The Zenith of My Prime

the zenith of my prime has come and gone and here I sit and wait my setting sun with dreams and wishes longing to come true I won't lie down in death till they are through I've yet to taste the glory of those lips of love divine, I've only taken sips the Warrior Princess, yet remains inside a seething muse that I am forced to hide I've yet to write the world into a rhyme to go on after me, defying time I've yet to travel to enchanted place and live a thousand lives and dance with grace I've yet to swim like mermaid in the sea with not a single thing to cover me I've yet to lie on sands in twilight hue to feel the naked rush of feelings new I've yet to sing my song and feel the praise of hands that lift me high and lights that daze I've yet to gaze upon what eyes adore my gypsy heart has treasure still in store And so, this pain that dwells in me yet screams: "You must not die until you've lived your dreams. Uncover dreams: bring every one to light Oh, live and love and blaze before the night Eileen Manassian

wow, this is a very good one, with a lot of passion for life and its dreams. Great title for this kind of poem. It had a sonnet feel to it though it was not a sonnet!

There's a lot of passion in that three letter word: YET. Let that inner Eileen out, my friend ... she can't be caged forever. Last I checked out your page it seemed as though you were on a writer's block ... but now I see you got a lot of new poems up. I've got some reading to catch up on :)
