Notes About The Poem

Those Lips, That Smile

Oh, me, that smile
it shines a mile
those lips so sultry sweet
that mane of hair
so rich and slick
disheveled, still a treat!

Your eyes of blue
oh, what a hue
a glacier full of fire
those teeth that flash
a pearly white
a dream wrapped in desire

Your voice....the silk
the velvet plush
of luxury divine
the way it trembles 
on each note
what it does, I can't define

the way you move
the way you shake
the way the rhythm flows
I move, I groove 
my body melts
a rush that glows and glows

My answer'd be
to question asked
"Tell me dear,
are you lonesome tonight?"
"No, I am not
You're not forgot
These thoughts still bring delight."

Eileen Manassian!

Reading you today reminds me of how difficult it is to read everyone and everything rewarding; so little time, so much talent. I try and will continue to try discovering and commenting on all the talent to be found on PS. This is a wonderful write, I love the flow, the rhyme, the content and MUST read more, my emotions and joy level require it! CayCay

Ahhh and even the men loved him! Great showman and singer (I loved the voice). We (especially my sister) knew most of his songs by heart. No, dear, it's not fair that anyone should suffer the ordeal of lonesome nights! Hugs // paul

I'd like to think that Elvis is blowing you a kiss form the great beyond, for you're surely one of his biggest fans. Well written. Emile.

Is there a contest going on this? I'm not aware of it. Someone send me a youtube link to one of his songs, and I was reminded how much I like him....and this was the result. I don't know of any contest. Please enlighten me, dear. Thanks

Yes, he did live a troubled life. Fame can do that to anyone, I guess. He has recorded gospel music...which has his signature touch. Thanks for the visit, dear.
