Eileen Manassian Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

A Jealous Woman

A jealous woman am I…a very jealous woman
For you, dear, are MY man, my very own possession

Yes, I do own you; you are under my lock and key
Don’t you dare now look at her, for you belong to ME!

My love is a gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless
If you dare try to escape, you’ll suffer…I confess

You know I will track you down, and then I’ll make you pay
I’ll bring fire to your nights and torture you by day

You are branded with my love; it's plain for all to see
Revenge on seductress will come swiftly, trust in me!

The fire that burns you up when you are in MY bed
The self same will sear your heart, if you love her instead 

You see, my dear, you’re mine…all mine…mine and ONLY mine
Baby, don’t you mess things up, and I will treat you fine

I’ll be your muse and your slave; I’ll be your everything
Ask of me your every wish; I’ll treat you like a king.

A jealous woman am I, a very jealous woman...
But if you stay my own, I’ll make you taste of heaven.

Demetrios Trifiatis December 18, 2014 at 10:00 AM Congratulations on poem of the day, my "Jealous Woman". Well, my dear, why a man, if he were to be with you, would have any reason whatsoever to look at another woman? Charming poem for those who love to obey you! Hellish for those who would think not to! No comment from me because the comment has been already made by your crowning as Queen of the Day, dear Eileen! Eileen Manassian December 18, 2014 at 5:49 PM Yes...you are right, my dear poet. It is a SUPERB comment! :) Efkharisto....filakia Demetrios Trifiatis December 18, 2014 at 2:59 PM It makes me happy your poem to be the POTD! As far as comment is concerned, my congratulations and my seven I think is enough for a comment! Eileen Manassian December 18, 2014 at 12:36 PM :) Zelevo...zelevo..zelevo. Ti na kano? Thanks for visiting, my wise poet. I'm happy to see you here. Who would look at another woman? Indeed. That is a sweet sweet sentence to my heart. :) Thank you. Yes, I do like to be obeyed. I'm silly that way. Queen of the day...very strange...and hardly any comments. Perhaps I'm not the only one who is jealous! ;) Those I care for have commented, and that should do. Hugs, my dear.

Tim Smith December 18, 2014 at 9:27 AM I love this...big smiles...I had to look at this through your poems to see the picture and quote Charma was talking about....hugs Tim Eileen Manassian December 18, 2014 at 12:37 PM :) Hope you found it. Thanks for the visit and the kind words. Hugs

Hugs Eileen Manassian December 18, 2014 at 6:41 AM Are you serious? I'm doubting this POTD system...Seriously...how does it happen? I'm not complaining, but....I write my heart out in sonnets, and this and that and this gets chosen? Well, I guess now everyone will know...I'm A JEALOUS WOMAN! ;) Thanks Maurice, for being the bearer or good news!! Hugs

Charmaine Chircop December 17, 2014 at 4:20 PM I remember this poem cause it has touched me so much in the past.I wish I have written this powerful poem myself.Many times you are the voice hiding inside me..You and Richard..are like the thoughts I want to scream andcannot.We must be soul sisters : ). Fav.this gem.Is it difficult to add pics..I wish to learn..but only if its easy : ).Nice pic..The avatar too sis. Charmaine Chircop December 18, 2014 at 3:53 PM Yes..it would. be a big favour if you told me how. in soup or in mail or wherever..A pic helps one understand better the poet 's momentary thoughts I think dear..tnks so much xx Eileen Manassian December 18, 2014 at 6:48 AM Charmaine...Sweetie...I'm glad my work speaks to you. :) Yes, we are soul sisters in many ways.

Hugs Charmaine Chircop December 17, 2014 at 4:21 PM The words on the pic made me smile...but Oh so true : )

Paul Callus December 17, 2014 at 1:20 PM Ohhh how very expressive...both poem and photo!! I don't think I've ever experienced jealousy...and I don't think I would want to be on the receiving end of it either! // paul Paul Callus December 17, 2014 at 2:55 PM Mind you, Eileen....instead of jealousy there were a few times when I experienced pain and disillusion.... Eileen Manassian December 17, 2014 at 2:44 PM Paul....a little jealousy can be good. no? Well, to each his own, I guess. I wrote this some time ago....Yes, I am a bit possessive and can be jealous...What's mine is mine...But life teaches you many things....Jealousy can be destructive as well...and sometimes whether you are jealous or not...things don't change, so...what's the point. Thanks, Doc, for this time here on the couch. I hope you don't charge me too much. ;) hugs

David Meade December 17, 2014 at 11:57 AM Intense and sweet -- such a powerful love, the yin and yang of a relationship . . . you sentence structure was awesome -- short little punches!!

SO happy I can do that here. oh...Forgot about the typo. Will fix it. Thanks.
