 Unmentionables By: Noah Eaton 8/5/02 Silver spoon Stirring Colombian coffee Effortlessly reading the headlines When I know todays top story How lucky I am to have a lover Just like you Free of logarithms and Bernoulli's Law But rather filled with free-flowing youth Love, you keep me drifting Like a queens lacewing on a sultry July evening I can get to the end of this tunnel Just feeling your warm light You keep me drifting In duple time habanera And eventually I melt into your eyes Sometimes I swear I taste your ginseng It gets me going in the morning I'd love to show you how I feel inside Bereaved as I can be God knows you always have to start somewhere I'm bestowed to your grace Sometimes I feel I can swoop your sighs in a butterfly net Encase them in amber and captivate them lovingly Which rock me off to sleep like a berceuse to a full moon Lost in your loves sweet feeling Click your heels and count to three Home is where the heart is, isn't that where you want to be? I'm a koala for your love Shaking my tree, dreaming of suckling your sweet kiss happily You wear unmentionables so well To me you are more than mentionable Is it better to be mentionable than everything Being mentionable to you is everything I need... Love, you keep me drifting Like a queens lacewing on a sultry July evening I can get to the end of this tunnel Just feeling your warm light You keep me drifting In duple time habanera And eventually I melt into your eyes Sometimes I swear I taste your ginseng It gets me going in the morning I'd love to show you how I feel inside Bereaved as I can be God knows you always have to start somewhere I'm bestowed to your grace Sometimes I feel I can swoop your sighs in a butterfly net Encase them in amber and captivate them lovingly Which rock me off to sleep like a berceuse to a full moon Lost in your loves sweet feeling... Your kisses are like neon honeybees Showering like star showers in the afternoon You laugh like a nightingale in insomnia Coming to sing to my heart 24/7 I'm moonstruck, wearing Van Gogh robes Staring out into the sunrise on the great divide To your ever elusive angel sighs There's a sestina somewhere in there I know I can write... Love, you keep me drifting Like a queens lacewing on a sultry July evening I can get to the end of this tunnel Just feeling your warm light You keep me drifting In duple time habanera And eventually I melt into your eyes Sometimes I swear I taste your ginseng It gets me going in the morning I'd love to show you how I feel inside Bereaved as I can be God knows you always have to start somewhere I'm bestowed to your grace Sometimes I feel I can swoop your sighs in a butterfly net Encase them in amber and captivate them lovingly Which rock me off to sleep like a berceuse to a full moon Lost in your loves sweet feeling... You wear unmentionables so well To me you are more than mentionable Is it better to be mentionable than everything Being mentionable to you is everything I need...

this is the flit of aye-lashes the lilt of a seductive voice the shudder of recoil from heart arrows the tidal washing of sea against bows a laundry list of reasons why love is in both of your hearts jeff |

You have some phrases here I am definitely going to unabashedly steal! Well done, my friend Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

'...You have some phrases here I am definitely going to unabashedly steal!...' Can I do this too? Hmmm...is that legal? Maybe if you say you're going to steal, then you can steal cause it's not really stealing! WOW! Someone needs to look into this - you could be onto something here. Marti |
