Eileen Manassian Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

Sexy

She asked for a pic
I went through the rules
No this and that
Bust and above
My best features
Only that
No hips and no arms
those aren't my charms
I went through the drill
My students knew it well
She came and whispered in my ear,
"Teacher, I love your figure
You're SO sexy."

I burst out laughing 
Was this a joke?
No, she was dead serious
She loved how I moved
She loved how I danced
"Back home...
They'd love a woman like you
Your fullness is proportionate and sexy."

It seems a silly thing
But I did pose for the pic
I flicked back my hair
Had a smile on my face...
No, I'm not who I was...
But I'll get there somehow
I have to enjoy the here and now

A simple compliment
I'd heard like it before
from both genders...
Hard to accept
When you feel bad about yourself
But I never tire of hearing it
Beautiful and sexy...
Me?
It's all in the attitude
In the way that you move
in your smile and your eyes
Even with thunder thighs
A move and a shake
Will keep them awake
BUT....
I'm going to gain back my former glory
and watch out world....

That compliment is about to turn REAL!

Eileen

Passion of the Christ was a wonderful movie, but it was difficult to watch. He has given us so much. Will be by to post soon. Sending you hugs. May God bless you abundantly in the coming year.

Justin Bordner December 27, 2014 at 8:51 PM Your story is your glory, your beauty a maturity of heartbeat plenty sexy...you command passion with the movement of your desire with the curves of your experience, a body that can make senses surge with healing sensation. Attitude is the apex of sex, and soul appeal, and you have the attitude of Aphrodite. Your confidence is Hot! J.A.B. Eileen Manassian December 28, 2014 at 2:47 AM Justin...I'm under no delusion about my age or weight. :( Your greatest gift to me has been your ability to make me feel young and beautiful. For that...I'll always be grateful to you. The pic I have as my avatar was taken two weeks ago. The one I have on my blog is the most recent one. :) To have someone as handsome as you see me as beautiful...well, that makes me soar! :) SO...thanks again for being gracious. Wishing you all the best in the New Year, my dear.

Jan Allison December 27, 2014 at 8:16 PM You are a stunner Eileen in your peotry and in your pictures - embrace your curves my friend many women would love to be as beautiful as you! Hugs jan xxx Eileen Manassian December 28, 2014 at 2:43 AM Jan....Jan, wish I could give you a hug. You don't know how I suffer...There are times I just don't want to leave the house. :( Then when I look good and someone compliments me like that....I feel so good about myself. I know I should not be dependent on that, but....it does feel good when I'm dolled up and I get told nice things. Thank you for your encouragement. This is a painful issue for me. Hugs

Bl Devnath December 27, 2014 at 6:17 PM Simply you are beautiful indeed worded nicely. Loved always, my lovely friend,bl Eileen Manassian December 28, 2014 at 2:40 AM Oh...thank you so much, BL. I'm touched by your lovely post. Hope all is well, my friend.

Mama Bear December 27, 2014 at 5:25 PM You my dear should have the confidence to know that you are sexy no matter what the weight. We are who we are inside and not outside. Be thankful you are you and enjoy just being a woman. We've got it made!!! Men are your slave and you know it. Cool write. Hugs Edith Eileen Manassian December 28, 2014 at 2:35 AM Men are my slaves?! Oh, Mama Bear....if you were here...I'd give you the biggest sweetest bear hug ever. Love you for saying that. :) Yes, I need to concentrate more on the important things. I was always a little superficial that way. Beauty is important to me....It shouldn't be, but it is...As I grow older, I realize I can't hold on to youth or shape...it hurts, but I try to be positive. Thanks for the support. Hugs

Tim Smith December 27, 2014 at 5:09 PM First thing I am attracted to is a smile then I go straight to the eyes....that's where the real beauty is at...hope you can achieve all your goals...hugs Tim Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 5:12 PM Caramelized eyes are the most attractive. ;) Yes...I hope so. My daughter will help. My anti depressants and my underactive thyroid haven't helped! ;( The tiredness has been hard to overcome, but...I'm on meds, and I hope that the New Year will see a new me. I will NEVER be thin....but....I just want to be...SEXY...er! HA HA! Oh dear....It's good to laugh. Thanks for the visit.

Paul Callus December 27, 2014 at 4:51 PM Well done, Eileen. Don't go by mirrors...rely on what a man's face says! (or a woman's!). In pictures you look great...bet even better in real life! hugs // paul Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 4:58 PM Oh Paul...aren't you sweet! :) Did you see the ones of me in the purple dress? ;) If you've seen those...then you know...I'm a chunky woman. I live vicariously through my daughter. I still know how to dance and move....That helps! Oh...if only I'd belly dance half an hour every day....You know why it's good to be a fat belly dancer though? You shake it once...and it keeps jiggling! ;) Ok...I'll stop now. Hugs

Charmaine Chircop December 27, 2014 at 4:47 PM Yes beauty is not about being like a model on a french catwalk.Beauty comes in many shapea and sizes...I usually find bwauty of men in their eyes,smile,humor and mostly in their heart.It doesnt make a difference if he is xhubby or thin,bald or full of hair,rich or poor...Yes sweet Eileen ..any man ans wiman who believes He she is beautiful..They truelly are..as so are you..Lovely message dear. Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 4:54 PM Beauty is that inner glow...though. THAT we can't forget. I've seen very beautiful women with no....sparkle. I've seen average looking women who are just radiant. Men as well....Size is a big issue. I like curves...and I like men with some meat on their bones. Oh well....To each his own. Hugs Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 4:53 PM Hello, sweetie. Glad you stopped by for a visit. I know all about using the phone in the dark. I'm on my lap top now though. Everyone is asleep and I'm about to turn in. I've been busy with visitors this past week. The rush of invitations and Christmas. I finally have some time to myself. Yes...you are right. I'm still very much a visual person and beauty moves me. I even point out pretty women to my husband. Crazy...I know...but beauty is to be admired. Charmaine Chircop December 27, 2014 at 4:48 PM sorry for typos ..usin s.phone and in the dark B-)
