Speak My Language

Speak my language A language of love I can understand My heart language Understand my need My desire to be understood Speak my language Speak fluently to my heart Words of Affirmation I thrive on hearing praise Appreciation Verbal validation Of all I do and am Of all I want to be Words of Affirmation Speak to my inner woman And give her fairy wings To fly to you and meet YOUR every need In a language YOU understand Caress me Run your fingers through my hair Let them frolic with every strand Run them over my lips Dip them inside And let my lips close over them Let my tongue tease Run your fingers down the length of my arms Give the fullness a gentle squeeze Let your lips travel down my neck On their pilgrimage To the sacred valley Between my breasts Where they will nestle for a while Before they travel Up the soft snow white ascent Longing to explore The beautifully colored terrain Of the glorious twin peaks Gently, with butterfly wings touch my waist Feel the earthquake motions they instigate Let your hands speak A language my body understands The language of Physical Touch The one I comprehend the most A language that will not be lost In translation to my heart Words of Affirmation Physical Touch My love languages That fill to overflowing My desire to be loved, wanted Acts of Service I will gladly perform Speaking now in turn to you What your heart translates As love from your woman I'll show my respect and care In tangible ways A bed freshly made Warm food to tempt your appetite As I will later tempt your body A massage to sooth away The cares of your day Quality Time Your heart understands When I give you my full attention Putting all else aside As my eyes focus on yours And the world stands still I free my mind to listen to the words Spoken and unspoken That you convey to me And having heard all I arrange my time So that your heart can see You are a top priority To me And the final language Is a shared one, my love Giving Gifts... A poem tucked in your briefcase A flower for me Heart shaped earrings My favorite perfume A necktie A luscious mango When my heart craves succulence Decadent chocolate Made ever sweeter For it comes melting to your lips Spread on the tips of my breasts For your mouth to savor Satisfying your sweet tooth tantrums Speak my language Hear with your body and soul As I eloquently “speak” to you Love understood, lived, celebrated Yes, my love Speak to me In a language I can understand Eileen Manassian Ghali

You write of one of the most powerful languages in the world. I have no doubt you are quite fluent in this language.

Love is not just a feeling...it is also a principle. Sometimes it has to be a decision. Thanks for stopping by and the visiting, Cecilia. Hugs

Hi, Liam........So sweet of you to visit!!! :) what? No new poem for today? I did check. Hope you come up with a new one soon! Hugs

It's sad that more men all over the world do not understand the basic concept that this poem is discussing. this is wonderful, Eileen. but men are from Mars and it is difficult to find one that can understand those of us from Venus.

Yes, Andrea. That is the truth! I understand that's a powerful book. I haven't read that one, but this book...Love's 5 Languages by Gary Chapman is very powerful. Try getting a man to even READ a book on marital issues. I have several....Making Love Last Forever, Sex Begins in the Kitchen, He Wins, She wins...and hubby won't read a single one. :( I guess up there in Mars reading doesn't DO it for anyone! HA HA! Lovely visit. I got a bit carried away with this one. Silly me!

I totally relate to your language. What a trancendent piece of writing. You have a way of speaking into our minds and souls. A definate favorite Eileen. Stunning!

Richard. Thank you for that adjective. You have just spoken in one of the two languages that reach me...WORDS OF AFFIRMATION! :) Thanks ever so much! Glad you liked it. Always good to have clarity in knowing how best to reach someone.

"Decadent chocolate", "breasts"...I didn't know chocolate would go good with chicken. ;-) Oh, you mean the OTHER breasts, mm'kay! Passion, food, love...a tremendous combo of a lover's language...especially when you add a rolling of the "R's". I digress. =D

I know that they have a LOVE POEMS link a well, and the poems here that get ticked with the love category get siphoned into that. I don't know what to make of this, Cyndi! :( Thanks for making me aware off it. Thanks also for the love visit and post here! :) Catch you later.

Tell your beloved: "Your language would I perfectly speak when your boiling blood my empty veins would fill!" Yes, Eileen, you are so right people have to speak each-other's language for understanding to come and love to flourish! Wonderful poem, a 7!

Gary Chapman is the marriage counselor behind the concept of love languages which are quality time, physical touch, acts of service, giving gifts, and words of affirmation. We often fail to FEEL loved because what is conveyed to us is not in a language that we understand. Here is a link if you would like to find out more about this amazing concept. You will not regret buying the book for couples and for parents. http://marriage.about.com/cs/communicationkeys/a/lovelanguage.htm I am a believer.
