So, could it be that it is me?
Haft become the fire in your eyes
enough love to be your hero,
melt a heart, stone cold at ten below zero?


Do you often wonder?
Did my songs in the key of A minor
transcend into the wind
that blows through your mind
upon cold lonely nights, such as this?

Decadence that belies upon my soul
will challenge my dreams of tomorrow.
For even when another looks into my eyes
I shall look away, as if needing to shelter
the last remaining shadow, of love hidden,
buried deep within me, idle it sits
upon the shelf of hope


And though the pages
become splattered with blood
as though the words may somehow
replenish the light of darkness' secret mourn
we know, this is never to be...don't we?


For although the pages written in red
will someday with time fade away,
As if the occurrence was simply a thought,
or a figment of one's imagination,
The innermost spirit of our shadows dancing
together in a time different from now,
Dear one, somehow we both know
forever etched upon the very existence of the soul
they will never, ever...pass

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Dennis, this is so sadly heartfelt, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you but know always you have those memories encased in amber deep down and always hold them dear to you as love can grow cold and fragile yet the memory is remembered and preserved! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this has my vote, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dennis, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

To say what I like about this piece is to rewrite every word.  An excellent read... especially those last few lines.  I bow to you and yours with vote in hand.
