 Epiphany By: Noah Eaton 7/27/02 Under all this scar tissue Render me from cobalt blue to chrome yellow Make a home of this mares nest Make a rich butter straight from This saturated margarine of creed And churn it all with a myriad of sunrises Rub it against my skin like a Vasoline If I could give all my love to you I could chase away those clouds and make barcaroles of your blues And incubate your dreams precious cocoon Until your weary heart rises as a golden butterfly of springs epitome And deep in your sleep I'm vigil, no longer your eponymy But rather your epiphany Giving you the sweetest dreams Kissing your forehead as you sleep... Underneath all these masks Embroider my eyelashes in passmenterie Peel off all this papier-mache Yesterday you were my Maundy Thursday Washing my feet until I met you in my Eastern today Now when I stare at the pieta of myself I know that I'm still alive, there is hope in your golden gaze If I could give all my love to you I could chase away those clouds and make barcaroles of your blues And incubate your dreams precious cocoon Until your weary heart rises as a golden butterfly of springs epitome And deep in your sleep I'm vigil, no longer your eponymy But rather your epiphany Giving you the sweetest dreams Kissing your lips as you sleep... Underneath all this scar tissue Where I used to feel anesthetized I feel your sweet kisses upon my neck Pass me the golden chalice We'll drink this ambrosia like king and queen As you take these eyes of cobalt blue And make them a clare de lune for me If I could give all my love to you I could chase away those clouds and make barcaroles of your blues And incubate your dreams precious cocoon Until your weary heart rises as a golden butterfly of springs epitome And deep in your sleep I'm vigil, no longer your eponymy But rather your epiphany Giving you the sweetest dreams Kissing your heart as you sleep... You are my day You are my eve You are my honey You are my epiphany... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Under all this scar tissue Render me from cobalt blue to chrome yellow By the time I'd read these two lines, I knew this was one of your best... and with every following line, I became more convinced. *S* This is beautiful, M'toe... superb imagery woven with your incredible vocabulary... and full of heart and hope. Excellent! |

I swear Noah with each write you get better and better. I enjoyed reading this. Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, I still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose worth all the pain." |
