Eileen Manassian Poet Personification

Ballad of Mistress Moon

The sun has deigned to smile on me 
And make me his mistress moon
He fills with fire and burns in me
With heat of the sultry noon

I’m ravished by his solar flares
That make my face to glow
All night there is a radiance
In silver streams that flow

On velvet sheets of midnight black
I reign, mistress supreme
The stars all look with wonder on
Entranced by each moon beam

The love he made remains in me
And pulsates forming tides
The sea and oceans can't be still
From love that in me bides

The waves, they swell and do my will
The mistress of the night
Reflecting love from lover Sun
Until he rules in light

The sun, he comes to smile at me
His lover, mistress moon
He raptures me in his embrace
My splendor will shine soon

Eileen Manassian

Kabuteng P.Ink K. September 27, 2014 at 10:26 AM sorry have to sleep now, been awake since 4am, it's 1130pm now-- and have to be on watch for my dad-- he hasn't been feeling well, so will catch some shut eye... will get back to you soon I hope. Again thank you for reading my writes, even if they are old posts. Sending hugs to you. <3

Kabuteng P.Ink K. September 27, 2014 at 10:24 AM I had to smile as I read this beauty, Eileen-- I couldn't help but think of one of my own poems, that touched on sun's point of view--and can't help but think that this could be from the moon's point of view, a complement of sorts-- ahh, the love story of sun and moon-- has always entranced me, I do sometimes interchange them, but most of the time, my moon is the feminine one. Loved reading this, Eileen. I will try to catch up on your other poems soon, and respond to what you said in mine

Robert Gruhn August 23, 2014 at 1:40 PM Wow, my dear Poetess Eileen, this piece invokes very strong images of hot passion and love, awesome, I just wonder why my poem "Fiery Red Flaming Poem" is rejected by the prudish judges here in the Soup! Actually, I do know why, it's the clique! ;))) Best personal regards, Robert Eileen Manassian August 23, 2014 at 3:10 PM Robert, thank you for your visit here.
