed about question...

[Polite conversation, as typical betweeen dearest of friends...]

"Anyway, how is your day?"

"" Just... [revelation] WAIT...
    It's not like the last...
    Nor like the next...
    It's not over yet...
    So I'd best remain wake...
    What will i see...
    When my next Blink through...
    A glimpse of the past? ...
    Or...
    A vision of You...
    Hmmmmmmm...
    Today is a day...
    Unlike any other...
    I like it that way...
    I'd like it no other...
    So ask me again...
    And I'll beg you relent...
    Look back on my words...
    For my thoughts are now spent... ""

I've suggested on many occassions , " A more thoughtful and meaningful conversation might arise from the statement... Tell ME about YOUR day... "
