Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

You Said

You said you wouldn't do it
You'd NEVER break my heart
You said that you would keep it
And not let it fall apart

You said that you would cherish
Hold dear each word I say
You said that you would love me
All through the night and day

You said that I’m a beauty
I'm sure you said..."Divine!"
You said that I’m alluring
In all ways quite sublime

You said I'm super sexy
With power to turn "on"
You said you love my tresses
You said your heart I’d won

You said...you said...you said
I heard...and...I believed
And yet I’m left to wonder 
Why now all alone…I bleed

Eileen Manassian Ghali

This is a rant...You can see it in a broad sense as a rant against men who with words of honey, make women fall for them and then leave.... Oh...Chapter two...REVENGE of the jilted woman! HA HA! "For heaven knoweth not the wrath of a woman scorned!" Xena mode coming ON! Join me, women, will you? ;)

Justin Bordner July 19, 2014 at 6:45 PM Sometimes love makes us bleed alone, so that we can taste love's blood, remembering that Its not gone. I have tasted this sweet torment too. You are ravishing in your rant Eileen...J.A.B. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 11:01 PM Ravishing is one of the words that I love with a passion. Lovely post...I love to rant now and then....I am not usually heard...So, ranting here is liberating.

Paul Callus July 19, 2014 at 3:33 PM No, Eileen, I do not think you are generalizing, not really. But I know of a certain woman who hates men, for the simple reason that when she was young she was jilted by her first love, and never recovered. Looking forward to 'revenge"!! // paul Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 11:00 PM You are so aware of my feelings, Paul...it is an uncanny gift that you have! No...if you read my post script, you will see that I wrote... YOU CAN see this as....Of course, my poem springs out of personal experience, but if I am honest....I know that we women can be as much to blame. Thank you for your visit. My revenge is a little senryu....Hugs

Richard Lamoureux July 19, 2014 at 8:31 AM That is weird I was on a different poem and the comment posted on this one instead. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:33 AM I know...weird things are happening...twilight zone!

Richard Lamoureux July 19, 2014 at 8:29 AM Wow this is powerful, I hope it is a flight of imagination although you have made it feel quite real.

Richard Lamoureux July 19, 2014 at 8:26 AM The reason some are like that is that they are looking for the honey. They present themselves as lovers of women but in the end they have no love in their hearts, not even for themselves. A very affective way to start a conversation. There are certain women who also can fit this description although they may be seeking a different kind of honey that starts with an M. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:29 AM Robert, thank you for your visit. Yes, we tend to generalize and stereotype. I do realize the evil in doing that, but...sometimes it's just good to vent in a poem. I appreciate your visit. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:28 AM Hi, Richard....Thank you for your visit and astute observations. You are always on the money with what you write.

Robert Nehls July 19, 2014 at 5:36 AM You are right, Eileen. Many men will use their honey and charm to lure a woman into their web of seduction. they weave a tapestry of lies hiding their true intentions. hope and trust have vanished from many a woman until they no longer trust any man. It's sad how deceit can changes a person. Very well written.... Robert. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:32 AM Thanks, Tim, for being so sweet. I need to rant today...No place for sweet sonnets and sensuous writes...I'm on a rampage. Thanks for not keeping away. Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:30 AM Robert, thank you for your visit.

Tim Smith July 19, 2014 at 4:01 AM Us men will do it every time :).....You are right Eileen too many use adjectives to butter up a woman but don't really mean what they say.....excellent rant hugs Tim Eileen Manassian July 19, 2014 at 8:40 AM Thanks, Tim, for being so sweet.
