Romantic Ramblings About the Ultimate Man

You’re the finest man I have ever seen
You are handsome and strong
Virile
Full bodied
Beautiful to the eyes
Alluring to the hands
Your lips
Send messages
“Come and taste
And never thirst again”
Your eyes
Changing hues
Like the sea
The sky
In between
Iris pools where I love to swim
Liquid pleasures draw me
The depth….unfathomable
I dive deep
Deeper still
Till I am breathless
Needing to resurface

Your mind
Fertile
A garden
Laden with fruit
For my hungry soul
I devour your wisdom
It is sweet to my mouth
Honey clings to each word
and sweetens my inner soul
I can listen spellbound
As you expound
The mysteries
Of existence and time
The intricacies of the world above
And the world below
And the world within
Oh…the world within
The best of them all

How you enter it with confidence
My little world
You stride
Confident and bold
Knowing
I worship the ground you walk on
I worship you...body and soul
I stop breathing
With your proximity
Afraid that my breath
Will betray me
forming itself
Into a perfumed message from my heart
confessing my idolatry
So I keep silent
I hold my breath
I look away
Overwhelmed by your beauty

You are the ultimate MAN
The incarnation of
Every woman’s fantasy
Your body a haven
Your arms the walls of safety
You protect
A bastion of strength
A fortress of comfort
A perpetual knight 
To my damsel in distress
You hear my unspoken cries
And come galloping
You whisk me away
To your castled heart
Where you allay
Every fear
With that smile
the drawbridge to your soul
The royal seal
You’ve sealed me with
“All is well
I am here
I am...HERE.
Shhhh.....
Lay in my arms
Put your head on my chest
Rest....rest.”

Oh...that slow easy smile
That rivals the sun
For it cannot compete
With the heat
Your smile births in me
The sun scorches from outside in
You scorch from inside out
I melt
With that sweet smile
Oh what of your touch?
A brush of your hand
And I grow faint
And your smile broadens
Sending flares
For you know
I’m prepared 
For your entry to my inner sanctum

You are the ultimate in creation
Desire’s ultimate desire fulfilled
Passion’s passionate plea
For perfection...
You are
And here is the mystery
You are here with me
In me
In my body soul and mind
You reside
You reign...supreme
Never to be dethroned
But to be adored
And my muted celebration of praise
Is heard only by the stars
But you will see its sparkle 
Here in my eyes
Tonight
When our two worlds
Collide
Flaming into paradise

Mama Bear Date: 8/16/2014 4:50:00 PM How do you know that he is a fantasy? He may be right beside you and you have not seen his true self. You write with such passion that this man will find you. I know of such a man but he does not know he is like that. We will wait and see if he can emerge for real. Love what you portray and hope he finds you and makes you supremely happy Hugs and more hugs my dear Edith mamabear Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/16/2014 5:11:00 PM :) Mama Bear...I have no right to expect when I, myself, am less than idea...so much less. This is a flight of fancy. There can be no one to fit this bill. It's a tall order....I just enjoyed being sixteen again....I'm a hopeless idealist and romantic. Life has knocked me around some, but I'm still here. Thanks for your visits. HUGS!!!!

Debbie Guzzi Date: 8/15/2014 5:09:00 PM Great going gal I loved you ramble through being in and falling to love - I don't believe there is such a thing as ultimate truth - truth is cultural, situation, ever-changing for we only assume what we know. Even things proved scientifically today can are usually are disproved in the future. The best you can do is say what is true for yourself at any given moment in time. Truth is subjective, not objective it depends on the point of view. Light & Love Login to Reply

Jslambert Mister Roboto Date: 8/15/2014 11:57:00 AM Thank you for thinking and writing this about ME :) >winK< Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/15/2014 3:42:00 PM Good one, JS! ;) Thanks for passing by....The secret is out.

Dr. Upma A. Sharma Date: 8/15/2014 8:55:00 AM Perfect romantic Eileen ! Absolutely Wiser fantasy, why be a miser ?? Love ur bold writes ! Bravo my friend , splendid work! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/15/2014 3:41:00 PM ;) Dr Upma...yes, why indeed? I don't like to be a miser...When I give I like to lavish. Thanks for the visit. Love it when you pass by.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/15/2014 8:17:00 AM This one makes me think of Solomon's psalms. Pretty amazing write Eillen. I agree with Leslie this would be an impossible role for a mere mortal. Yet if you are going to fantasize why hold back. Exceptional writing! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/15/2014 8:42:00 AM Thanks, Richard. Like you said....there are no limits to fantasy...and I'm determined to live in fantasy world. It helps when dealing with reality. I'm honest enough to know that there is every man's ideal woman. I know I don't fit that bill either. If there were such a man and such a women, poets would have nothing to write about....

Leslie Philibert Date: 8/15/2014 7:31:00 AM Good write..but a role hard to fill for us guys... Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/15/2014 8:41:00 AM Thanks, Leslie. That was just my point...I'm in love with a dream, for he does not exist. Still....romance will never leave me, so...I can dream.
