oh to live a life beneath your full potential to know there is so much more you could have done said more that you could have bled to give others life oh, the inner strife mediocrity does not bode well it's a living, burning hell to know there is the sublime yet you're running out of time the years jeer that inner fear that time will not last you'll be part of the past and yet what will live on when you are gone? that inner cosmos of whirling ideas the planetary magnitude of thoughts becoming black holes of disappointment sucking into the void all that you could have become if I could tap inside find the words to make life ex nihilo syndrome overcome there is always something we were born with it the ability to create but for many it lies dormant stagnates and their names are not remembered not I while I breathe I try to bring to life the wonder of wisdom the beneficence of beauty the longevity of love the pleasure of passion the care of compassion the perfection of peace the sweetness of serenity let it be... all these and more are there in my heart, in store this medium is mine poetry...the rhyme set to my heart beat rhythmic reality words to whet the appetite to move to shock to invigorate to satiate to medicate to alleviate to liberate to enlighten to brighten to instill the will to laugh, to love, and to....live while this heart beats while this soul breathes while the mind can yet think the quest goes on to express the wonder that lies within Eileen Manassian

Thanks, dear. Poetry is very dear to me. There's so much that I would love to write about, but sometimes I don't have the time or the words to express myself. You are always a source of encouragement. Hugs, dear. :)

There is so much we could achieve in life, Eileen, yet time is not always on our side, and there are moments when we lack the energy to perform. May your beautiful and passionate poetry give you and your readers an added scope for living. Hugs // paul

You are right, dear. Depression also affects my writing at times. However, when I am in the right frame of mind, there is nothing that gives me more joy or pleasure.

Inspirational poem Eileen that encourages people to fulfil their potential, sad thing is some are too busy looking at others and judging them, to fulfil their own potential.. Well written poem..

Thank you for the visit, SO. The focus should always be inward...on the wonders within and on finding ways of expression. Regards.
