Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Dungeon Mistress

I showed you inner sanctum of my heart
where truth and fantasy together lie
My scented rhymes were lover's guide and chart
unlocked my treasures were to searching eye

I showed you every splendor tinged in gold
a place were luxury was redefined
your hands I filled with more than you could hold
with chords of silken dreams I wished to bind

I sated you on Oriental sweets
and played the mistress to your every whim
into your craving mouth I placed my treats
so that your blazing love would never dim

But once you had your fill, my heart you left
A dungeon dark and dank of love bereft

Eileen

Paul Callus June 21, 2015 at 11:53 AM Unfortunately this happens all the time. Some give while others take, then go their way. Too trusting?? A loving heart needs a line of defense, otherwise it will bleed, painfully. Hugs // paul

Arthur Vaso June 21, 2015 at 12:30 AM You had me with the title you captured me with the verse!

Anwer Ghani June 20, 2015 at 4:43 PM Eileen , thanks for this higher language , your text dictionary is so selective , it brings the reader to a special meanings field ( it is the field of a deluxe angelic and lively meanings)

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 20, 2015 at 1:40 PM Beautifully written sonnet, Eileen! From highest highs to lowest lows, a tragedy of heart...I love the "Royal Hotness" title. You are definitely the Queen of Heat! Hugs, Rhonda

Poet Destroyer A June 20, 2015 at 6:45 AM Good day, Eileen. ... stopped by to say hi and appreciate the sonnet. A beautiful stunning write. Ends sadly. In a way I feel that is me in the dungeon. I have no more :[. ...... Enjoyed. ... :) Eileen Manassian June 20, 2015 at 1:04 PM I'm so sorry to read this, PD. We often are too giving...and for that we suffer. Life has much to teach us. Being taken for granted is extremely painful. I know that you will follow your heart and mind, PD. Love can hurt sometimes, but where would we be without it? Hugs Poet Destroyer A June 20, 2015 at 10:56 AM Eileen, I allowed my man to trap me this way. I'm finally opened my eyes. Yesterday he stepped all over my heart. I said enough is enough. Can you believe, I sat there blaming myself for being so distance. I became so distance, because I gave him my heart, my warmth, my silken dreams, my tightness. He mocked me, ... then I decided to dim my life. Never did I allow him to take me for granted. I'm free now. Yes I love him, but now I ask who does he love Eileen Manassian June 20, 2015 at 10:31 AM PD...I don't believe a soul like yours could ever be in a dungeon, dear. You are strong and beautiful. A free spirit. No one can keep you down. I know this to be true. I'm so touched by your visit. I'm sending hugs
