I Write of Love

I write of love, the kind that never dies That gleams with beauty in a lover's eyes I write of love, the kind that conquers death That while it lives, it perfumes every breath I write of love that grants its loved one peace That opens passion's gate in sweet release I write of love that changes not with time That makes each day a taste of the sublime I write of love that gives no cause for doubt That guards its treasure, keeps invaders out I write of love that takes over the soul That gives of self to make the other whole I write of love that thrills at lover's touch That melts resolve while craving more of such I write of love that draws the loved one near That will protect and die for what is dear I write of love that burns as it consumes When bloom of youth has faded, it resumes I write of love that rivals strength of sun That glows brighter than stars when day is done Would that I'd tasted such a love as this A love that speaks in ardent lover's kiss I write of love, for what else can I do but wait and yearn to find this love in you. Eileen Manassian April 25, 2025

I've had a lot of dreams during my life. Some never became reality and remain dreams. I'm so glad to know this dream is finally becoming a reality. I don't know how much time I have left to actualize my dreams so thank you for helping this one become real. Congrats on POTD.

How I wish I could write the lyrics to a popular love song. You think this would do? Who will set it to music? Any ideas? Thanks for the visit and the encouragement.

It is from you that I expect great work like this. for me to expect less would be an insult. But you keep it intresting and that is also an asset.

Thanks for your comment, dear. Poetry just comes to me. Like songwriters, I find that you start with something and then it takes in its own life. Hope all is well with you.

Some of us have had our moments in the sun Eillen. Right now I'm basking, but well aware it's fleeting. I remember you in your heyday, even doing the vids on YouTube. Keep writing Eileen. Even if you move one person it is worth it
