Unicorn Leaping
By: Noah Eaton
11/5/02

Genuflecting on your nightingale song
I can't tell Ursa Major from Ursa Minor
Both constellations seem just as bright to me
When I watch as your green eyes shimmer

Ophiuchus can't charm the serpents as you do
You set Andromeda free with one pirouetting kiss
So love, give me your hand, we'll go leaping with the unicorns
Deep in the merengue heavens caressed by your fingertips

Carefree cheerful cherubs chortle over your connubial castles
Amorously admiring with argus-eyed affection your ascending aureole
Hipparchus could never rank your brightness with the other stars
Prima facie, I felt an avatar of a lost boys smile through your red velvet carol

And through your billet-doux
I knew the afterglow you give is true
Your heart beats in my head, a vagary flying like a badminton birdee
So fast I can't explain what only God can, of how I deeply love you

Pantheon is too small a place to commemorate the anatomy of your grace
So I'll start from scratch and I promise I won't skip a detail
Free of any manicure, foofaraw, or pulchritude
Because God made you with all of the beautiful gifts that couldn't fit in any idyll

Come sweetheart, we'll go unicorn leaping
Through the bubblegum spiderwebs we'll gallop and wail
And against the blueberries and cream horizons
I'll caress your joyous diamond tears under your starry veil

Unicorn leaping...
Holding you in my lap, suckling your sweet kiss of candy
As I tuck you into white dreams
Married together on this chariot ride
Married within your eyes aposelene...




"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

Very visual, Noah, with a lot of interesting names.  A real fantasy feel to it.

Quite beautiful, I must say. Reminded my of old stories of unicorns my grandmother used to tell me when I was a small boy...I still remember them even to this day, over a decade after she told me those old stories.

Dear Noah; I love the mystical magical way this poem flows with your gift with words and awesome imagination! so beautiful! hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
