Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

The Name You've Given Me-Video

It thrills my heart to hear endearing name
its sweetness burns my heart, sets it aflame
Your tenderness and love it does proclaim
the world is rosy red, never the same

I bloom with praise at tender loving word
For in my heart I know love is confirmed
intense my pleasure when this name is heard
in sweetness I indulge, nothing's deferred

So let this name your heart in love embrace
let all the love you feel show on your face
and from your lips free falling, let it trace
my body, soul, and mind with heaven's grace

This name you've given me is mine to keep
It sings to me in wakefulness or sleep

Eileen Manassian

Andrea Dietrich December 19, 2016 at 11:24 PM Eleen, I sure do wish I could do all these things you do with technology .It really helps set a person apart to be able to do these things. I loved hearing your voice reading this delightful sonnet. It's quite rhythmical, Eileen. GREAT job!
