Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Blushing Virgin Soul

Yes, you’ve touched my body, 
but you haven't touched my soul
No, it wasn't deep enough 
To make this woman whole

Yes, you've kissed my lips now
but my pain you haven't kissed
these scars that mark my being
Each one, your lips have missed

Yes, you’ve sated cravings
but unsated are my dreams
you've not immersed your being
in thoughts that flow in streams

Yes, you’ve breathed my scent now
but you haven't been perfumed
my fragrant feelings linger
by them you’re not consumed

I lie in the wake of union
I lie here unknown, untouched
my soul a blushing virgin
with robes still tightly clutched

Eileen Manassian

Paul Callus November 17, 2017 at 2:03 PM If it does not work out right from the start, I doubt whether that soul will get its true share of love, Eileen. A lovely and touching poem which could be an eye-opener for some! Hugs // paul

Silent One November 17, 2017 at 1:57 PM Ahem... Damn! Eileen, i love this type of poetry.. I used to write like this when I was young and have posted some sensual ones on this site.. I personally dont believe they are as appreciated on here, however, I applaud you for posting this.. Its very sensual with powerful intimate imagery...

Richard Lamoureux November 17, 2017 at 1:39 PM Or in the other sense *lol*. A fellow once told his lover he was hung like a horse, unfortunately for her it was a Sea Horse! Eileen Manassian November 17, 2017 at 1:40 PM OH...Richard. You crack me up. I needed that. I'm feeling a little down. Thanks!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 14, 2017 at 10:36 AM Phenomenal piece Eileen. Stunningly beautiful. Fave <3 Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:42 AM Thank you, dear Maureen. I'm glad you liked it. :) Much appreciated.

Richard Lamoureux November 13, 2017 at 7:06 PM It sounds like he needs an emotional enlargement so he can penetrate more deeply. Some men are not fortunate to be endowed in this way.;0) Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:43 AM What a comment, Richard. You are clever with words, and yes...not many men are well endowed in this sense!

Charmaine Chircop November 13, 2017 at 8:17 AM Aw dear friend...Passion bleeds from that heart..So wonderful to be here again after five months away Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:45 AM Welcome back, dear. It's good to know that you have decided to return. I remember writing a poem for you when you decided to leave...I was so sad. Now you are back. Welcome.

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty November 13, 2017 at 7:26 AM Eillen, you are growing to be a superpoet. I loved it. Thanks. Hugs. Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:45 AM What a kind comment. Thank you!

Joanna Daniel November 13, 2017 at 6:32 AM Highlights the superficiality of physical love, well written, Eileen:) Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:46 AM Thank you, Jo. That was exactly what I was hoping to capture with my lines.

Arthur Vaso November 12, 2017 at 9:22 PM Wow wow wow, such loving and deep emotions, what a sensual poem! Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:46 AM Thanks, dear. This act is one that gives the most opportunity for the sharing of body and soul...unfortunately, it sometimes become just a coupling of bodies. So much is lost in the process...

Eve Roper November 12, 2017 at 7:57 PM Excellent write, your soul is in every write you compose. Hugs sweet friend... Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:47 AM Thank you, sweet Eve. I try to put heart in soul in everything that I write. I know no other way to express myself. Blessings.

Susan Ashley November 12, 2017 at 5:13 PM Eileen, such dramatic and beautifully written insight expressed in your wonderful poem about superficial love... Excellent and enjoyed! Eileen Manassian November 14, 2017 at 10:49 AM Thank you, Susan. I appreciate the thoughtful post on this poem. Will swing by to visit you soon. :)

James Marshall Goff November 12, 2017 at 1:03 PM Yes..gorgeous flow...filled with loving image...such a unique perspective, inside a females mind, astonishing! Eileen Manassian November 12, 2017 at 3:19 PM Yes, Jimbo. Inside a female's mind will certainly astonish. Love making is so much more than the physical act. It's so sad when it just remains...physical. Good to have a visit from you, dear.

Ilene Bauer November 12, 2017 at 9:31 AM ooh - this is so good, eileen! beautifully written and rhymed... Eileen Manassian November 12, 2017 at 3:19 PM Thank you. It wasn't easy, for some reason. I had to do several revisions, but I'm happy with the end result. The meter isn't perfect, but I had to incorporate some words that I felt would carry over that...Hugs, dear one.
