She was a waitress at a Coney Dog Restaurant

Oh, Firefly, drifting o'er the meadow,
with golden flame aglow...
would you embrace this gentle wind
and some sweet pleasure know?

Could you let me lift you high,
dancing in the breeze?
Would you receive my soft caress,
gliding through the trees?

Please listen to my whisper,
"Come fly with me tonight.
Hold me close and dance aloft,
til early morning's light."

Or could you be a candle bright,
as breezes soft caress?
Would you build into a flame,
Love's sweet passions to posess?

Oh come and dance with me sweet flame,
and passion's magic share,
then resting in love's sweet embrace...
abandon every care.

I wrote this poem inspired by a beautiful red haired girl I had seen in 1986. I am posting it inspired by one I saw on here just a few minutes ago. steven

Why bother dating a girl at all in that case? Just take some garlic and onions to dinner and set them across from you. That way you know you will be taking your date home with you, and if they accidentally fall in your lap during dinner, all the other restaurant patrons will not be staring in disbelief

Thanks to you all for the friendly welcome. I feel a good sense of comraderie here.

countrybelle, arent you cold?

I sit alone and contemplate
that I am as a craft upon the sea
with every element of nature
my friend or enemy

Through every type of weather
through darkness or the light
sunshine with work or pleasure
many, the storm tossed night

Though my course is set before me
I sometimes lose my way
sometimes tossed upon the sea
with bearings lost I stray

But in the compass of my heart
you are true north to me
and this, your love I cherish
my port of call shall be

So through the darkest night
or every sunny day
I set my sails and pray for wind
that I may come your way

Your love is like a lighthouse
which guides me on my way
your love is like a tower, high
to guide me through each day

The hope of love sustains me
though distant you may be
It is enough to know you love me
through all eternity

I am new to this site but in the few days I have been here I have enjoyed a lively assortment of messages and meeting of new and some old)friends. I look forward to sharing my poetry and life with you and hopefully just one special person may come into my life as as the frosting on an already good cake. steve
