(Here's a re-post, motivated by my emotional lovesickness lately as I yearn to find my dream girl ever soooooooo much!)

City of Roses
By: Noah Eaton
6/10/04

Through the flowers in her hair,
I can see the morning caress the Willamette,
waking from windowsill hallucinations,
to find myself back in the garden,
where the sun is as erubescent as your face,
shimmering of rain and quince tea,
the breeze but a young merry-andrew,
running through the wistoria arbor chasing a dream

I'm going to the City of Roses,
where we can be free in the garden,
I'm going to lie there with my yellow rose,
growing our love under the tulip tree

We see our shadows dancing,
down Hawthorne Boulevard,
she moves like a butterfly swimming in ambrosia,
cinnamon rainbow smile warming my heart,
her phosphorescent tarradiddle,
blows a splanchnic nerve,
spilling all my pride and instincts,
blending the colors of my dreams in one gentle swerve

I'm going to the City of Roses,
where we can be free in the garden,
I'm going to lie there with my yellow rose,
growing our love under the tulip tree

Through the flowers in her hair,
I could see the twilight gleam from the west hills,
she pulls a recherche touche,
her kiss of a thousand bumblebees has my lungs filled
felicity fills my femme fatale's flowery face,
let there be rain when she dreams of it,
because when the rain beads my sugar maple's hair,
I feel her love, I feel her honeybee kiss

I'm going to the City of Roses,
where we can be free in the garden,
I'm going to lie there with my yellow rose,
growing our love under the tulip tree

Butterfly angel,
show me the light in your wings,
butterfly angel,
you're my queen in the City of Roses
Butterfly angel,
show me the light in your wings,
butterfly angel,
you're my queen in the City of Roses

I know that place and its beauty...I hope the romance that you plan becomes a picnic for your heart.  Your poem took me flying there.

Hey sidekick!  This sure is a beauty of a write.
You're going to meet that special gal real soon.
And when you sing this to her she'll swoon.
~Sending special friend hugs your way~

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Loveya!

There are moments when speech
is but a mouth pressed lightly and
humbly against the angel's hands

Dear Noah, ohhh your City of Roses inspires you beautifully! With your passionate, romantic words you create waves of love which will touch just that special girl who is destined to enter your life.
Cities of Roses are special. As you know, I have my own Rosenstadt back home in Switzerland and I know how that place affects the hearts ...
Wonderful creation here!
Love and angelhugs.
Margherita
