(Dedicated to my sweet love of my life, Joanna! )



Love At First Sight
By: Noah Eaton
9/4/02

Mother used to say to me,
"If a child learns with acceptance and friendship,
he'll learn to find love in the world!"
At first I felt I wasn't deserving
Then I saw your eyes, and the heavens gleamed
Now every night I smile and sigh
Dreaming of holding you like a teddy bear
And softly weeping like puppies cuddled up close
Strumming the lyre of your hair...

And the honeybees swam until they got dizzy
On this dance floor of life baroque angels started singing
The stars shined in your eyes that would make Venus and Adonis melt and sigh
That's when I knew it was love at first sight...

These halls used to be crooked and empty
Now they sparkle like a Puerto Vallarta vendana when you turn me on
You've exchanged my walls I've cried on for Sheratons
You've converted this Stonehedge to a palace
I belly-dance now to your every rhythm
Bounty of destiny, goddess of my life
You are my reason, soul, zen, reika
My second wind, my second star to the right

And the lilies bloomed in the night
Your smile filled my mind, it tantalized
Whatever you want to be, I will always love you in delight
Because with you every day feels like love at first sight...

When you kiss me
Parakeets twitter dreamily
When you hold me
Canaries blush with cheeks of strawberries and cream...

And the white doves embraced us like a cotton blanket
Heaven is missing an angel and I feel so lucky you're the one
And you smother my face in cranberry kisses that fill me with squeals of boyish delight
It is love at first sight...

God must have stayed up all night
Spending more time, drenching your lips in wine
I'll always be yours, you will always be mine
It's love at first sight...


"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Shakira

I'm sooo happy for you Noah!! I hope everyday of your life you feel like this.

Heaven is missing an angel and I feel so lucky you're the one
And you smother my face in cranberry kisses that fill me with squeals of boyish delight
It is love at first sight...

Heaven's not missing only ONE angel, Noah...
I think it's missing TWO!!

Peace,love,light and happiness

Wow, Noah!

It only seems such a short time ago I was congratulating you on your 15,000th post.  You never cease to amaze me with the depth of feelings you have for your Joanna.  I hope you are blessed with the love you so truly deserve.

This is for you my friend :

"Like the shade of a great tree
in the noonday heat
is a friend.
Like the home port with
your country's flag flying
after a long journey
is a friend.
A friend is an inpregnable citadel
of refuge in the strife of existence."

and this ......

"A man without friends
is like a left hand
without a right."

Take care my friend......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Well... Noah, my friend... I have missed this one... once maybe twice, maybe thrice... but have managed to find it, read it, and be amazed by it... This is excellent stuff... fantastic... I loved this part particularly

These halls used to be crooked and empty
Now they sparkle like a Puerto Vallarta vendana when you turn me on
You've exchanged my walls I've cried on for Sheratons
You've converted this Stonehedge to a palace
I belly-dance now to your every rhythm
Bounty of destiny, goddess of my life
You are my reason, soul, zen, reika
My second wind, my second star to the right



And congratulations on the 16000 as well... I have lost count of how many of those were the such wonderful replies to my writings... you do have a kind heart... Thanks for everything; most of all for your presence in these blue halls of friendship...

Regards,
sudhir

Noah - my friend, you sure have it bad. It's a wonderful feeling to be in love, and to write about it. You do it very well. I believe you and she will see each other soon...
