Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

You Silence Me

You buy my silence with a fervent kiss
And hope that I forget what is amiss
You buy my silence with a gentle touch
A touch that I have longed for, oh, so much

You silence me with hungry, pleading eyes
That make my heart forget your promised lies
You silence me in passionate embrace
And rest upon my breast your angel face

You silence me with words I long to hear
A whispered breath of love, “I’m always near”
You silence me with love through fevered night
So that the wrong you’ve done fades from my sight

You silence me, but then you softly leave
And in the silence, I am left to grieve

Eileen Manassian

I do like writing in sonnet form. It has become my favorite form of expression. I appreciate your visit and comment on this piece. Relationships are fraught with problems in today's world, but I believe that those which are worth fighting for, will survive.

Richard Lamoureux September 5, 2015 at 8:46 AM Silence was golden until the last two lines. It appears in the end he was a fool. Eileen Manassian September 5, 2015 at 9:48 AM Richard.... :) What would I do without your constant encouragement. Thank you. I loved this comment. Hugs
