Eileen Manassian Poet Free verse

Forgive Me

You leave little sprinkles
Of crystalized sugary words
Everywhere you go
Traces of sweetness
Meant to tantalize
Everyone the same portion
Of the rich desert of your soul
Little sugar sprinkles
Just a little lick…

Please forgive me
I don’t appreciate
Something that melts so fast
With no staying power
For my ravenous soul

Forgive me 
For not fainting with delight
When you and I both know
That only the most decadent 
Oozing chocolaty delight
Drizzled in rich caramel
Prepared with me in mind
Will satisfy my mind
And melt in my mouth…

Sweetness with staying power
To be savored bit by wicked bit
Delicious delectable dessert
Of your admiration and delight
Prepared with my taste in mind

Forgive me
If the little sprinkles
You've sweetly left behind
Don’t satiate my soul
Don’t tempt my demanding tongue

Save my share for others
For this woman only dines
On love’s full fantasy feast
With the dessert not meant to share
My very own chocolate ecstasy
Enjoyed ONLY by me

So forgive me…
Forgive me
If I pass
Your little tiny treat
Of sprinkled sugary words
Down there at my feet

Jon A Cavanaugh October 29, 2013 at 11:39 PM As I was reading this delectable poem my favorite dessert kept coming to mind. It is called a chocolate lava cake. A small cake with warm molten chocolate fudge in the reservoir of the cake. It melts in ones mouth and lingers forever. Oh, how I miss this cake. Oh, how I want want now. I so enjoyed your poem but now I have to find one of these cakes. Eileen Manassian October 30, 2013 at 4:10 PM I KNOW THE VERY ONE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! YES............ABSOLUTE ECSTASY!!!!!!!!!!! Unrivaled! We have the same taste, my dear. Thanks for your visit. I forgive you for getting sidetracked...I mean....LAVA CAKE will do it! Hugs!

Richard D Seal October 29, 2013 at 8:50 PM All or nothing eh, wern't you ever taught to share and share alike my little Dessert Orchid lol. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian October 30, 2013 at 4:14 PM Yes, Mr Seal........It is! I say, shamelessly, that I have been spoiled by a very doting father.....spoiled rotten.

And I will have my dessert when and how I want it...Oh....you do get me boiling at times, Mr Seal!

Karl Marszalowicz October 29, 2013 at 11:49 AM write a string of sweet poems. write about children in one, about music in another, heck write a poem about poems call it "Looking at Ourselves" or "Introspection" Eileen Manassian October 29, 2013 at 3:37 PM Thanks for the advice, Karl...Also, thanks for reading my poem....

Poet Tacito October 29, 2013 at 10:38 AM I want candy. A nice Snickers bar...with Gelato. Oh, sorry, you kept mentioning sweets & chocolate. Anyway, the message here if straight forward & bold: "You are not an appetizer. You are a full dish to be savored...for life. Eileen Manassian October 29, 2013 at 3:39 PM DRAKE?????? HOW...how are we on the same page???? I LOVE Snickers! This is weird! Gelato..Italian icecream? We have a lovely place here with that name.......BTW........I tolerate Ice cream, but what I need something sweet......It's got to be gooeeeeeyyyyyy chocolaty...Like...Chocolate fondant...The only exception being Cheesecake! Love that too! Your last line and a half????? Absolutely delicious!
