i paint

i paint the world as i want it to be
in vibrant colors, with good company
where everything is built to last
never fading. nor looking past
where love and kindness, empathy
compassion
are not the enemy
but are the permanent fashion
i paint a world where i can survive
and where it is not such a battle
to stay alive

happy everyday

There are all different
Kinds of family
You are you
I am me
But the love that is there
Is so really, real
Maybe hard to describe
But easy to feel
And when you are there
Know that you are blessed
And if others do not,

Ignore the rest

the world according to the bucky boy

my name is bucky boy
and i live to play
so glad that your house
is now in my way
if the door is open,
that room i will
go through it
whatever is not nailed down
i will gladly chew it
if your shoes are in range
i would love to munch
nothing like brand new sneakers
as a snack before lunch
that watch you got when
you graduated from high school?
i stopped time with my puppy teeth
a-roooo ain't that cool!!!
and furniture, no problemo
wood does good fiber make
that dining room set
a great teething break
yes i am part wolf and i
like to howl
but take away my food
and i may start to growl
you are humans, that is
very clear
but three guesses who
is the alpha here

RIP bucky boy
homewrecker par excellence

and sorely missed

dragonfyre, part 1

there was a time when the world was inhabited by men and dragons. together they forged an alliance, based upon mutual trust and respect. the dragons ruled the skies, soaring, playing, searching for caves. they would go on man's land to feed, but only took what man himnself did not need.
man, ruled the earth. he planted, he hunted for food, clothing, shelter. he never lay bare a species of plant or animal, always leaving enough for his winged brethren. he looked to the skies with wonder; dragons flying, birds gliding effortlessly. he did not aim any weaponry at that domain. the sky was not his.

men had settlements scattered everywhere. dragons picked caves close enough to keep a watchful eye, but far enough away for privacy. this alliance was a sound one, but maintained by a sense of sleeping with one eye open. this co-existence proved beneficial to both parties.

the dragons would breathe enough fire to clear land for man to build. the humans would not hunt any wildlife, so the dragons had an ample supply of food. water was bountiful and both species peacefully shared. the earth was green, lush and plentiful, trees growing where trees were meant to grow, hot desert sands in their place, warm languid rainforests flourished.

the dragons surveyed all on this planet. it is said that men would not go anywhere that the dragons had not gone to first. it is also said that the dragons would only take man to places he could live safely, and in harmony, with.

for centuries, the planet and all its inhabitants thrived under this well forged partnership. the garden was never depleted, by man, dragon or mother earth. the earth mother was pleased with her children, and regalled them gentle weather. storms teased but were never torrential.

we

We stand together
We are as one
When we arise
When the nightfall
Has come
We are of blood
We are friends
There is no beginning
And there will not

Be an end

The purple dragon

Lives in the sky

she lives to play

she  lives to fly

And though she admires

The world below,

she knows it is not

A safe place to go

with guarded steps i walk this earth
sometimes in sorrow
sometimes in mirth
sometimes alone,
other times with
a friend
i wish this walk
would never end
