(Sorry for this downer, I have missed my Joanna so so much for a week and I love her too much and feel so sad and lonely without her!
I love you Joanna!

Insomnia
By: Noah Eaton
5/28/02

When I lie in bed I feel like I'm floating on an ocean
You appear before me in my dreams trying to swim for my mattress
Then the current pushes you back before I can grab your hand
I can't see through this fogand the lighthouse only traces tears of sadness

I need you
I can't lose you
I miss you so much, I want to say I love you to you again
I feel dead without you
I can't sleep without you
There saying everything will be OK again
Where are you going?
Have you lost yourself from me?

Yesterday we used to feel so carefree together
Now the world seems to have pushed us further apart
I never wished for it to come to this, I just want to hold you
Not now, not while everything seems so magical, please don't leave me with a broken heart

I need you
I can't lose you
I miss you so much, I want to say I love you to you again
I feel dead without you
I can't sleep without you
There saying everything will be OK again
Where are you going?
Have you lost yourself from me?

I've long been convinced that the stars hold some miracles
That shine so warm, reminding me dreams can come true
Please God, let me have the faith to still believe in this outcome
Let my love find me back to my heart soon...

I need you
I can't lose you
I miss you so much, I want to say I love you to you again
I feel dead without you
I can't sleep without you
There saying everything will be OK again
Where are you going?
Have you lost yourself from me?

Tell me everything will be OK, love
Again...

Ah, when I saw Insomnia, I figured you were writing something I could relate to (been suffering from that ailment for several years now).

Might not help much right now, but from what I've read in your words and thoughts, everything will be okay again, no matter what happens. You're a positve, upbeat and caring guy. And you're strong.

Joanna is such a lucky woman, Noah...and you are such a caring and sensitive young man.

this is a lovely, sad and reaching poem.

Not now, not while everything seems so magical, please don't leave me with a broken heart

and this passage reminds me of how I feel about my disease...

Wow.  I guess you really miss her.  Good!  Always remember this feeling and she will make you a happy man

Noah, too much love is not good and too little is not either, but there is a "somewhere in between"...we all need time apart. Great piece!

Noah~Hi sweetie!  
Please try and keep your chin up
and above all else, keep writing.
It really helps pass the time...
AND more than anything,
turns out some great poetry.
All will be well....
I shall cast a magic spell!
~Hugs~

dancing with you in the summer rain~

I thought this might be about the new movie that just came out...it is a murder mystery...
There was only one way for me to kick that insomnia...
I trusted in God that he would provide for me...and as I trusted the peace of the Lord came over me and I began to sleep peacefully....it was a process and it took a period of time for me to begin to trust in him...and the outcome was not what I expected but he knows what we need...he can provide...James

Noah, there is little to rival the ache of extended longing, is there?  sigh
so many man-tears in this, and heartquakes.

If fate can be induced, then so be it!  Writing like this can only be
told in poetry.  As it should be...
