 (OK...it's Post 30,001! Either way, I hope you enjoy this, yay! (angel hugs for everyone) )Sentimental Value By: Noah Eaton 1/26/04 . . . . . . . . . . I watched the eyelashes glissade, from your eyes... lacrimating upon my cheeks... . . . ...why did I believe I believed, I could perceive all you could see? Your resonating heartbeat echos on, sketching upon my heart, like a trees annual rings... . . . I've given up on spring cleaning, I'm reading proverbs that never had meaning, you lift your coffee mug from my hearts table, leaving a ring behind... . . . In all this discussion of eternity, it's overwhelming... my wishlist is incomplete... . . . ...so will you be my sky pilot, will you train me to exhale softly and dream sweetly, we're peripatetics wandering with clouds below our knees... . . . I've given up on spring cleaning, I'm reading proverbs that never had meaning, you lift your coffee mug from my hearts table, leaving a ring behind... I'm decorating soliloquies, I'm framing fantasies, I'm a shepherd woolgathering, I'm hanging onto these remnants of sentimental value... . . . . . . I remember Dr. Seuss, Captain Kangaroo, bathetic novels and songs I read to you, if only I could collect your scent into a Yankee candle, incense just cannot do... . . . I've given up on spring cleaning, I'm reading proverbs that never had meaning, you lift your coffee mug from my hearts table, leaving a ring behind... I'm decorating soliloquies, I'm framing fantasies, I'm a shepherd woolgathering, I'm hanging onto these remnants of sentimental value... I'm decorating soliloquies, I'm framing fantasies, I'm a shepherd woolgathering, I'm hanging onto these remnants of sentimental value, sentimental value... "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 |

Oh, dear, sadly, romantically beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed all the phrasings in here, but mostly, the "coffe mug ring" left behind. HOW DESCRIPTIVE IS THAT? Wow. Your words are such music, and I think you can write on about any topic and make it sound melodious. This poem of yours, I GOT, and it is so human a quality, this feeling you've described. WAY TO GO!!! Cheers, McLean |
