When It Comes To Love

Don’t insult me with mediocrity When it comes to love I’m a woman of passion Of intensity Trilling “I'll set you on fire” Mentality Not a “Sure, why not?” Neutrality Don’t insult me with mediocrity When it comes to love. Don’t appease me When it comes to love I’m a woman of dignity Of sincerity Honest “I can see through you!” Ability Not an “I’m so touched” Complacency Don’t appease me When it comes to love Don’t quiet me When it comes to love I’m a woman of expression Of confession Not a “Everything’s fine” Morality But a “You consume me!” Totality Don’t quiet me When it comes to love. Don’t fool me When it comes to love I’m a woman of discernment Of understanding Not a “I’ll share you” Congeniality But a “You're all mine!” Fatality Don’t fool me When it comes to love. When it comes to love... Your my possession My cognition My "You're the man of my dreams" Confession My "You color my world." Expression My "You make me melt." Obsession When it comes to love That's what you are to me. Eileen Manassian Ghali

Wow, one of your best Eileen - and that's saying something! I loved the stark contrasts between the indifference and the passion. It totally suits you and you expressed yourself amazingly. The bigger words in the middle aren't easy to work with, but it seemed effortless coming from your pen. Extraordinarily written!

Thanks, Kash. I am passionate about many things. I've written a poem entitled Passionate about Life. If you get the chance, maybe you can give it a read. Thanks for stopping by.

Sometimes I'm too passionate, it seems. ;) About the staying young bit, got a bday coming up this month...18th. Going to be 46. Who would have thought! Hugs, my dear.
