Composition Of The Swans
By: Noah Eaton
10/9/01

Reach for the stars, love
What is it that you see?
Feels like performing an arabesque on the brightest star
Every time I look at you
Every time you look at me...

Moonlight kisses the pond like a stone breaking a glass house
In the soft composition of the swans
Landing in grand jete, falling into your loving arms
Gracefully jumping from heavens cloud
Gracefully jumping into your heart

Silver shadows scatter about in soigne bliss
Halcyon fingertips caressing my jumping heart
I would throw you a rose for every memory we share
Because I love you so...
Because you love me so...

Crystal Swan, spread your wings this bella norte
Wreath me into you, I'll touch your silky lips
Tread gently on your toe shoes, we'll share this night under the moon
On the night the swans cried...
On this night the swans sighed...

Noah, this is so lovely.  I love the swan motif.  *Sighs*, you sure do have a charismatic way with words...and those kissing smilies are way cute!  

This is a keeper!~

Take care,
Melissa~

Poetically beautiful and serene. Like a ballet of words.

Sincerely,
Regina
