Don’t try to love me… Please...walk away Love someone else Just….hear what I say….. My love is sunshine My love is rain My love brings pleasure My love gives pain My love is darkness My love is light My love is weakness My love is might My love knows anger My love knows peace My love brings madness My love brings release My love is life My love is death My love suffocates My love gives breath My love is violent My love is calm My love is poison My love is balm No two days alike Not even two minutes One minute it’s serious The next it’s a game You bask in my glow You hide from my sting But you want me more… More than...anything Don’t love me, Baby Don’t hold on to me Say your sweet goodbyes And set your heart free Eileen Manassian

It is a poem delving deep into your heart and soul. You are wonderful for sharing youself with us. And it will not dissuade any one in the slightest from loving you. This the essence of yourself your inner beauty, it gives you the power to enchant. This dichotomy is where you dwell it is what makes you so wonderfully unique. Love Shane xxx

Eileen...this strong, sincere poem is surely going to have the opposite effect of what you're pleading for!!! There's going to be an endless queue vying for your love!! // paul

I'm not so sure about that, Paul. I'm a topsy turvy woman....High and low tide....oasis and desert....oh, but I do know how to love....passionately. People like me....need brave souls to weather out the storms so they can bask in the glorious sunlight. Thanks for this lovely lovely lovely comment. Hugs

Your love is greedy....your love is selfless... Your love is insecure...your love is self assured...your love is precious...your love is vicious...that 6th verse is my favorite Eileen...a very beautiful self assessment...it makes you even more tempting my Beloved Poetess...J.A.B.

My love IS all those things you mentioned.....and more.

Thank you, Justin. Would that I could believe your words. I've lived and loved long and I know that complexities in character and volatility are not easy to take to the bosom and cherish. Ah...it only happens in stories like Wuthering Heights. I find myself with not much on hand to tempt with....Perhaps my words will do. Thanks for the lovely visit. You breathe life into my soul.

Yes, Liam. Some people's love is constant...unchanging...and true...firm...and secure. That is a treasure. I believe you are such a man yourself...I wish you every happiness, my dear.

The repetitive use of the phrase "My love" strengthens the message of this poem and captures the attention of the reader. This use of repetition is successful in this application and sets the mood for this poem. Well done. Emile.

As a teacher, I know that repetition has its place, Emile. I do use repetition quite a bit in my writes. Thank you for your positive comments. An appreciated visit....

Thank you, Rajat. Yes, you know me well. Someone said I'm a Hurricane of a Storm. I am...but when the hurricane passes...I am spent. I am spent. Thank you for your lovely visit and words.
