Best Arms Poems

Come to me my child
Rest your head in my lap
My hand strokes your wild curls
Feeling the dampness on your neck
Lamplight caresses your flushed cheeks
Shadows waltzing on the walls

You gaze at me with pools of wisdom
Infinite eyes that have lived lifetimes
Speaking silent words 
You gift me...

Aloft, the gem was mounted in black velvet skies
A refulgent pearl, surrounded by glistening stars
Cradled in the arms of midnight, it hung as a prize,
as exquisite as a painting, credited as one of Renoir's

Framed by arching branches of a leafless oak,
a sultry mist bowed before...

My eyes cry for
fuschia glimmer on 
indigo waves again,
but all I see are 
haunting hues
of black sequin
glittered epitaphs;
reflections of hollow 
clouds enveloping cold air;
building tension 
within my heavy heart. 

I am surfing alone, 
watching the life 
of iron-grey cotton bows
swerve in 
cashmere cadence, 
whilst wiping...

Blessings are real
Blessings are true
Blessings are sent from God to you

Early in the mornings 
In late afternoons
Blessings despite the gloom and doom

Blessings are free
Blessings will be
Blessings are the fruits of your energy

What you put in
Will multiply out
Blessings are the good works I’m talking ‘bout

Blessings to...

Sensuous allures float in pulchritude of white swan
Upon your lotus pond, arousing visions of romance
As I see you there where pink blossoms dance
And kiss your presence in ambiance of golden dawn.

Nary a cloud foreshadows my blue sky of tomorrow
As primrose emotions evoke blossoms of meadows;
In...

 Somewhere between our song, he is there
like a delicacy on my tongue;
on my fingertips he burns
the silence on my eyelids,
and even the pang that he leaves
is a blaze in itself.
And what is compelling
about the maleness of this star
is how his glance can still reach...

there's nothing more precious between the two
of us just holding you makes it alright when
I hold you I know a miracle is taken place
I could see it on your facial expression so

so child like so sweet the many words we 
share nothing can compare I...

You’re my world, for you are everything to me.
When I awaken, Darling, do you know
how long I sometimes wait that I might see
your eyes come open? How they used to glow
with love for me! But I’ve been noticing
these days and nights that something in your...

Southern breezes serenade the canopy
swaying the branches and tickling the leaves
spilling light drops of splendor embracing me

Liquid comfort consoling a fading breath
again feeling alive securely within her arms 
fighting off a long drought in the face of death

Fleeting the memories danced through the rain
unguarded two...

Loving Mother
  precious baby in her arms
entering the taxi

Loving Mother
  precious baby in her arms
walking to the departure gate

Loving Mother
  precious baby in her arms
boarding the plane, takes a seat

No matter where she may be
  precious baby feels 
'I am in...

“Arms Full of Linnet Wings”

In the garden 
that afternoon 
she planted seeds
in their ripe minds
their eyes looking
up to hers their 
irises dazzling 
in the late afternoon
sunshine wide open
as if waiting hungrily 
for more food 
she dropped words into 
their mouths which 
they swollowed whole
jewels like...

I have several poems up about my Mama, Angel Manassian. Mama died on March 19, 2000 at the age of 74. She battled with MS for most of her life. She had me at 41...a surprise!

Turns out, Mama had MS even before she and dad...

Into Eternity’s Arms

I dream of Heaven . . .
A deep dream beyond—no fear!
A happiness abounds, yes! 
Hold me now tightly,
And give me your love always.
My soul has now come home Lord!	
I see your kind face—
The Angels brought me to you.
Your presence is most divine!
I see...

I held her in my trembling arms for the
   
First time


And 


The unfailing sensation, of embracing 

The cosmos, I felt!

Oh for pity's sake put some clothes on, 
the bracing air will steal your breath..
and I need you to stand and stay strong. 
   
Cold comfort thrills from your chill touch
help me recall why I adore you so...

A chin of the ages rests...
