It's hard being me with the imprints of you
following in my shadow.
When I turn to touch you and you are
unreachable, I feel tortured
by the memories of your eyes last steal,
your kiss of the moment being too short
for my need, as I isolate each frame of you
into my nights collective dreams.

I pause you where I like, placing you in the fate
of my mind, so that your darkness
wraps around the frail of me
and I find comfort in the silence
of kissing eyes.
Did you know I dream your colors,
deep shades of you
to keep the nights promises
from drifting away?
Did you know I have conditioned myself
to a ritual of you never leaving my side,
being imprisoned by love
throughout the seasons of change?

You are a maze to me, as I search the right path
to reach your heart, and capture it
to share a warm moment in time,
when you give your heart to me in trust
and the forgotten one, is forgotten, no more.

m,

i felt the longing and yearning in this...
your heart beautifully displayed. it's
so hard to have love and yet have it just
out of reach...*sighs* i know just how hard
my friend...take care.

(sigh) This is soooooo compassionately heartfelt, sweet friedn, and may your search be complete forever more and may loves trust always come between you and tie the knot between your heart and his! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I pause you where I like, placing you in the fate
of my mind, so that your darkness
wraps around the frail of me
and I find comfort in the silence
of kissing eyes.
Did you know I dream your colors,
deep shades of you
to keep the nights promises
from drifting away?
Did you know I have conditioned myself
to a ritual of you never leaving my side,
being imprisoned by love
throughout the seasons of change?

Love these lines and the intensity.
