I miss her sweet serene poetic smile Her fairy dusted words that so beguile I miss the travel guide her lines provide To places that enchant where dreams abide I miss the tender lines that bring delight that warm the heart like embers in the night I miss the heart that love filled to the brim Without her charm, poetic lights are dim I miss my friend who is a kindred soul Who longed with peace to make each poet whole I miss this angel with each passing day Oh, how I wish I'd find the words to say Come back, my dear, come back and let us see the wonder of your writes- your poetry Eileen Manassian

Charmaine is a sweetie and it's nice to see how she responded. It is nice that she comes back.

Thanks, sweetie. You are a dear. If I could get you to be here for just a little time....I'm happy. I'm sad that members of a new site are enjoying your wonderful words when we should be. However, go where you feel happiest and at peace. I know that I will never lose your friendship, and that means the world to me. Hugs

Hi dear Eileen..Thanks for being such a sweet friend/ sister. I'll never forget those precious moments when you were on my isle..I remember it...I always felt a deep connection with members on ps..But meeting you and Paul could never feel more real... A part of me really feels the need to be on ps.I am writing on a new site but still very much a souper at heart..Eileen..I am here now..I dont know where my mind will tell me to be tomorrow..But I am here reading you and it feels great...and I even strolled along some of your youtube sessions..Awesome.You are a natural...So professionally made.Im proud of you.

You have touched my heart and soul many times, dear. You know I say this in all sincerity. :) Love you....You will be back...I just know it, and for that I am happy. Hugs

CONT.. people I love here..everytime I log in, many times quarrels that started from silly misunderstandings. After a busy day there is nothing more fulfilling than being here on ps, reading poems, commenting, sharing opinions in blogs, having fun..But I stopped.finding that serenity.Do I miss ps? I miss it dearly..I miss you, my friends, reading beautiful poems, commenting, writing..But I dont know what am I to do .I take some more time..I ll see..It feels nice reading you again for sure.

You bring serenity, sweetie....you bring peace. You have a mission here. You are loved by all. No one should try to sway you either way. No one. I know you miss this place and that is why I want you to think about returning. Do it for my sake and that way if things go wrong....you can say I asked you to come back! ;) Hugs

Oh dearest Eileen, I just read your email , I will get to it soon, and a little bird told me of your nice gesture and kindred soul.Ofcourse I am touched.I had to come and read this beauty. I have to say my eyes are misty and wasnt even peeling onions .: ).Such a beautiful tribute.I do feel sorry I let you and my friends down by not being here..But I needed to stop being here..because I wasnt feeling the serenity on poetrysoup as in past times.Its as if there were undercurrents between

Don't EVER think that your absence is not felt...and felt DEEPLY, Charmaine. I know you are loved by many...and I'm sure of the reasons is that you have a deep genuine love for all. Please...don't lose that. I beg you. We all have different ways of dealing with difficult situations. God will bless you for your way. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God." Matthew 5:9. :) You will be blessed...you are blessed...you have blessed others. If you need more time...take it, but I want you to know that I miss you terribly....sweet beautiful friend. Hugs

I can't tell you how upset I am that she has taken a break, Tim. You know my feelings for Charmaine. She has always been kind to me...not only me...but to everyone. She would never hurt a fly. Such an amazing woman. Meeting her in person was a thrill. I'm very sad that she has taken a break...Thanks for the visit...Yes, she is our dear Charmaine, indeed.

Thank you, dear. You are right. I hope she does come back soon, though. I miss her and FJ terribly. I also miss Richard Seal....and Donna Jones...and Caleb...and...Drake...Lysia....and Anne...I miss the old gang. Things seemed different then. Maybe it's just nostalgia. I'm glad some of the oldies are still here...and some of the new gang are just fantastic. Yes, that is you, my dear. Thanks for stopping by. I'm not giving up on Charmaine. I have on some of the others...but not Charmaine. Hugs

I know her, but I don't - a vague thing. So glad nothing final happened to her. Many leave and their light goes out, but we must bless their journey and feel gratitude for the time we did have. A season, a reason or a lifetime. Who knows, some tomorrow her light may turn back on. Your tribute is beautiful, Eileen - the perfect blend of touching and emotional for the reader to 'feel' your words. CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I've been busy with family visiting from abroad and it's the end of the academic year, so I have a lot of things to do. I will be able to visit after a week or so. I love your work and am looking forward to catching up with you. I do love Charmaine...dearly. I wish she'd come back to this community...to the ones who truly value and love her. Thanks for the visit, dear. Hugs

She's on a break, Nette. I don't know how long it will last, but I hope that she does eventually come back. It's just not the same without her gentle kind spirit. Hugs
