Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

Eileen Queen of the Romantic Pen

Romantic dreams flowing from her pen.
From her imagination to the page.
Choose your lover, re-live the dream again.

Perhaps she is a warrior or a sage.
Her creativity has no end.
From her imagination to the page.

Be prepared to have your mind bend.
You'll experience both pleasure and pain.
Her creativity has no end.

She'll show you sunshine soak you in rain.
Let you drink from a lovers fountain.
You'll experience both pleasure and pain.

She will lead you to the highest mountain.
Causing your heart to ache with wanting
You'll experience both pleasure and pain

Her images are real and haunting
Romantic dreams flowing from her pen.
Causing your heart to ache with wanting
Choose your lover, re-live the dream again.

Dedicated to Eileen Manassian, the true Queen of the Romantic Pen.

Poet Tacito August 16, 2013 at 8:41 AM Absolutely beautiful. It's wonderful to see how other poets inspire others here on PS. I firmly believe that's what it is all about here. How we make each other think & feel inside. It's so vital. Poet Tacito August 16, 2013 at 2:32 PM You're very kind to say that. I'm grateful. Richard Lamoureux August 16, 2013 at 8:51 AM I agree Drake, we are very fortunate to have so many talented writers on this site, yourself included.

Christine Phillips August 16, 2013 at 6:58 AM Hmmm...your writing is getting better and better. "Perhaps she is a warrior or a sage. Her creativity has no end. From her imagination to the page" A very nice verse. Don't get too lost in the romantic world... stay in touch with reality. Beautiful poem. Richard Lamoureux August 16, 2013 at 7:52 AM Thanks Christine, no worries I have many worlds to explore.

Eileen Manassian August 15, 2013 at 10:47 PM I saw the title, and hoped against hope...(lots of smiley faces!) A word gift is, to me, the most precious kind. 3 reasons (of the many) that make this a poem I will print out and treasure: 1) It's a BEAUTIFUL TERZANELLE gift by my mentor. 2) It validates my work as a poetess which at times I doubt 3) The particular choice of words uplift now when I need encouragement. Richard, though I'm enamored by words, at times like these I find them useless. Just..THANK YOU..from the bottom of my heart. Richard Lamoureux August 16, 2013 at 6:28 AM You are very welcome Eilleen. Have a great day.

Red Fiery August 15, 2013 at 9:01 PM A very beautiful dedication. Richard , this poem is an honour to this creative lady...I must read her works now. Hi would love to be inspired too. Cheers ! Richard Lamoureux August 16, 2013 at 6:29 AM Thanks Red
