Icicles
By: Noah Eaton
12/26/02

Pallid is the iron that's trying to smoothen these denim skies
Cadaverous are the obligations any apostles can disguise
To lend the Sphinx a nose, to barter for an account tucked in your bureau
Which has lost everything substantial,everything confidential

If only I had a cotterpin so I can augment the truth
Which any underachiever finds obvious when you shove it onto
And my intuition is buried like a needle in a haystack
Telling tall tales that take me overseas then before you know it I'm back

Time is lost
Hope's a lost cause
Truth is hanging from its lot
Right now...

Early birds don't get the worms
With all these inhabitants joining these wan herds
Patience is what's submerged
Where we all stubbornly purge
Nature follows its course
But it takes an opposite force
To suffice
To recognize
To bide tryst

Cornflake elegies swim around this camembert cheese sky
And my mind is like some Beaumoncel farm I work by and by
I'm not insane, just a bit paranoid
I implore my scars in hope to fill the void

Time is lost
Hope's a lost cause
Truth is hanging from its lot
Right now...
Time is lost
Hope's a lost cause
Truth is hanging from its lot
Right now...

Red doves fly all around me
Like an erupting volcano ending this ice age
And the icicles fall from the chapels
Piercing deep into my skin
Haggard reminders carving deep into me
Deep into me
Deep into me...

Time is lost
Hope's a lost cause
Truth is hanging from its lot
Right now...
Time is lost
Hope's a lost cause
Truth is hanging from its lot
Right now...

Icicles
These tears hang themselves
In solitary confinement...



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

Shakira

A sadness here not used to finding in your works. Hope all is well, and the icicles are scene on the outside...

Noah, friend, don't know why I didn't see this yesterday.
This is very sad for you, Sweetie.   Is everything okay? I sure do hope so. You've got my e-mail if you need to talk, friend.....

Noah,
can't speak - my words have been frozen solid in the chill of your write.

Noah,

Quite painful,sad and raw in places. Usually you forewarn us. God be with you and give you strength...

We all hope this isn't you. Just know you are not alone for He'll be there to get you through, as will we.

Hugs and love, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Noah... A touching write, I hope all is well.

A moment in pause
to reflect on life's sorrow
Love is not a lost cause
Another day begins tomorrow

Take Care my Friend...Paul
