Guests

[anirbas]

Friends that flit through my head
guesting in my thoughts

I wonder, do you like me,
remember, when once
upon a time,
we ran barefoot
through the halls
of old, playing tag
or slay the dragon
with our trusty swords
of cardboard gilt
with aluminum foil
purloined
from my mother's
kitchen cabinet?

[wistfuldragon]

Aye
I recall such times
when creative juices
ran wild with power...
I recall such times
as those when I
found myself unable to pull away for the night...

Aye...
I recall those times
when I felt most alive
belonging to our strange little group...

Aye...
I recall
as I miss
those times and ties...

*very awesome poem...even if...the times I recall are different than your's*

[anirbas]

Would that I could have spared
your dear heart any unease
in those times past and done...

Would that my pen were as trusty as my sword
and with it I could have written the story
you wanted, wished, needed to read...

Would that I were able to make magic
as a wizard or a weaver spinning
pictures from her fingertips...

Would that I were more than the sum
total of my pathetic life and its own memories
I'd fix your life and then I'd part the seas...

Truth is, all I am is all I is...I cannot fix or heal
anything or anyone...But, I can stand behind you
or beside you, whichever you need, when you need it...

[vulture]

I am as much a guest
of my own body as I am
of all the worlds I walk
in this life quest
I am engaged upon...

Birth thrust me onto this planet,
into this dimension of the go 'round...
Every moment I breathe is a moment
that can and could go oddly awry

When I dream I reach for the sky
While I'm awake I am a weaver,
stiching past, present and future
into a tapestry of vibrancy and hope

Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was I.
I was never a guest of the Pope
or the President. But, I still
hope someday to be a guest
in your house when I show up to play

~here...

come sit with me by the fire
let us warm our bones
before from this day we retire

may the shared company
we find betwixt and between
thee and me inspire us to remember

who we were...show us who we are now...
and prepare us for who we will be in the future...

come, sit with me by the fire of our dreams to come and be...

I'll remember you...You will remember me...
And together, we will remember we matter...

[wistfuldragon]

Shall I throw a large log on that fire
stoke it to it's fullest warmth...yes I believe I shall

All you are is all I need
and yes my dear one
you have taken those said places
behind me to help me stand
beside me to help me walk
As well you've always been
exactly what I needed when I was in needing...
Yet...
I feel at times I have not returned the boon
for you as I should have, could have
For that I say deeply from the heart
I am sorry and shall amend it from now on
We have shared so much, those memories
I pray will be the last I see when tis my time to go...

I fear I have not said enough
that you inspire me to greater heights
That I become breathless from the
power and creativity in your words
That from day one you have never
stopped amazing me with all that you are...
I love, respect, admire and am grateful
to you and the powers that be for bringing us together...

[anirbas]

~I See You...

Yes, yes, upon the fire
throw that log, sister.
For your company
I do so admire
and enjoy...

Let us sit
amongst the shadows
fire dancing across the walls,
channeling the past...
welcoming the future...
while living, breathing
in the present moment...
be it good, bad or sad...

Remembering
hail and welcome;
hellos and goodbyes;
sighs of contentment;
screams of dead dreams...

We will bang our thoughts together...
We will do the Thunderbird Dance...
We will chase the wind from the broad
backs of accommodating dragons...
We will sip from precious flagons
of shared and ever expanding memories...

We will find camaraderie if not answers...
We will find everything is nothing...
and nothing...nothing
is everything...

Here, with you...
Here, with me...
By the fire,
mon ami...
I see you...
