Eileen Manassian Poet Dramatic Monologue

Notes About The Poem

 

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.

This is a repost of a poem I posted in March of 2013. You can find it if you search for it in the search engine of the site.  The interesting thing is....going along with my previous poems, someone once read a poem of mine that was written in this style and posted a comment saying that I write like someone else here on the Soup, as though I were emulating him or trying to impress him. Well, here is a poem from before a time I even knew that person. Well, well...what do you know. It's signature me.

Love and Hugs Edith Eileen Manassian March 22, 2015 at 4:56 AM Thanks, Edith. Sorry for being late in my response. I take pride in my passion and sensuality, despite the fact that it is often not understood or appreciated. I will not change who I am for someone else's understand or vision. Thank you for your vote of confidence. You know I value your words. Hugs

David Meade March 19, 2015 at 9:22 PM You Rock -- when it comes to love!! your poems are strong, tender, wild, vulnerable, honest, caring, forgiving, passionate . . . and so much more -- they are a part of you! Richard said it well below! A signature LO! 7 Eileen Manassian March 20, 2015 at 12:00 AM :) Yes, David. I write from my heart and soul. This is an older piece of mine. I just had to repost it to show that my writing hasn't all of a sudden morphed. True...perhaps I'm developing it more. Thanks for your care, support, and love. Much much appreciated. Sending hugs from LO.

Viv Wigley March 19, 2015 at 1:11 AM Brilliantly constructed and flows so well. Awesome. Mister Viv Eileen Manassian March 20, 2015 at 12:34 AM Thanks ever so much, Viv. This is high praise indeed. Much appreciated.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders March 18, 2015 at 10:11 PM A wonderful poem of passion and love, Eileen! I can't imagine someone being so brazen with such a rude accusation. You, my dear, have nothing to prove!! Eileen Manassian March 22, 2015 at 4:50 AM Rhonda, sorry I'm late with this response. Thank you for your kindness. Of course, the person didn't accuse but hinted....It's all the same in my book. Even if I were trying to impress someone...surely that is my own business. Thank you for the visit. Hugs

Connie Marcum Wong March 18, 2015 at 10:07 PM It is either all out or get out...I hear you Eileen....my daughter has just dealt with the same situation and I can relate. You definitely have your own original flair that is unmistaken. They were probably paying you a compliment as how could they do anything but? Sweet dreams...Connie Eileen Manassian March 22, 2015 at 4:54 AM Connie, thank you for your post. I'm sorry I'm so late in getting back to you. It's been a tough couple of days. I highly doubt they were paying a compliment. There are others who write in this style, but I was not compare to any of them. It's alright. We need to deal with such things. I appreciate your comment and love. Blessings.

Charmaine Chircop March 18, 2015 at 4:15 PM Cont.. Could be the most we care about and He too..To get in such details this person must care too. At least I hope so sweet one. Eileen Manassian March 18, 2015 at 4:55 PM I understand your heart and sentiments, but this is beyond solving. Better this way. If someone thinks ill of you....no matter what...there is no point, Charmaine. I tried to be gracious....while still defending myself. But....I'm not looking for reconciliation. I fight to restore relationships with those whom I trust and whom I know have not brought pain to others. There is no point here. Thanks for your lovely thoughts. Hugs

Charmaine Chircop March 18, 2015 at 4:13 PM Let people say what they want Eileen..And if you really ever write a beautifup poem to impress someone,that someone should be thankful,cuz its not everyday that some one write such beauty for a friend,on the otherhand if its not about him.He should believe that too.Some people like to complicate life Eileen.Whatever I wish that if anyone hurt you unintentionally or intentionally,He finds it in his heart to contact you and you and him start over like family.Usually the person we fight most with
