Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Constanza

Your body is my sacred shrine
Its pilgrims are my seeking hands
My hungry lips traverse these lands

I worship you as though divine
No sacrifice I count as great
My only vow, your heart to sate

On lips, I spill my sweetest wine
The taste I take in burning kiss
You bless me with the touch of bliss

My fruit is yours on which to dine
I offer you the richest fare
My soul’s disrobed, my body bare

Our union mirrors the sublime
The galaxies explode in praise
This sacrament, we’ll keep always

Your body is my scared shrine
I worship you as though divine
On lips, I spill my sweetest wine 
My fruit is yours on which to dine
Our union mirrors the sublime

I posted my attempt a while ago, but miss the flow that usually accompanies my rhyming forms. Hugs // paul Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:57 PM Dear...I'm sure you were stupendous. Sending you hugs and thanks for making me feel that I've done well.

Connie Marcum Wong November 18, 2017 at 9:53 PM This is very, very lovely Eileen! I am honored that you wrote a Constanza for the contest. I have to put this into my Faves! Sensual but elegantly tasteful, just what I love! Thank you Eileen. : ) p.s. The word Constanza means Constance which is my given name. Eileen Manassian November 19, 2017 at 6:48 AM It's not my first one, dear. :) I've written one before for another contest. I won second place with my poem Constanza Weeps. I do love this form, and you should be so proud of yourself for coming up with something so original. Also, thank you that you said I handled the subject tastefully. That means a great deal to me. Hugs
