(For my magical sweetheart Joanna! )

Shaman
By: Noah Eaton
9/30/02

So you take my hand where the daisies kiss our feet
You rang the bells of the sun
Tugging onto the omnipresence of everything
With your buffalo drum and rawhide rattle
You became the conduit to my beating heart
Filling my justified heart with spiritual democracy
My quantum leap to the otherworld...

When you first kissed my lips
You became my eternal summer, my axis-mundi
My runesinger...

You are my sweet Shaman, my remedy
The psychopomp of my lost fantasies and dreams
You sigh like the sound of one clapping
You are my toletary spirit teaching me of loves beauty
Baby, keep kissing me
Baby, you are always counseling me...
You are my Shaman underneath...

You are rock medicine
A dream of every dolphin
You were the thief of the moon
My sine qua non

You warn me everyday if I can handle your ayahuasca
But I can never get enough of your ecstasy, my love
Keep giving me your song of rushing water...

You are my sweet Shaman, my remedy
The psychopomp of my lost fantasies and dreams
You sigh like the sound of one clapping
You are my toletary spirit teaching me of loves beauty
Baby, keep kissing me
Baby, you are always counseling me...
You are my Shaman underneath...

And just when I think Middle Earth has too much of me...
You have me spinning me in your medicine wheel
A mongoose to all these snakes that poison me
Oh love, hold me, I need your heaven
Hold me, I need your rosy lips

You are my sweet Shaman, my remedy
The psychopomp of my lost fantasies and dreams
You sigh like the sound of one clapping
You are my toletary spirit teaching me of loves beauty
Baby, keep kissing me
Baby, you are always counseling me...
You are my Shaman underneath...


"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, I just read BC's remarks "You are a magnificent romantic poet" --that goes ditto for me, but it was more of a compliment coming from the troubador!
