Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Our Heaven's In Sight

the words of wild wonder are quiet, so still
lost in translation the thunder, the thrill
lines now just maim, they wound, and they kill
but strength has returned, to live and to will

flowered remembrance, I stamp and I crush
I turn a deaf ear to yesterday's rush
I dream in new plains, so vivid so lush
paint pleasure's picture with this broken brush

I smile and sojourn to idyllic plain
serenaded by sun raptured by rain
there is no poison, my life force to drain
the breeze breathes blessings and wisdom I gain

to land where I travel, come let me lead
forget those past days, forget that you bleed
my wings can carry, your soul can be freed
I'll feed you my love, fulfill every need

the flight won't be long, our heaven's in sight
It's a thought away, a kiss in the night
a tantalized tryst; desire's delight
travel with me, to the sun, to the light

Andrea Dietrich July 1, 2015 at 11:45 PM AHHH, A galactic kind of love poem. did I get that right? I am bad with sci fi names!! Eileen, I really appreciated what you said on my one fantasy poem. It means a lot to me. I notice your meter is really getting good! this has a very smooth flow to it, lady! make it about Mars and you will have your mars poem!! Eileen Manassian July 2, 2015 at 1:29 PM Thanks, but no thanks. Mars holds no attraction. This is a poem that I had written and deleted. Thought I should revive it.
