• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Okapi Kingdom

It must have been a horde of crazy okapis
Dancing in celebration of the nocturnal rites.

I saw the circle twinkles in the triangle cover.
They whispered between themselves about forms and shapes and geometry,
I think we all had the same idea,
When you see a mountain, you must build it inside the earth for it to grow like flowers on dried out soil.

Oui, I would like a cup of coffee to go with the construction.
And maybe a croissant, just to get started.
Yes, I'm a hungry crocodile and I've got a lizard army to stack high the fungi,
But we need feeding!

Fuck you think? Said the sun to the earth
Can't grow mountains on that soil, it's like we only wanted green hills
I'll send the doctor over.
He doesn't want our sanity but he does want a house to stay,
(and a pulse of red flashed through the universe like a LED lamp on a radio).

Swirling masses of nebulae turning into the Grand Okapi Kingdom,
Mushrooms growing and Luigi's jumping on a trampoline.
The mountain in the background becomes a giant Everest,
But we don't tap its spring water because it's polluted with the essence of yuckiness!

Walking through the Amazon's carbon copy rainforest,
Our footprint exceeding that of the Moon:
We smile with giant cacophony, and hope it catches on on the seventh-dimensional plane of tentacled squids.

And the mountain stands tall.
The okapis swarm, dead zombies on a mass of white snow, green grass, and bare rock.
The crocodiles swim in its salty seas under the caverns of marble...

And I? I witness the painting of a future no one knows
and a past no one recalls
and a present no one wants to remember.
For fuck's sake, get me a life!
One that I can cherish when tomorrow's okapis die.
 
Ambassador of Pain

I lost control when I saw the eyes of fire within you smothered
There was nothing left but the cold, dark mountains of ice
And they crushed the travelling boat like a massive piece of junk
Just waiting to be destroyed by the incoming fatal blow

I am that ship's captain and I carry the flag for the crew
The one all of us would never forget to talk to when something's wrong
I organise and I send out, I command and I question the world
But it's not enough when the force of nature is against us all

The SS Misery left the port of Rotterdam two years ago for better waters
But the winds blew us completely off the course of our lives
We made do with the rows and oars that we had at our disposal
And even then we did not think that we'd make it to the South Pole

But just as we saw the snowcapped peaks of the Antarctic appear
And a penguin dived around the sides of the trawling little boat
The crew got horribly seasick a few times along the miserable ocean way
In search of fresh pastures we only found frigid barren snow

And now, the seal of pain lies still in the cold roaring waters
In places even sea lions dare not venture and where whales don't dwell
And the ambassador floated to the bottom of the freezing sea
I blew my last bubble trying to find just the little warmth I could.
