About Eileen Manassian

(Show Details...)

I guess you could say I'm a citizen of the world. I've traveled....and I've lived parts of my life in Iran, Lebanon, the US, and Cyprus. I am proud of my Armenian heritage. I was born in Tehran, Iran and soon after that, my family went to the States for my dad to work on his MA degree and many years later, to work on his Ed.D. I have a lot of the Middle East and the West in me, and at times....I feel confused about my identity. I do, however, cling to my Armenian roots and am outspoken about recognition by the world of the Armenian Genocide that took place over 100 years ago.

Since my parents had no common language, the language spoken in our home was English. Yes, I am most fluent in English, and I think, dream, and converse in that language, though I do speak 5 other languages to varying degrees! :)

I am melancholy/sanguine by nature and feel everything very keenly. My highs are SUPER HIGH...and my lows...SUPER LOW! I guess you could say...I'm INTENSE. I'm passionate about poetry to the point of obsession.

The events that have colored my life are the death of my mother due to MS and the war in Lebanon. As a child, it was hard for me to come to grips with the fact that my mother was ill, and to see her go from being a vibrant, well-loved teacher to a wheelchair bound, isolated woman was a very harrowing experience. I do believe, though, that there is a resurrection day and that, by His grace, I will see my Mama fully restored...free of wheelchair, able to sing, laugh, and smile again. The war in Lebanon...bombs landing all around, nights spent in bomb shelters.. has also scarred me to some degree.

What I'm most proud of? That would be my daughter...Shereen Natalie Ghali. She is the light of my life. Her name in Farsi means SWEET! :)

Currently, I teach English at Middle East University in Beirut, Lebanon. Poetry Soup has been a haven for me....most of the time! ;) I've developed amazing friendships here that are very genuine and real. My dream is to one day have my name on a volume of poetry! One can always dream....Thank you for making the effort to get acquainted. God bless!

The Love of a Friend

Blog Posted:1/13/2017 3:25:00 PM

There are few things more precious in life than the love of a friend.

Yesterday, I got package from the States, and in it were three beautiful sparkling CROWNS. They are so....beautiful. FJ Thomas sent them to me. She had previously sent me a tiara....and now this. Why? She considers me a QUEEN of Romance. I don't have the words to truly express the love and appreciation I have for this fellow poetess. That isn't all...She gifted me two PMs and one LIFETIME membership, which I am using now. How do you explain such generosity? I have never met her in person. I only met her soul and it's beautiful. I came to know and love her through her words.

I know I'm not deserving of this love, and you know what? That's what makes it all that more precious. I didn't do anything to earn it...It's just...there.

FJ has gifted and continues to gift....FREQUENTLY...memberships to people here. When I questioned her on her extravagant gifts, she replied...."Eilee (she drops out that final "n" in my name), if only I could make every goodhearted person smile, I would truly be happy."

If that doesn't reveal the true nature of this woman...nothing will.

Tiaras for Me

Not one, but three tiaras for me

She sent across the billowing sea

To grace my head with majesty

She made me feel like royalty

To help me breathe through poetry

PMs and Lifetime gifted me

She has my love and loyalty

The QUEEN is she, not me…not me!

Eileen Manassian

If you read this, LOVE you FJ. You've made a difference in my life. You help me believe in myself. You give me the chance to show my family that POET friends are REAL and SINCERE. LOVE YOU!

An apology to the rest of you...I haven't been around because my life is super hectic right now. I gave in semester grades a while ago, and now I have my dad and step-mom visiting from abroad. I'm also recording some programs for our church TV channel. Please be patient. I will get to your comments and poems as soon as I can.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 1/24/2017 11:27:00 AM

:) It's the least I could do to let FLO know how much she means to me. It's her ability to make me feel like I have got much to be thankful for that touches me so deeply. :) Thanks for visiting, dear. Hugs

This is evidence how other people's happiness and generosity can effect us. Just knowing both these fine poetesses are here in this community raises the bar methinks. For each one represents kindness, great talent and angelic character.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 1/14/2017 8:29:00 AM

You are very kind, Robert. This community is full of lovely people. FJ is a forever friend of mine. It's not just that she is generous with her love, it's that she's made me feel more....special. I need that. Thanks for the visit...and lovely words. Bless you.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 1/14/2017 8:38:00 AM

Thanks, Becca. I'm happy for me. I think God knows what we need. Flo's gifts help me when I'm feeling low....when I'm unable to love myself...which happens often. Self-esteem issues are things I struggle with. Then I remember the crowns. It's a precious gift. I appreciate the visit, dear. :) Thanks ever so much. Hugs
