(Here's a re-post of one of my favorite older poems, which this one still touches my heart a lot because I still have romantic dreams like this almost every night where my dream girl flitters to me like a fairy or butterfly, and the beauty she paints in my dreams always makes me cry in joy and longing for her. )

Lavender Butterflies
By: Noah Eaton
11/11/01

In crisp fields of lavender butterflies,
imbued by the violet stars in a dreamscape horizon,
fluttering by through a Technicolor past,
sliding among rainbows into sunny futures uncertain

Where the turquoise house rests on the rainbows ridge,
where sheer dreams cascade into reality’s realm,
upon jade waters where porcelain dolphins kiss the glass abyss,
hazed by myriads of gardenia, where the cherubs dwell

Among barley fields frosted in pearl hail,
feathered in cotton lovers whispers,
where kites are flown against the satin wind,
reflecting reveries upon beds of heather

In strawberry fields glazed in whipped cream,
I lay and dream the days away with lavender butterflies of dreams in harmony,
waiting for my sweet angel to bring music to my world
sailing away with her into myriads of fantasies...


"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other"

Mother Teresa

Sigh....Noah, you are such a romantic....this is a delight to read....

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding

...Saved faster than you can say "strawberry fields"! Noah, this was one of the most fragrant and delicious love poems that I have ever read! I absolutely was swept away by the magic and beauty of your words!

May the girl of your dreams be worthy of someone as special as you are!

Love, Flowers, and Dreams coming true,
