Whenever You Come

sometimes when you come and i'm hardly aware of your presence a warmth that spreads envelopes me a well being in my heart tranquility transcending little by little gentle caresses bring an awakening and i know it's you i succumb to your ministrations feeling the changes you bring quiet till you've had you fill i lie still feeling your movement inside content in the knowledge i will bear fruit other times you shake me a forceful wind you bend and move me and sway how you play me want to slay me i'm helpless in your grip you rampage and rage manifesting your power you make sure i'm aware you're here there your everywhere you claim as i quiver all other thoughts cease as i wait for release when your done fulfilling your need and i am left alone alone to reel, to relive, to reveal however you come, inspiration you leave me...undone naked in heightened state of awareness that only is subdued when i've fully released all that's left of you my life peaks and thrills with your every visit be it frenzied or calm at dusk or at dawn whenever u come i live i live Eileen Manassian

oohh i thought the poem was about one thing, and then as it unfolded i realised it was something else! i do like these sort of dual meaning writes, and i also enjoy personification in a poem...isn't it great when these moments of inspiration come? it's how i've always written - bursts of creativity, then nothing in between...thanks for visiting and commenting; i was nervy about that poem! it draws on personal experience, but i also had in mind how a person can feel 'hunted' on social media

This is excellent, Eileen. Initially you lead the reader astray, till towards the end one catches on to the superbly applied personification. I'm so pleased to see you on great terms with inspiration!! You and poetry were made for each other:) Hugs // paul

What a great way to start the day Eileen! Those of us who feel the passion of inspiration are powerless to her/his touch. You have expressed it eloquently. Hugs Rick.

Oh Wow, an amazing, passionate write, Eileen! I love the personification...and yes, I'm blushing. (BTW, I'm reading this one to my husband. I'm sure he'll love it!)

Dear, inspiration moves me. It is sometimes something gradual that you mull for a while. Other times, you can't wait to let it all pour out of your soul. Both ways...it's life altering. Yes, there was a sensual element to this. Hence, your blushing! ;) Analogies are the thing in poetry, are they not! :) Hugs
