Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

I Wish

I wish I were an angel
To flood your world with my light
To hold, comfort and cheer you
All through long lonely night

I wish I were a fairy
To flit about your dear heart
To give it tiny squeezes
When about to fall apart
	
I wish I were a goddess
Of beauty a paragon
So you would gaze and wonder
Thoughts of any other gone

I wish I were a muse
Living there inside your mind
To offer inspiration
When right words you need to find

I wish I were a princess
Blessed with luxury so fine
I’d make you live in splendor
If you promise to be mine

I wish I were a star
Sprinkling stardust down on you
Guiding each and every step
Make your dearest wish come true

I wish I were the moon
Working on your inner tides
Drawing you ever closer
Till in me your love abides

I wish I were the sun
Burning to the very core
Searing you with my passion
Rays touching what I adore

I wish I were a flower
To bloom nurtured by your care
Wrap you in my loving scent
Make life beautiful and fair

I wish I were the wind
Caressing you every way
Enfolding you in my arms
Seductress having my way

I wish I were the rain
That wets body through and through
That sprinkles love droplets soft
But then drums itself on you

I wish I were the sea
Foaming, churning ecstasy
To draw you into my depth
Riding waves, unleashed and free

But I am just a woman
I’m as simple as can be
But if you give me your love
All these wonders you will see

Eileen Manassian Ghali

Inspired in part by Shania Twain’s song: “Jealous”   I love that woman…She is awesome. Wish I could see her in Vegas…She is there performing now…Such great songs….

John Posey October 30, 2013 at 7:02 AM You cover the 'wishful thinking' spectrum very well. I wrote one some time ago that runs to the other end of that spectrum.... You should like "If I Had Three Wishes"..... You write some powerful stuff, darlin'.... Jake

You've hit the 'Ka Ching' with this write my little Desert Orchid. Then again, we should be careful what we wish for lol. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian October 28, 2013 at 11:37 AM You would think that, Mr Seal! Richard D Seal October 23, 2013 at 2:39 PM I'd have thought the too crazy would be right up your literal street lol Eileen Manassian October 23, 2013 at 2:08 PM Mr Seal....I didn't know you were a Shania Fan!!!! "It Only Hurts When I Breath." She is such a feminist. In My Car...or...I'll be the Driver" one of my favorites..YES...nothing like a woman getting behind the wheel....In Cyprus...I drove like a daredevil...Here...I don't drive...Too crazy! Oh Oh..what about "Don't Do That." HA...at be careful....Daring is my second name, Mr Seal! Thanks for the visit.
