(The days before and after Valentines Day always make me feel lonely, so I tried crawling around in the skin of a lighthouse keeper and trying to envision what a valentine feels like to him/her in his/her point of view. I guess we all feel like this at one time or another!) * Lighthouse Keeper By: Noah Eaton 2/11/06 . . . Northwest horizon overcast, watching the cold front drifting through the glass... ...it's a banshee of serenity... . My body is a house of many windows, seeing all my allusions and illusions free throw, a hundred and forty feet above the sea... . . Most nights are starless, each day feels much too lonesome... . ...I feel like a lighthouse keeper, waiting for my time to come... . . Feeling the dew point take effect, it helps put me in the mood to reflect, . why I must keep polishing, this guiding love light daily... . Sometimes I feel I’ve lost all concept of time, but my time alone has helped me, find something to live for... …something great enough to die for... …that you always share in my dreams... . . Most nights are starless, each day feels much too lonesome... . ...I feel like a lighthouse keeper, waiting for my time to come... . . I swear each and every night and day, you’re the foam gushing with the waves... . . ...my Aphrodite, waiting to sweep me off my feet... . . Most nights are starless, each day feels much too lonesome... . ...I feel like a lighthouse keeper, waiting for my time to come... . waiting for my time to come... . . . . . . "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
