Eileen Manassian Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Lifeless In Gold

Your fingertips reach
The crowd gasps when you touch me
Midas touch captive

A grand spectacle
Hands caress each golden curve
You smile in pleasure

I stand on display
A testament to power
Lifeless in your gold

Eileen

Sorry I haven't been active lately. I went on a lovely trip with my husband. Back to reality has me a little down and have not been up to writing. Will try to catch up soon. Hugs

Richard D Seal October 14, 2015 at 5:58 PM Fantastic poem on the scene from Goldfinger my little Desert Orchid, where Shirley Eaton is painted gold. Welcome back. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian October 15, 2015 at 11:48 AM Thanks for the welcome, Richard. I haven't been as active of late. Glad to have your post, dear. Hope to read something new from you soon.

Richard Lamoureux October 14, 2015 at 7:32 AM I would stay away from that Midas guy. A most interesting piece Eileen. Welcome back. You never did respond to my soup mail. Eileen Manassian October 14, 2015 at 2:59 PM No idea what inspired this. It originally started as a poem about someone revealing his true colors and the ensuing disappointment. My muse had other plans. Hugs

Michael Tor October 14, 2015 at 4:02 AM Eileen hope you feel better. We understand and we are here for you. I'm glad you had a lovely trip. Blessings your way. Eileen Manassian October 14, 2015 at 3:02 PM Comforting words, dear. I get discouraged when I don't hear from friends. There are so many oldies one could read from to stay connected. Thanks for dropping by.
