Thomas Binford Poem
When You Are Old
On a special night when you are old and waiting for sleep
Remember me and this appointment you promised to keep
Take out these pages my love and slowly read
Of the days gone past and dream of the love we need
Feel the warmth of our embraces, see the looks of love in our eyes
Dream of the times we shared before the shadows come and the day dies
Surrender to passions throws beneath a blanket of stars aglow
Relive the surges of love's desires that we made grow
Give yourself again to those gladdest moments of lust and grace
Shared with this one man that loved every expression on your beautiful face
We two are bound by an unbreakable tether
To be lovers forever

Thomas Binford Poem
To Melt a Woman's Heart
A magical incantation to melt a woman's heart.
Sending electric tingles racing through her every part.
A sweet succulent enveloping delirium she will find.
As thoughts of the purest desire swirl through her mind.
A magic spell where each word is crafted with the utmost care.
To bring her such a raging passion that's far beyond compare.
She becomes a blazing Phoenix rising with her fiery might.
For love's sake, she's remade to burn our bed throughout the night.
Charged with the almighty power of love are her arms.
Such that no man may ever resist her womanly charms.
Her exhale is sweet as honey and her moist lips are the most divine.
A magnificent breath stealing shape and silhouette in every curve and line.
The spell is cast and carried word for word in this magic rhyme.
So that we two may be lovers until the end of time.

Thomas Binford Poem
The Dragon Riders Saga V
So many heroes had died that fated day, never again to fight
The only one to survive was standing over the Mage that night
Both had stood alone upon that once fabled battleground
The death screams of the dying Mage now the only sound
He let out one last deafening scream a crying evil lust
And everything that has been evil vanished into the dust
With his last ounce of strength the rider lifted his magic blade
Proclaiming the triumph of light over the darkness that evil had made
They had dodged so many death blows, neither gaining the upper hand
But this day light prevailed and defeated all that evil had planned
Evil had grown strong in time, and all too soon it had gotten loose
Poisoned the Earth and letting Hell's demons slip their noose
Battles fought and raged on ever front on the land and in the skies
Blood had been spilled without measure amid deaths horrid battle cries
The demons had found a master of magic and the darkness held them tight
They had feasted off of death and misery with unworldly delight
But the spirit of man dipped in courage and gallantry
Risked all, willing to die for what they believed, liberty
The hero they had chosen was a Dragon rider and a prince
His blood lines deep and noble, none like him before or since
Equipped with armor, sword, and shield he fought the demons well
And when they stood face to face came the evil's death knell
Over the centuries this heroic tale had gotten lost somehow
All they had sacrificed forgotten, well until now
So remember history can repeat itself should that knowledge we spurn
And then the evil will yet get another chance to return

Thomas Binford Poem
Courage
Courage gives us the strength to jump life's gaps
But the unknown road to courage has no maps
For most it stays locked away somewhere inside
They never discover that place where it finds to hide
Courage is locked away and the key to it they never find
Fear keeps them from the key hidden in a corner of their mind
The path of life has many a strange trail
Lacking courage is why many of us fail
I don't know where it is that courage has been stowed
It kind of follows along emotions tough road
Sometimes your conviction to anger it stops
Other times, right beside fear, it just plops
Courage takes no sides, no favorites that it plays
It can be impressive, or simple as a kiss some days
But courage lays there inside of us all
Waiting for each one of us to make the call
When we summon up courage to come to our aid
What most consider impossible, we see get made
Courage can be there in our darkest hours
But we must call on courage and make it ours
The simplest fact is that good or bad
All those life changing days we've all had
They put a marker on our path in life
We hope the next life change brings us no more strife
A hand full of days change us and makes us who we are
Shapes us into what we've become, and puts us on our par
It makes us what everyone sees and shapes how we speak when we talk
Put us on the path in life that we walk
They usually happen on big event days
Getting married, and our first kid changes our ways
But they happen on days that seem like nothing that day
Yet they can be so huge that they take our breathe away
The point is, courage is something that you can't buy
It's inside us, find it or don't there is no try
If we don't, if we are weak and we pale
If we don't find our courage, then we fail
Courage is required for everything we seek
Even more to win Love, for when there we're weak
The wind never catches in Love's sail
If we don't find our courage, even at Love we fail!

Thomas Binford Poem
I Write
That which springs from my muse I write
To illuminate minds and set it forth right
At least that is what I try to do
FYI... between me and you
At times the words make a jumbled mess
The jam up my thoughts and bring so much stress
Then comes that internal combat of the mortal kind
Which wins, my muse, or the tangled words I find
This way and that, back and forth, and yet nothing works
Delete and try again, hoping to get past these maddening quirks
The words fight back
They force me off track
I attack from the flank, but to no avail
I retreat, regroup, and charge, but I fail
I feel the fire in my mind burning my head
As I pile more words on the pyre of the burning and the dead
I come again for another attack, but still no luck
Why do the words fight me so, I feel dunbstruck
My eyes grow weary and my energy may fade
Sometimes tomorrow sees what was broken get remade
Tomorrow again I will try
This is do or die
Here I am the master
Yet the words can become a disaster
Then I find a new path, and clear the way
For this is a new day
The tangled words can only lose
Becuase for me to quit...I refuse!
In the end, no matter how long it may be
On top of this mountain there will be me

Thomas Binford Poem
The Dragon Riders Saga IV
Suddenly the hot breath if death came searing upon his back
As he turned around the creature ever quickly did attack
Thrown from the cave he turned and arched hard into a dive
Speed he needed in the air to turn sharp enough to survive
His enemy was cold blooded, heartless, and expertly precise
What he saw attacking turned his Dragon blood to ice
Taricrex diving his claws extended and his eyes a burning red glow
The evil had consumed him that was easy to see from his show
I've no wish to fight you, he was looking into Taricrex's eye
Then Taricrex said "take your look around for it's here and now you die!"
Taricrex swung his mighty claws, but for so long he'd had to prepare
A quick move and all that mighty Taricrex got was open air
In return to counter he lashed out with his own mighty Dragon claw
He heard the sound or ripping flesh and saw blood gush from Taricrex's jaw
Taricrex in his frustration wiped the blood from his chin
Then Dragon fire shot forth from somewhere deep within
Quick to move and he shot right back hard with his own spew
The sky turned to a blazing inferno and flames came through
They fought a hellish battle for many hours locked fighting in flight
Fire, flesh, and blood flew with no end anywhere in sight
Taricrex struck him with his giant claws, a direct hit
A huge mistake and maybe the last that he'd ever get
Across the lake and hard against the cliff he fell
He heard his ribs breaking as he slid towards a fiery hell
To come to a stop for a short time, but not long
Taricrex swooped in ready to fight ever strong
Resolve came flooding back and quickly filled his eye
If he were to die this day then let it be in the sky
Wings outstretched and up to finish this campaign
He summoned all his strength and forgot his pain
They hit so hard in midair it was heard for a mile
When the Dragon eyes opened again he saw the Princess smile
The fire of Blood Mountain Lake had closed over Taricrex after his fall
They has tumbled from the air knotted in a giant ball
As they hit the cliff he hung upon a ledge as Taricrex fell
He'd survived the day and mighty Taricrex was consumed in the fires from Hell
Without Taricrex's Dragon magic the Mage faced the rider in the cave
It was now this was to become the Mage's grave
For with the antiquities rune inscribed sword he struck a mighty blow
And cleaved the Mage in half, and now all shall know

Thomas Binford Poem
Captain Nemo,
I; Captain Nemo from the silent darkness of the deep search for a rare lost treasure that vanished so very long ago.
Keenly my periscope surveys the shores, scanning intently as through the dark of the deep the Nautilus does silently go.
Always stealthy, yet when the magnificent Nautilus surfaces at any port, the grandest of entrances she makes there putting on such a show.`
The genius in building the wondrous Nautilus everyone can see, with the grandeur of the spectacular Nautilus giving them all such a glow.
From the elegant state rooms decorated in ornate gold, to the lavish meals in the opulent dinning room, then dancing in a room fit for a ball.
Around each corner some fantastic new way, enamoring everyone because the beautiful and stately, awe inspiring Nautilus captivated them all.
Yet even with such riches, I remain the sole commander of the deep, here all alone in my fortress of solitude, by my hand and mind's iron will.
Searching everywhere for that long ago vanished treasure, never content until my one true soul mate I may find... until...
That rarest of rare treasures stops always beckoning unto me from somewhere that I must find, “out there!”
Doomed to travel the world if that is what must be, combing the lands to seek out my soul mate so fair.
To ever so gently take her by her delicate hand on the most amazing trip of a lifetime there together at the bottom of the sea.
Sharing all this whole world has to offer with my soul mate, as Love abounds on the Nautilus living our lives wild and free.
Alas she has been nowhere to be found as yet, and I pursue my vigilant task to find my soul mate true.
No matter where you may be, that place I will some day find, and never relent on this daunting search until I find you.
Remaining ever stealthy hidden in the darkest keep, yet always hunting for you my soul mate with whom our love forever more stays.
Traveling in the wonders of the majestic Nautilus to all parts of the world, happily ever after unto the very last of our many days.

Thomas Binford Poem
The Dragon Riders Saga II
The Dragon had returned to the clearing where he'd left his rider near neardeath
Hearing the strange tale brought mission purpose back and fire to his breath
A healer had found his friend somehow from the the universe of magic unknown
Now time was precious and running out their mission together again had grown
Just then to the Dragon came a voice upon the wind, was this sorcery?
A voice he had heard before long ago and was not mistakable or a forgery
His rider was the only one to ever communicate this way, prophecy had sworn
Something that was trained into them from the time they both were born
I'm the Princess of the Elves, you may know my name as I'm Oshshewelle
I have returned life to your rider he's now alive and will do well
The Dragon listened closely and his riders heart was now beating so strong
He thought can I trust this elf and what if I may be foolish and wrong
My rider and I are ready to fight again he thought back to the elven princess
To defeat this spell of evil darkness will be the end and our success
I gave your rider a talisman for the magic you'll need to win this fight
To Blood Mountain Lake you two must make this battle in flight this night
Take the Golden Armor and shield forged by magic wizardry in the art of steel
To protect you from the magic of the Mage's spells he will cast with zeal
To break the blackest enchantment it's guardian you two must defeat
Like you, a Dragon born of legend, there it's Taricrex you'll meet
Tis insanity that you speak of the Dragon screamed to the Princess elf
Tis suicide you ask of us! This quest of yours is purest madness itself
Even if we have the Golden Armor, shield, and antiquities rune inscribed sword
You know prophecy, the only one to wield them must by birthright be a lord
Not for may centuries has there been one with royal blood flowing in his veins
Tis magic trickery you speak with, I have long known there are none who remains
Your rider has all these and you were never told for good reason he has the blood too
He was not born a rider, he was hidden, I speak only the truth to you
This secret is entrusted to you for right now, with your rider it's not yet shared
For this he cannot yet know, and surly not until he is much more prepared

Thomas Binford Poem
I whispered your name beckoning to you on the evening wind
Come to me my beloved and let our souls blend
My heart sings to you and my arms are open wide
I'm praying while waiting for you to be by my side
Hear my spirit calling to you from across the vastness of time and space
Right here beside me, my only love is your destined place
Make this fantasy of mine real and fulfill passions every need
Listen to the wind my love for it carries to you my deepest desires seed
Come to me and rest my fevered head upon your tender breast
Come to me my love and put this burning desire to rest
Come to me and heed my siren's call
Come to me my beloved, surrender to love and have it all

Thomas Binford Poem
Baby Dream Of Me
You said“Baby dream of me” as you put it in your letter,
"My Love dream, and dream of us in love together”; even better!
That night as I lay down I was thinking of you here in our bed,
In my dream the visions of your loveliness danced in my head.
In my first dream of us covered in bubbles together there in the bath,
Your beauty was so overwhelming that our Love had a clear path.
The heat of the moment filled the air with passions delerious cries!
Desire was a raging inferno reflected in your gorgeous eyes.
My next dream, seemed like paradise, I think it was Hawaii!
Alone on the beach with your beauty out in the Sun meant only for me.
Touching and kissing for hours with you just as pretty as we please,
Sharing our feelings soaking up the sun and that cool ocean breeze.
My last dream of you was the best, better than all the others for me,
The dream of my deepest desire that I hoped and prayed one day to be.
The warmth and your Love there with me each night,
Your beauty shared over dinners together by candlelight.
I awoke from my dream, and before I went to rise,
Ever so slowly I rubbed the sleep from my weary eyes.
Surprised the instant I went to rise from our bed,
My dream was granted, across my chest rubbed your arm and head...
