Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

Angel of Paradise- Artist Andrea Bocelli

Oh, angel, how you flutter 'bout my heart
The joy of love and living you impart
Your voice my soul does carry into flight
Illuminates with incandescent light

Your eyes are blind to wonders of this world
Yet, when you sing, its beauties are unfurled
I live a dream unmarred by pain and strife
Where passion, joy, and love are verdant, rife

You sing my heart into that special place
Where naught resides but beauty touched by grace
Angelic face when lit up by a smile
Invites my heart to dream a little while

Bocelli, angel sweet of paradise 
In blinded eyes, the light of heaven lies

Honestly J.T. April 1, 2014 at 10:04 PM Well done Eileen. I like Bocelli as well. I like "Time To Say Goodbye", "Nessun Dorma", and "L'Abitudine". Eileen Manassian April 1, 2014 at 10:21 PM I will check the second two you mentioned...Do you know Un Nuovo Giorno...OH MY! Just superb. Vivo Per Lei is the one that I can't get out of my head. Thanks for sharing, JT. Heard on Drake's show! :) So good to HEAR your voice.

Demetrios Trifiatis March 31, 2014 at 4:27 AM Truly blind are those who their soul's eyes can not see although their material sight is functioning! Bocelli not only can see with his soul's eyes but also possesses a soul's hearing and feeling that is why touches the hearts and souls of those for whom he sings for! Bocelli, certain am I, would feel proud of you my dear Eileen for this soulful sonnet! Eileen Manassian March 31, 2014 at 7:47 AM Thanks, my dear poet. It is so good to have this visit from you.Thank you for your kind words. I do wish I could see Bocelli once in my lifetime. That would be a dream come true!! Hugs :)

Eileen Manassian March 31, 2014 at 7:53 AM You know I'm a hopeless romantic. He is the embodiment of romance...A blind singer...with the voice of an angel. OH! His middle name is ANGEL...Isn't that incredible! Eileen Manassian March 31, 2014 at 7:52 AM OH YES! What a dream boat! :) Just what I love...in every aspect, as you mentioned. I love the half shaven look....the black and white hair....the beautiful smile...his beautiful voice...ITALIAN...Oh yes! The way he smiles when someone kisses his cheek! HA HA! Yes! I am smitten by the man! :) What a fabulous artist. Glad you share my admiration, Charmaine! Let's go to a concert together and scream at the top of our lungs....BOCELLI!!!!! T'amo!!!

Yes...I was so inspired yesterday I started working on a blog, but...didn't post it. Maybe I will a little later. Thanks for the visit.

Richard Lamoureux March 30, 2014 at 8:55 AM Beautiful! He is my sweeties favorite musical artist. She says he caresses her soul. I just found out a few days ago that he became blind as a result of a soccer accident. Very sad. Eileen Manassian March 31, 2014 at 7:57 AM Caresses her soul...Well, yes. He can do that. Certainly. Yes, I just read up on him and that is correct. How very sad, indeed. Thanks for the visit, Richard.

Paul Callus March 30, 2014 at 6:37 AM I love this Eileen. For those who know Bocelli, you reserved two inspiring verses for a grand finale. He makes us aware of things we tend to take for granted. // paul Eileen Manassian March 31, 2014 at 8:26 AM Thanks, Paul. :) Glad to have your visit and thoughtful remarks.
