Eileen Manassian Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Flights of Passion

You give me a lift
to those heights I once dreamt of.
You support me in your warm embrace
and the heat comes through the silk and lace.
I cling to you with all my might.
We pass unseen from day to night.


          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.
 
You ravish my soul
in pleasured ways that you know.
Fingers rouse each dormant fantasy;
your voice entreats me to set them free.
I yield as your lips have their way,
thoughts break free; I’m taken away. 

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.
 
We lose count of time
as it comes to a standstill.
We can read each other’s thoughts so well
though we dare not talk or break the spell. 
Our eyes and cheeks with pleasure glow.
Emotions rise and freely flow.

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.

We lose conscious thought
as pleasure exerts control.
Our bodies prove the zenith is near
and we arrive in euphoria’s sphere.
We revel in passionate thrill
until every tremor is still.

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.

Paul Callus December 9, 2015 at 2:48 PM Pardon the delay in coming over to visit you, Eileen. I was and am still busy...holding a full plate! Like Richard I have enjoyed reading this a couple of times more before commenting. I must say we did a pretty good job:) Thank you for once again being a pleasant and willing collaborator; you always rise to the occasion. Hugs // paul

Richard D Seal December 5, 2015 at 2:59 PM You won't need a passport to catch this flight, Smoothly written, a great collab, well done both of you. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian December 5, 2015 at 11:14 PM NO...never need a passport for these flights, Mr Seal. I'm a frequent flyer, so I get to fly free, and I'm well known.....no passport needed. Hugs

Richard Lamoureux December 5, 2015 at 1:24 PM Definitely worth another read! You both did amazing with this one Eileen! Eileen Manassian December 5, 2015 at 11:13 PM Thanks, Richard. I'm beaming with your praise. It's easy with Paul because he sends me something he has already worked on, and I can then respond. I like that. I'm proud of our four collab poems, and I hope I can work with him again. He gets me to write when I'm unable to. Hope all is well with you.

Richard Lamoureux December 4, 2015 at 10:10 AM You could never dissapoint! Eileen Manassian December 4, 2015 at 10:39 AM :) Thanks ever so much, Richard. Hope all is well with you. :) I'm doing well....Hugs

Viv Wigley December 4, 2015 at 12:39 AM Seamless work, Eileen, you both dance well. Viv x Eileen Manassian December 4, 2015 at 10:41 AM Thanks, Viv. That's all Paul. I had the easier parts to play. He did the refrains and the first and third stanzas...mine are the 2nd and fourth. :) Glad to have you pass by.

Richard Lamoureux December 3, 2015 at 9:58 AM Wow! This was worth the wait! Ooh la la magnificence! You both should be very proud of this piece. 77777777----------- Paul Callus December 9, 2015 at 2:43 PM Thank you Richard...I've been busy; had to deal with other priorities. // paul Eileen Manassian December 3, 2015 at 11:27 AM Thank you, Richard. Paul has always been very gracious to me. He knows what I'm away and can't seem to get back into the writing mood. I think he send me this one to get me going again. We've done four collabs together, or is it five? Not sure. I worked so hard on this one because he writes so well, and i didn't want to disappoint him. :) I'm pleased with the result. He did the refrains.....Glad you like it.
