I Wish You Knew

I wish you knew when it all gets a little too much, and I feel out of touch needing an emotional crutch to get me through I wish you knew It's your smile That's chases away my blues I wish you knew when I'm weary of life bone weary of the tried and true longing for something deliriously new To get me through It's you! You'll never know my admiration unadulterated awe-struck inspiration you evoke. You provoke me to feel escape is the real deal. I can't conceal what you mean to me. My safe fantasy Ulternate reality Living in life's duality Make believe's tonality My muse, you sing me into sanity You'll never know, and that's OK In this lifetime this here and now of my days yes, in so many ways you've kept me from going under. Your words, your actions: the thunder that wakes me from the mundane. It's insane that when lost in the abyss it's your screen worthy kiss that pulls me into bliss, I keep it on replay every hour of every day and I'm revived happy I'm alive I'm ready to thrive! So keep smiling portray that larger than life style that makes admiring you worthwhile. With those eyes that beguile love and be loved live and let me live here in the shadows close to your light, for you are my delight Thank you for bringing me back to life! Eileen Manassian

It surely does. It will go out with my last breath.

There are times when life feels like being repetitive and possibly boring ... going through the motions without desirable results...and that is when "safe fantasy" comes to the rescue. ~ Warm regards & hugs Eileen // paul

You are so wise, dear collaborator. Hope all is well. Blessings and love

That "thunder" has either sparked in short bursts or disappeared entirely for me. The psychological resuscitation expressed here, in between the gratitude, is nothing short of poignant, vulnerable & honest...like all of your work. Welcome, welcome back, Eileen. <3

I don’t understand why this hasn’t received more attention. It’s very moving. I don’t spend much time here these days but I do try to drop by. Hugs Rick.

Comment volleyball is what's going on. Few comment just for the sake of doing so. It's disheartening, to say the least.

Thanks, dear. I appreciate it. You know what's strange? There's so many views on this poem, but hardly any comments. What's going on?
