Celebrity Crush

I could watch you all day
Listen to your velvety voice
as I dream the hours away
I wonder, is that OK?

A waste of time
some might say
Granted...that may be true,
but what's more beautiful than you
They don't know the sublime
Needs adoration's attention
Unadulterated affection
The crave of connection

You're my fantasy incarnation 
Infatuation's insanity
Delirium's dream
Passion's pledge

I can watch you all day
and into the stretches of the night
till the flooding of dawn's light
You're my delight,
my escape
from pain to pleasure
A dose without measure
of bliss
Imagining that kiss
Is sweet enough

Escapism's ecstasy
takes me
above and beyond
my mundane reality

I could watch you all day,
What's the harm?
Your brand of charm 
makes me sway,
and there's simply no way
I'll give you up. 

You'll never know
when loneliness lingers
and sorrow stifles 
Your smile scintillates...
it invigorates
Motivates 
to move on
from dreary night
to dauntless dawn

Thanks for the rush, Ji Chang Wook,
my celebrity crush.

Dedicated to Ji Chang Wook, my favourite South Korean actor. He's phenomenal... and celebrity crush! ;) Come on, Soupers, a little levity is good for the soul. It's all in good fun.

Jan Allison Date: 7/22/2024 3:52:00 PM oh i can see why you have a celebrity crush and a little escapism is what we need - You'll always be the queen of passion to me! hugs jan xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 7/23/2024 4:03:00 AM So sorry about your issues at home, no one really knows what is going on in our lives Eileen, and we can sure do without dung being thrown in soup. I am sure he would have some sort of page you could send it to or to his management company xx - you have nothing to lose. Eileen Manassian Date: 7/22/2024 5:17:00 PM Thanks, dear. What can I tell you? I'm stuck at home with time to kill. Because of Dad's condition, my hubby and I have to take separate vacations. He's with my daughter in Cyprus at the moment. I go in August. I'm feeling sorry for myself so yes...k-dramas keep me sane. Ji Chang Wook is an inspiration. Wish I could get this poem to him. Thanks for stopping by, dear. Big hugs

Paula Goldsmith Date: 7/22/2024 1:24:00 PM I enjoyed reading your fun "Celebrity Crush" write. Sorry I do not know this person. Have a fun day watching the movies.................... Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 7/22/2024 5:20:00 PM Thanks for stopping by. It can get tedious to have to read subtitles, but he's so totally worth it. There isn't a genre he cannot play. He's amazing. :)

Silent One Date: 7/18/2024 12:48:00 PM I can see you really have a crush on him and I know you have told me your love K dramas.. They are very good.. My favourite actor is Song Kang, I think he was brilliant in my demon.. Login to Reply Silent One Date: 7/19/2024 1:29:00 PM Queen of tears was a great series.. although they do seem to make them so long.. Eileen Manassian Date: 7/18/2024 2:10:00 PM Oh! He is dreamy too. Yes. Song is amazing as well. He was good in Predicting Love and Weather. He's in the army now. I really love Kim Soo Hyun. He's the highest paid actor and was good in Queen of Tears. However, JCW had a versatility that's amazing. He also has a lovely voice. He does theatre and is just absolutely the BEST. I didn't know you're a K-drama fan. Thanks for reading.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/17/2024 11:02:00 PM I think escapism is important. My movie star crush is Haley Barrie. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 7/18/2024 2:38:00 AM Oh! Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed. She's pretty... for sure. With hubby traveling so much, I need something to fill the loneliness. I don't drive in Beirut. Too nerve wracking, so basically I'm home bound. K-drama fiils the void. Glad to see you visit. I've also been reading my pervious poems from way back when. It's eye opening. Seemed we were closer then. Anyway... Big hugs
