You cannot own my body, heart, or mind My essence is illusive like the air So do not try to hold me down; don’t dare! I’ll break away from all you use to bind I am embodiment of freedom’s call The cosmos is not broad enough for me For I am more than what your eyes can see My soul is deep; it cannot break your fall And though my savage heart is warrior bred I stand before you coy, somewhat demure But should you try to capture me, be sure Between your soul and death, I’ll leave a thread There beats a goddess heart inside my chest I know my worth, and so I can command Allegiance to my love and each demand You need to be on par, to pass the test You cannot hope this mighty queen to rule Capitulate your heart, give up your right You’ll live to see the dawn vanquish the night Then my desires will burn you up for fuel You will be mine; on you I’ll gorge and feed My wants and every craving, I will sate For passion in my soul could never wait When I am done, you’ll live to tell the deed! I am a warrior princess; I’m the one the stars and moon and sun obey my voice And yet you linger near me, by your choice The fight for your submission, I have won! Eileen Manassian

"My soul is deep; it cannot break your fall" - such great lines....that one particularly I love. I also really like "Between your soul and death, I’ll leave a thread" - the power of this goddess's soul is intriguing and empowering. The deepest, greatest parts of our souls lies in our ability to love, and in that love we can strengthen and be strengthened! You are a winner, that's for sure. A gorgeous piece! Always, Laura

I have missed you. I'm glad you have had a good time. My semester is one of my busiest. I am spending some time before I have to go to a meeting. Oh....the real Eileen has many chinks in her armor, but the Warrior Princess has none! ;)

I give in, I surrender, I submit, oh mighty warrior princess, aka my little Desert Orchid, you have a way with words that would make anyone kneel before you. This persona is so you. Take care, Richard

Hi Richard, great to see you back commenting. Do drop by for a visit.

See that you do, Mr Richard D Seal, or your punishment will be great. The Warrior Princess has spoken. Hope you are doing well. I'm definitely a feminist who likes to be treated like a Queen. Some say that is an contradiction in term, but I can make it work...if given the power. ;) Thanks for the visit.
