Eileen Manassian Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Legendary Lovers

Now Adam and his beauteous Eve
A love like ours could not conceive

And Cleo and her Anthony
Could not compare to you and me

Sweet Juliette and Romeo,
our kind of love could never know

Brave Lancelot and Guinevere
Our strength of our love would surely fear

Napoleon and Josephine
of love were not the king and queen

Harsh Rochester and gentle Eyre
To love like we do would not dare

See Pyramus and his Thisbe
They died for love, but you and me

We live for love, and truth be told
Our love is ever new, not old

The tales of lovers, one by one
When matched with ours become undone

One day our names in verse will live
No greater love could cupid give

You are the symbol of true love
The kind that’s fashioned up above

I am your lover, muse, and guide
Within love’s castle we abide

The two of us can show this world
What love can do once it’s unfurled

We are the best of lovers, we
will shine in hallowed history

the legend of all legends, see
is sweetest tale of you and me

Frederic Parker September 18, 2017 at 11:25 AM wishes and dreams lifted by romantic wings in worlds where lovers feet never touch the ground and hands are held on moonlight walks on sandy shores where beckoning waves are found...my first thoughts poet after reading of your dreamer's list of famous loves... Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 2:57 AM Your posts are poems in and of themselves, dear. How sweet this post. Thank you for visiting me. Hugs

Robert Lindley September 18, 2017 at 10:32 AM YOU ARE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT IN MY MIND-- THE QUEEN OF ROMANCE.. And your light shines brightly in every poem you gift us with my friend.. A fav.. Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 2:58 AM I cherish that title, Robert. There is so much ugliness in this world...romance and love help us bear the pain of unfulfilled dreams and ideals. Thanks for the visit, dear.

Richard Lamoureux September 18, 2017 at 8:10 AM I just love this. If you are to be a fool to be a "Romantic fool" is the best choice. It certainly makes you an exceptional writer. Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 2:59 AM Thanks, Richard. Your praise is always a source of blessing to me. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my poetic journey and life.

Silent One September 18, 2017 at 8:04 AM Eileen this is something I had mind to write.. very romantic.. Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 3:00 AM Thanks, SO. Tell your muse to give you the words...it's a lovely theme to write one.

Andrea Dietrich September 17, 2017 at 7:09 PM a love like this would have been blessed by Aphrodite herself!! Wow, so romantic, Eileen. I love it. You forgot one couple that I truly admired in history: Abelard and Heloise. Do you know their story? And I will be waiting to see a double sonnet from you! Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 3:01 AM I didn't before, but I did read up on it. So sad. Thanks for the post, dear. I am going to try my hand at the double sonnet. I'll use your poem as my model. You are flawless. Hugs

Russell Sivey September 17, 2017 at 4:57 PM This is such the romantic write my friend! It's nice to have your voice here within the Soup again Eileen! I have missed your special words! I surely loved reading your delightful poem this afternoon, what a grand piece, Great Work!! Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 3:03 AM Thanks, Russell. I hope you are on the mend. I've been so busy at work. I finally am getting some help with the load I'm carrying. I'm teaching 5 courses, and the paperwork I have to correct is keeping my hands tied. I'll try to write more when I can.

Ilene Bauer September 17, 2017 at 3:21 PM this is so well done, eileen! bravo to you! Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 3:05 AM Love having your visits, Ilene. :) Thank you for being my friend. Hugs

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 17, 2017 at 3:18 PM This is delightful :) hugs! mo Eileen Manassian September 21, 2017 at 3:05 AM Delightful will do it for me, Maureen. :) Thanks! Good to "see" you here.

Jan Allison September 17, 2017 at 1:04 PM aww Eileen this is so beautiful and romantic.. we just need the name of your hubby!!! I hope one day to write romance half as beautifully as you do but it is not something I am good at as i much prefer humour:-) hugs jan xx Eileen Manassian September 17, 2017 at 1:08 PM :) You are such a sweetie pie, dear. I'm just a romantic fool....romanticizing everything. Hubby is not romantic, I'm afraid, but I write to my heart's content. He says I'll never grow up...and he's right. I never will. I'll continue to be an idealist...hopeless...romantic fool. We need the humor too, dear. :) Write on....

Anne-Lise Andresen September 17, 2017 at 12:58 PM - Love this line "We live for love, and truth be told" - Beautifully written with many romantic couples, dear Eileen :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Eileen Manassian September 17, 2017 at 1:00 PM Thanks, Sunshine, for bringing me warmth with your post. Hugs to you.

Sunlite Wanter September 17, 2017 at 12:23 PM Your poetry reflects a high education. I surely enjoyed it (and envy it). Eileen Manassian September 17, 2017 at 12:28 PM :) Thank you, dear. I can't take all the credit. I needed a reminder, so I did look up famous lovers. There were many, but I chose the ones that I knew and like and that I could rhyme with. Thanks for the visit, dear.
