Eileen Manassian Poet Couplet

Unsayable

Unsayable my love for you, I have to hold it in
Were I to say the words out loud, then that would be a sin

You belong to another, and you never can be mine
Even though you are so perfect and most certainly divine

Unsayable the thoughts I think, unsayable the dreams
Where you and I are well immersed in passion's flowing streams

Unsayable it will remain, though in my mind we speak
I'll bear this love inside my heart until I'm old and weak.

And then if you are still around, and if you're finally free
Unsayable will find a voice and speak for you and me.

Inspired by Nette's Contest Theme

Pat Adams January 29, 2018 at 5:30 PM Very nice. Very well put. I once had an affair a long time ago. Her daddy had money and liked her husband, even though her husband beat her black and blue. She chose the fear of being dropped by her dad over being with me. I was crushed but now years later I'm with the love of my life!........life goes on. Wonderful pen! Another FAV for me........pat Eileen Manassian January 29, 2018 at 9:50 PM Thanks for the visit. So sorry that you had your heart broken, but happy that you have found true love. Sometimes people stay in abusive relationships because it's just it's just easier than making a life change...even though it would be for their good.

Abosede Ogundare January 28, 2018 at 3:12 PM This is beautiful!

Poet Tacito January 25, 2018 at 12:49 PM Speechless. Telling love how it can be, if only...if only.

FJ Thomas December 14, 2017 at 10:54 AM Oh my how beautiful; unsayably even ;) Eileen Manassian December 14, 2017 at 11:38 AM Yes, quite unsayable, as the prompt indicated. I'm glad you liked it.

Richard Lamoureux December 10, 2017 at 10:14 AM Thanks for the visit Eileen. Blessings to you on this Sunday and for the upcoming week. Hugs Rick. Eileen Manassian December 14, 2017 at 11:38 AM Thank you, dear. I appreciate it. I'm going to miss my brother. I would have sent you a little something, but I'm unable to get to his place before he leaves. I hope he gets to pass by. Hugs

Winged Warrior December 10, 2017 at 4:56 AM Now that you said it and the cat is out of the bag...excellent write my friend...too bad you didn't enter it...I'll give you a win anyway lol...god bless and happy holidays Eileen...^WW^

Richard Lamoureux December 7, 2017 at 8:37 AM Hi Eileen, I hope you are having a great day.

Paul Callus December 5, 2017 at 5:00 PM This is understandable, Eileen. Some words are best left unsaid, even though they are dying to be set free! I heard of 2 people who lived for many years in such a sad situation...finally they got married after their respective spouses died. ~ Hugs // paul

Richard Lamoureux November 27, 2017 at 7:03 PM This is well expressed Eileen. It is dangerous for people to express these types of feelings. Many relationship have been dashed on Rock of passion. Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:28 PM Yes, dear Richard. It was inspired by Nette's prompt. I didn't join the contest because I didn't read the instructions in time. It has to be free verse. Well, at least I got a poem out of it.

Jerry T Curtis November 25, 2017 at 6:39 AM Great job and heart rendering Eileen Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:28 PM Thank you, Jerry. A love buried is a burning fire.

CayCay Godwin November 23, 2017 at 11:38 PM Great ending! I relate to this and I love how you spelled it out and delivered it. (I've been 7 months gone and missed reading you.) Hugs ... CayCay Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:30 PM Thanks, sweet CayCay. I'm SO glad that you are back. Where have you been hiding, dear. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you are back home. Hugs

Arthur Vaso November 23, 2017 at 9:04 PM I love the flow and rhyme of this poem, yes, is difficult when our heart longs for another! :) Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:31 PM Yes, dear. I'm glad you liked this piece. It was inspired by Nette's prompt. Hugs

Susan Ashley November 23, 2017 at 8:29 PM Beautifully expressed bittersweet sentiments Eileen. A tender, sad and heartfelt write of unrequited love.. well done. Good luck in the contest! Eileen Manassian November 28, 2017 at 3:32 PM Thank you, dear. I didn't enter the contest. I didn't read the rules in time. That should teach me a lesson! ;) I appreciate the visit.
