Eileen Manassian Poet Epic

Notes About The Poem

The Warrior Princess Speaks

You cannot own my body, heart, or mind
My essence is illusive like the air
So do not try to hold me down; don’t dare!
I’ll break away from all you use to bind

I am embodiment of freedom’s call
The cosmos is not broad enough for me
For I am more than what your eyes can see
My soul is deep; it cannot break your fall

And though my savage heart is warrior bred
I stand before you coy, somewhat demure
But should you try to capture me, be sure
Between your soul and death, I’ll leave a thread

There beats a goddess heart inside my chest
I know my worth, and so I can command
Allegiance to my love and each demand
You need to be on par, to pass the test

You cannot hope this mighty queen to rule
Capitulate your heart, give up your right
You’ll live to see the dawn vanquish the night
Then my desires will burn you up for fuel

You will be mine; on you I’ll gorge and feed
My wants and every craving, I will sate
For passion in my soul could never wait
When I am done, you’ll live to tell the deed!

I am a warrior princess; I’m the one
the stars and moon and sun obey my voice
And yet you linger near me, by your choice
The fight for your submission, I have won!

Eileen Manassian

Laura Breidenthal November 8, 2017 at 4:59 PM "My soul is deep; it cannot break your fall" - such great lines....that one particularly I love. I also really like "Between your soul and death, I’ll leave a thread" - the power of this goddess's soul is intriguing and empowering. The deepest, greatest parts of our souls lies in our ability to love, and in that love we can strengthen and be strengthened! You are a winner, that's for sure. A gorgeous piece! Always, Laura

Richard D Seal November 4, 2017 at 7:13 PM I give in, I surrender, I submit, oh mighty warrior princess, aka my little Desert Orchid, you have a way with words that would make anyone kneel before you. This persona is so you. Take care, Richard Richard Lamoureux November 6, 2017 at 2:37 PM Hi Richard, great to see you back commenting. Do drop by for a visit. Eileen Manassian November 5, 2017 at 12:32 PM See that you do, Mr Richard D Seal, or your punishment will be great. The Warrior Princess has spoken. Hope you are doing well. I'm definitely a feminist who likes to be treated like a Queen. Some say that is an contradiction in term, but I can make it work...if given the power. ;) Thanks for the visit.
