(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...

Hello Noah

I sensed your sadness and uncertainty through your words and I hope all is okay.  Your words of love and devotion for Joanna ring so true and she is one very lucky girl.

By the way, congratulations on your 14,000th post - an absolutely awesome achievement.

Take care......Sue

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.  Unknown

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
