Eileen Manassian Poet Free verse

We Are Lovers

Throughout history, we are lovers
Throughout history, we are soul mates
 
We are Romeo and Juliet
We are Anthony and Cleopatra
We are Lancelot and Guinevere
We are Tristan and Isolde
Scarlett O' Hara and Rhett
Elizabeth Barrett and Robert
Pocahontas and John
Jayne Eyre and Rochester...
 
Blended inside one another
Melted inside one another
 
Two hearts are one
Two souls are one
Throughout the ages
Throughout eternity
 
Forever was
Forever shall be...

You and I
The sweetest symphony,
and if there were to be
another life
than the one that we now live,
I know your soul would find mine
We would be 
the next world renowned lovers,
our names immortalized 
in the books that will be written,
for a love like ours,
this passion we share,
defies the boundaries of time
It's a living entity
infused with heaven's light
and its longevity

You and I
We lived; we live; we will live,
for we are the embodiment of love
We ARE love
Personified
You and I
Love's sweetest refrain
Yesterday, now, and forever

YOU and I

Paul Callus June 27, 2014 at 4:12 PM Most of History has been built on love ( and hate, jealousy); but we look to love to make the world go round. Lovely collaboration where I feel that the second part started at "You and I". // paul Eileen Manassian June 30, 2014 at 3:13 AM Yes, Paul...You are so astute. The you and I was where I came in. :) Tim really should have entered this on his own because his bit is awesome. Anyway...thanks for this lovely post. Paul Callus June 29, 2014 at 5:40 PM Congratulations on your worthy win!

Justin Bordner June 26, 2014 at 2:02 AM Pure love magic! The undeniable immortality of love between two...mmmm...beautiful. J.A.B. Eileen Manassian June 26, 2014 at 2:10 AM Yes, Justin....Life isn't worth living without love. Without love, sadness comes in and eats up the heart. At least through poetry, this kind of love can be glorified. Thanks for the visit. I've missed your insightful posts.

Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 1:13 PM Love manifests itself differently.... Tim captured that well in the first part. I think it went well. Thank you for your visit. Here's to love.

Jan Allison June 25, 2014 at 4:15 AM A glorious write from two awesome poets. good luck in the contest and i loveddddd the mistress poem Eileen! Hugs Jan xxxxx Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 4:19 AM OH! Thanks ever so much, Jan. The Mistress poem is so dear to my heart. It has special meaning for me, and so I guess that is why it came out pretty well. Thank you for your kind words. Tim is a very talent poet, and a very wonderful man. I'm glad our banter lead us to this. Hugs

Tim Ryerson June 25, 2014 at 4:07 AM Love it!! Thanks dear lady... Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 4:44 AM Tim, thank YOU! I readily admit...your part is the sweeter bit...I'm glad you took my message as an offer to collab or this would never have been born, and I'm so glad it has seen the light....irrespective of contest rules. Hugs Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 4:10 AM Hey, you! What a privilege to work on this with you! :) I made some changes. I don't know, Tim. It's over 20 lines...and from the other two poems I've read, the authors are writing about actual experiences. Hmmmmm....I don't believe in past lives, but...this sure was fun. ;) You ROCK, my dear. I'm honored! Hugs

Tim Smith June 25, 2014 at 3:53 AM This is tremendous... You two rocked it....loved that you are soul mates....Tim Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 4:18 AM I have only collabed with a very few people, Richard L, Craig C, Honestly JT, and Drake E. I have been asked by someone else, and I hope to be able to work with him soon. This came as a lovely surprise. I get asked...and I love it when the man takes the lead...My Middle Easter mind set. Tim Ryerson? Well, he's awesome! :) Glad it worked out! It hardly took any effort. It just flowed! Tim Smith June 25, 2014 at 4:02 AM I saw that...it is a nice thing to do... Helps me when I Do it. Eileen Manassian June 25, 2014 at 4:00 AM Tim, this came collab about in a strange way, but I'm glad we had the chance to work on it. Tim is a dear friend, and I love teasing him. We loved working on this together as a result of a bit of banter on my poem, Mistress May I. If you read that, you will know what sparked this. Thank you for your visit. I don't know if this will do well in the contest as it is a fictitious write and not based on reality as the other poems are.
