Arrival
By: Noah Eaton
2/19/01

I wait patiently as I search about
Body on fire beneath my skin, a heart seared in desire
Avulsed of dark thoughts of before, times skin shed away like that of a snake
Restored with His faith, basked in scar tissue polished in hopes fire

Emerging from the shadows, this lovesick soul now steps out to seek love missing before
Remnants of pain bubbling into desire, yearning for love, created due to a lovelorn past
Willing to run the errand of turning on hearts fire hydrant, but must be obligated to seek the one who shares my heart first
Must struggle through the Indian summer that has erupted in me, hope to see an end pop up soon in my flesh and bloods almanac

I go to bed at night, images of her love loosen up into my mind
Into her arms I fly, embracing her in the otherworld
Touching you with all the words I’ve always waited to say
Turning my heart around like a pinwheel, heart beating fast, my head twirls

I awaken in a light sweat, accepting the fact that it was just a dream
Still I move on certain that what I’m looking for approaches me closer every time around
Praying to Thee that the one who shares my heart will appear before my eyes, while dreaming on of my dream machine
Keeping patient, keeping this lighter pain out of my system in enjoying life, pulling out of the roundabout

And so I climb the mountains of desire, working up to the crest
Levitating in the wake of faith, going all out with the joys and fun of youth
Never looking down, never turning back, living up to every moment
Dreaming on, never altering the words of the truth

And I will always be there on the meadow of my heart, sweetheart
Ready to welcome your arrival
Into my heart with yours
In loves magic, on the glorious day when true love unfolds

It will happen Noah it will happen! I like the way you describe the anticipation of the arrival......wonderful adjectives and metaphors...great writing!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
