(I was feeling lonely today and was thinking about my Joanna so so much so this lonely lovesong came to mind. This is for you Joanna, I love you!  )Forget-Me-Not By: Noah Eaton 7/21/02 I have a sneaking suspicion that things aren't what they used to be The fireflies have turned blue in this hearts tapestry These summer days seem to be mummified in emery cloth The leaves bleached in Plaster of Paris where no hummingbirds want to be Seems lately I've picked meadows of she loves me, she loves me nots I can see the red but I see no vermillion within my flesh and blood apparently I can paint rainbows in pastel, but I need you to imbue them in watercolor Through this desert in the distance there has to be some epiphany I was just wondering If you still love me the same as I love you Do you still remember those days When we felt this eternal youth I hope deep in your vase You still have that forget-me-not Just let me slip my fingertips into yours I promise I would never let you go I remember when I first took your hand in my dreams I felt that nostalgia of those beautiful medieval times every day You were growing weary, I said you could hold onto me I kissed your tender neck and said everything will be OK In my dreams I kissed you in your tower and put my ring around your finger We would spend days in Camelot's enchanted garden, riding hoeseback on the glens Then I saw the castles crumble, I kissed you like in La Belle Dame Sans Merci Feeling these good days disappear and I tried to find you, sweet Gwenevere through the forest bends I was just wondering If you still love me the same as I love you Do you still remember those days When we felt this eternal youth I hope deep in your vase You still have that forget-me-not Just let me slip my fingertips into yours I promise I would never let you go If I have gone overboard, I ask you to please forgive me I'll dance with you like "The Singing Butler", just hold your parasol to the hula moon Every smile you play is like summertime in Paris, that sweet precious innocence Convinces me that Camelot still exists within your hearts cocoon I was just wondering If you still love me the same as I love you Do you still remember those days When we felt this eternal youth I hope deep in your vase You still have that forget-me-not Just let me slip my fingertips into yours I promise I would never let you go Because I never want to forget you I don't ever want to let you go Every time you smile reminds me of a Kim Anderson print Within this black-and-white space We both feel like innocent children again And your lips Your tongue Your smile Your rose Is ruby red sweet As sweet as can be... Forget-me-not Forget-me-not Forget-me-not Forget-me-not Every day is like a wedding morning Every night is like a proms spotlight dance beginning I love you more than anything... Forget-me-not Forget-me-not... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (07-21-2002 09:57 PM).] |

Noah, absence makes the heart grow fonder huh?? i sense the void in you and while there's nothing much i can do to help you, well, "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"  ...i'm sure your relationship with Joanna will elevate to greater heights after this period of absence..good luck!congrats on your milestone too! |

Noah, congratulations on the 14.000th that's some achievement! Here is a poem to keep you warm until you and Joanna are together again. Whene?er the day dawns bright and clear Thoughts of you are drawing near My friend you know not what you give Each day you show me how to live To rise above the dreary day And take my chances come what may Your friendship true is not forgot You are my small forget-me-not Hidden there within my day While I go my merry way Hidden yes but not forgotten I think of you when things get rotten Good morning friend it?s bright and clear I think of you to draw you near Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Oh Noah, I know this loneliness, and I hope she does not forget. How could she? This is really a beautiful poem,I love all your referrals to various romantic themes, camelot, and that painting, one of my favorites. Smile..and know if she did ever forget, there will be someone who will not. Hugs Sandra |
