I want to live today into my being I want to love this hour into fullness I want to write this moment into eternity Let me live let me love let me write don't burden me with responsibilities with agendas and appointments with guilt ridden reminders of what I must do or say today let me dream it all away who knows I might be sleep seduced death directed before I attain the apex of aroused awareness what a crime that would be if I lost this opportunity to live to love to write let me be drenched in destiny can't you see desire denounces distractions from what is meant to be Let me live Let me love Let me write I need to simply be the woman inside of me a lover of life, love, and poetry Eileen Manassian

It would be lovely to live in Utopia, unburdened with everyday problems, and being able to live, love and write! We do get such arousing moments, but alas, they are but fleeting ones! Life demands its own priorities and we can't afford to ignore them! Still, there is no harm in dreaming....and I will gladly join you:) Hugs // paul

:) Thank you, Paul. It's good to dream. I so wanted to stay home and just immerse myself in poetry. It's 4 AM, and I'm up doing just that. Poetry is one of my greatest delights in life. Thank you for sharing in the joy with me. Hugs

To be one with your spirit and not be dragged into the world of unimportance that humanity burdens itself with is a blessing of the purest form, for no one knows the length of days to their life..My first thought after reading your poem

Thank you, Frederic. I'm forever cognizant of the transitory nature of life. I want to live it to the full. Thank you for your insightful comment.
