My symbol of a feral love you are A molten searing flame that burns from far The emblem of the best of bravery A sign of strength and honored chivalry You are the turbulence of passion's wave The gallant knight on steed who’s come to save You are the strength in love’s mad hurricane The tumult of obsession gone insane You are a warrior, fierce; you are a king Ferocious love embodied; you’re the dream You are the pounding might of pouring rain The joy that comes with dawn of midnight pain You are the flaring sun that rules the sky The heat that flames the heart and sears the thigh You are the brightest star in midnight ink The tantalizing taste of tempter’s drink You are Enchantress' Son come out to play Caressing every curve, you have your way You are the morning dew on thirsty lips The silk of scented musk that clings to hips You are the fantasy of every dream The current running deep in flowing stream You are desire's form on whom to cleave The intercourse of real and make believe You are the heat of love, personified The lustful needs of passion, gratified You are a wish, a hope for better things The joy of life and love, its angel wings Eileen Manassian

"The tumult of obsession gone insane" LOVE that line, amongst many memorable ones..you must be proud of this awesome poem. You should be. My favorite part is -"You are desire's form on whom to cleave The intercourse of real and make believe"...that is just brilliant. Definitely a fav! Always, Laura

It is wise to repost poems of this caliber, Eileen. They are worthy of being read more than once. It's a beautiful poem in its totality, but I am especially attracted to the 5th stanza! Impressed by both meter and rhyme:) Hugs // paul

Through the eyes of the heart we are able to see the embodiment of all noble characteristics that the person we love ought to have! You my, dearest Eileen, incarnate all those qualities in a brilliant poetic form! Certainly a seven!

To be the King for a woman of such feeling, a mind of such passion flaming with a learning lust so refining would be a legacy of love in the making Eileen. "You are the strength in love's mad hurricane...The silk of scented musk that clings to hips" a masterpiece of steadfast sensuality. Tonight I taste your passion Beloved Poetess...J.A.B. A FAV!!!
