January Rain By: Noah Eaton 1/7/01 Kneel down beside me I swear now I'm juggling my troubles Only time can measure I'm venturing slow but I'm catching on I'm dancing with your ghost and I am there But it is so heartwreching getting here When I walk beside the frozen lake I fall into my grave, dreaming away I'm reeling in the ghosts of my desires Lost in a phlegmatic trance Promise me you won't let me drown in loneliness Don't let this fragile heart render I'm running through the winter rain like a sad boy Trying to find a puppy that ran away from home Desperate to hang on to your hopes for your love I'm pleading, waiting for your harbinger Wanting to hold Wanting to fold Wanting to love you... There's so much I want to say I can't tango without you, come my way I can't surmount these mountains through this January Rain You're not outside to play... You come cavorting through my mind once more I sacrifice my reasons and I come praying Crying for freedom, crying for comfort Longing for you to come outside And skip in the rain with me And let these tears slide between our lips as we kiss Share this fear that divides my heart to yours While deep under these smoky quartz clouds I am confined Trying to spread these wings of ice And wave my hands to your heart This could get real messy... I'm alone in this cold empty bed Your photographs make you feel too close What can I say? What's this I dream for today? I'm pleading, waiting for your harbinger Wanting to hold Wanting to fold Wanting to love you... You come cavorting through my mind once more I sacrifice my reasons and I come praying Crying for freedom, crying for comfort Longing for you to come outside And skip in the rain with me And let these tears slide between our lips as we kiss Share this fear that divides my heart to yours While deep under these smoky quartz clouds I am confined Trying to spread these wings of ice And wave my hands to your heart This could get real messy... My feet and frozen My hands are chilled to the bone I'm crying on my knees Staring into these puddles on the lonely street Lonely to wait for you To come outside and play Today in the rain...

OOHH Noah this is so sweet and so sad at the same time. I am glad you have found true love to make you happy but to also sadden you through distances. You wait my friend, you wait and your love will someday be in your arms, and it may be sooner than you really think. This was written nicely, I loved it, I can see your vocabulary is far advanced like your poetry. From your good friend Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

Brrrrr! As soon as I saw your title all I could was imagine icy rain. I could tell you that your poem is very sweet and poignant, but that would be an understatement. Nice work. |

My feet and frozen My hands are chilled to the bone I'm crying on my knees Staring into these puddles on the lonely street Lonely to wait for you To come outside and play Today in the rain... I can't help but feel this in my bones dear poet. This aches so badly. The lines cut clear through the reader. I truly hope you regain your light..your sunshine. Love and Hugs. Sincerely, Regina |
