Firefly On The Wall
By: Noah Eaton
7/1/09
.
.
.
...you can't see me...

...but I'm crawling...

...right under your skin...
.
.
.
...every time your heart skips a beat...

...when you're talking in your sleep...

...I always stop, stare and listen...
.
.
.
...surreptitiously...

...I'm the sunbeam in your bloodstream...

...making you feel enthralled...
.
.
.
...and now you'll find...

...you can't get me out of your mind...

...cuz I'm the firefly on your wall...
.
.
.
...your blood's as sweet...

...than sangria in the summer heat...

...when all your secrets are profused...
.
.
.
...I'm part potpourri...

...part paparazzi...

...either way you beam,

knowing you can't shake me loose...
.
.
.
...surreptitiously...

...I'm the sunbeam in your bloodstream...

...making you feel enthralled...
.
.
.
...and now you'll find...

...you can't get me out of your mind...

...cuz I'm the firefly on your wall...
.
.
.
...I make your bones fluoresce...

...your veins luminesce...

...you can hear the colors,

and taste the glare...
.
.
.
...and I breathe your every confession...

...sing your every obsession...

...as I keep titillating...

...between your bones like an Iridium flare...
.
.
.
...surreptitiously...

...I'm the sunbeam in your bloodstream...

...making you feel enthralled...
.
.
.
...and now you'll find...

...you can't get me out of your mind...

...cuz I'm the firefly on your wall...
.
.
.
......you can't get me out of your mind...

...cuz I'm the firefly on your wall...

Awwwwwwwww, thanks!

Honestly, I'm not in love yet, but I certainly feel as though I might as well be, LOL! I'm in a wonderful place right now, and I can't even begin to imagine how I'll feel when I do find first love!

I guess I just feel things ever so strongly, and with help from my imagination and vivid dreams, I always write like I mean it, like I'm singing it out loud from the deepest chambers of my heart with the greatest inflection possible!

Thanks sooooooooooo much for your kind words, yay!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A glorious riot of colours and emotions! And that is one neat psychedelic pic of you!
Gosh, it's nice to have you back in the pip family fold!

You make me want to kick up my heels and do the happy dance and sing and play and love!

Awwwwwwwwwwww, thanks Lana! (huggies)

Basically, my aim was to kind of eroticize the traditional idiom "Fly on the wall" and re-define it as the soul of a destined, yet presently star-crossed lover, lingering inside the body of ones lover; who knows all that lover's secrets, dreams and desires, even when the lovers have yet to meet face to face!

Glad you liked it, yay!

Love,
Noah Eaton

That picture you see was taken last Thursday at the Alberta Art District's Last Thursday event in Portland: a major social art event that is held on the last Thursday of each month in that district. I was there going around and handing out flyers for an upcoming festival with five others! We all wore these large feather boas around our necks so we would stand out in the crowd, LOL!

Hope you've had a wonderful start to your summer, yay!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yay, our angel of the Earth! (huggies)

It feels wonderful being back here! I don't think I ever truly left this family..........just took a look vacation abroad from it, but in heart I think everyone knew part of my heart will always be here. Sharing heartsongs here for almost nine years going now I believe is testament to how one-of-a-kind this community is!

Hope all has been well with you, my friend!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I wish the Pacific Northwest had fireflies like the Midwest and South do. That is one of a few things I really miss about life beyond the Northwest!

Glad you liked it! (does happy dance)
