Life as we live it…  Anyway, today was an “interesting” day.  I got to talk to a number of people around the world.  This IS Friday and Saturday in the cities around the world.  What do MOST …people…do on Friday and Saturday nights - in cities …around the world? 

 

They go out and …PARTY!  And they PARTY HARD!  Fast… Loud… Furious!  And they party LONG!  But there’s more to partying than just the fun and games.  It’s all in the people … ones being two’s, two’s being one’s… searching through all the flames… finding out just who IS behind the eyes you’re looking in…

 

"Here Be Dragons... "

 

A Friday's eve - the sounds and sights

signs of such kaleidoscope moments

of-one-after-another and together

flows tones of languid heat for those

- risings and fallings and chilling memes -

as music echoes poised on forevers

to the eyes and I(s) and weavings’ delighted

motions and movings as

muscles tensing in the throes of passions 

existing and being borne and swung

as limbs find angles and angels smile

winding and forming shadows of light

as the whisperers’ minds grasp and gasp

and shimmy-make-shakes

of pulsing heat and the seems      EXPLODE

within thoughts of smooth mellow lips

that cascade across skin and such fingers found

caressing the night - beginning again-and-again

and again as still more eyes arrive to seek and bring... 

the sheer FEEL of sin and might-could-be(s)

imagines and melodies - harmonies, wishings too

as the newfound senses of such Dragon’s  light

and silken sways  left then RIGHT then

where all the hearts are full of want 

and The NEED

and oh-....-God the very air …alive

and strewn with fragrant fragments and

myst's burning blooms

as tapestries of ageless magyks flow

forms as the endless whispers grow

as shes in all their faire-semblance sleek

glisten and glimmer with such supple burning

bring…

me

HERE

where Be THE Dragons of all life

past, present, and yet to be

each she - as in their hearts and minds 

… BE the secret held in her soul.

“Here Be THE Dragon…”

...The Dragon...

And I…gaze into dream’s breath

And hold my own.

These dragons remind me of a Chinese New Year Festival. That's what I see here. And your words are as evocative as ever.

A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem) is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture"
