(Here is my "farewell love song" of this year to someone who used to love me until New Years Day 2003 and still her vision is part of my heart! I wrote it on piano! and ) Archaic Smile By: Noah Eaton 12/31/03 Your eyes are radiating deep inside, Like carnotite, I go blind Little echo inside, go to sleep, Rest at ease, Honestly, You’re the rose that blooms at sight of dawn Shimmering in the Tuscan garden sun Dissolving colors as the seasons wile Archaic Smile Your inner-light I cannot estimate, You’re upside-down cake, Fruit and parfait The pitchblende is now buried inside me, Which I cannot see, These even wilder things, It’s Holocene You’re the rose that blooms at sight of dawn Shimmering in the Tuscan garden sun Dissolving colors as the seasons wile Archaic Smile If I ever forget your eyes, That pilot light Will be burning bright I hope you’ll find a yellow dove, Who can take you high above Prism castles we could never dream of You’re the rose that blooms at sight of dawn Shimmering in the Tuscan garden sun Dissolving colors as the seasons wile Archaic Smile Your statue within my heart’s still stands Your smile one of a kind, That others have yet to find Can a hundred years replicate, This swan song we create, Either way, I’m not afraid Either way, I’m not afraid... "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Sometimes the best place for love to live, is in our memory. Stunning tribute. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

"Your smile one of a kind, That others have yet to find" This was very beautiful, Noah. Lovely sentiments throughout, and your replication of "Either way ... I'm not afraid" in closing, brings home the feeling of one who is strong yet still shows a vulnerability. Well done! Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

it's beautiful! is it possible to hear the piano-version? turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again... |

Come now...can real love die on a particular day? You have such amazing comments to everyone in this forum, I find it hard to believe you haven't found a reflection in someone special. This poem is very sweet, though sad, and shows a heart that is understanding and kind. I can't wait to read your "welcoming love poem"!!! McLean |

"You’re the rose that blooms at sight of dawn Shimmering in the Tuscan garden sun Dissolving colors as the seasons wile Archaic Smile" Mistletoe, this was lovely and really sweet. I hope someday we get to hear your words with the music that accompanies them. |
