 Epiphany By: Noah Eaton 7/27/02 Under all this scar tissue Render me from cobalt blue to chrome yellow Make a home of this mares nest Make a rich butter straight from This saturated margarine of creed And churn it all with a myriad of sunrises Rub it against my skin like a Vasoline If I could give all my love to you I could chase away those clouds and make barcaroles of your blues And incubate your dreams precious cocoon Until your weary heart rises as a golden butterfly of springs epitome And deep in your sleep I'm vigil, no longer your eponymy But rather your epiphany Giving you the sweetest dreams Kissing your forehead as you sleep... Underneath all these masks Embroider my eyelashes in passmenterie Peel off all this papier-mache Yesterday you were my Maundy Thursday Washing my feet until I met you in my Easter today Now when I stare at the pieta of myself I know that I'm still alive, there is hope in your golden gaze Underneath all this scar tissue Where I used to feel anesthetized I feel your sweet kisses upon my neck Pass me the golden chalice We'll drink this ambrosia like king and queen As you take these eyes of cobalt blue And make them a clare de lune for me Take me as I am to heart Make this moment envious to the stars As I strum rasguerdo from my guitar And I just want you to know… You are my day You are my eve You are my honey You are my epiphany... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Under all this scar tissue Render me from cobalt blue to chrome yellow ======================== Underneath all these masks Embroider my eyelashes in passmenterie Peel off all this papier-mache Yesterday you were my Maundy Thursday Washing my feet until I met you in my Easter today Now when I stare at the pieta of myself I know that I'm still alive, there is hope in your golden gaze ================================ You have some very very cool lines in this Noah...as well as images and use of metaphor... as always your vocabulary and word play make an impression on this reader. Another gem of pen to reflect your unique style in the book. Well done poet sir!  "and when we get to the pearly gates ... |

Noah - Your gift for imagery is spellbinding... I really love the way you used textures, colours, and even tastes to set the poem's mood so definitely that no reader could have possibly missed out on it. This is just fantastic poetry, Noah, one of my favourites from you so far... I'm putting this in my library and hoping it makes Reflections (it probably will, with all the indirect votes you have to your name  ).Nice reading from you again... as always, will have my eye on your work.

Now when I stare at the pieta of myself I know that I'm still alive, there is hope in your golden gaze It's tough to pick a favorite part when the very first phrase captured me. *S* But these I SAW as well as read... and they moved me past appreciation to awe. *S* Excellent! |

(smiles) Yay! Thank you all for your lovely comments, I love writing about love and this was my favorite love poem because I believe love truly opens up many doors at once for everyone who feels it finally, like you're drowning in sunbeams!

Mistletoe Angel. All of my posts have been eliminated from Reflections, and the other two open forums. I know you are a moderator so what is the deal? |

This is the kind of poem I like to read once and then again...and again: to savour the tone and rhythms and let the images engrave the theme on the inner cell of my sensibilities. It deserves all the positive comments so far received and is a MUST for the anthology. I wish your Muse many more years of impressive, evocative creativity, Patrick. |

Noah, your use of verbage, metaphors, and your visuals not only carry an intrigue that envelops the reader but your style is one of your own and is a wonderful style at that. You most definitely have my vote on this. Well done sir. |

There is nothing better than an Epiphany. And it's such a great word. Wonderful piece Noah ... Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |
