Best Sweeter Poems
a rose is a rose
though bent by the spiteful wind
some petals are lost
its fragrance has not lessened
beauty changes but remains
its essence the same
yet overlooked, you pass by
touching another
perfection your objective
you forget time's truthfulness
beauty is fleeting
roses were not meant to last
yet this bleeding rose
pummeled and bent, almost crushed
offers you the sweeter scent
Eileen Manassian
He pops the cork from vintage vine,
then bubbles dance in scarlet wine
I look his way, his eyes find mine
The stars align, the stars align!
He pours the glass, and as it tips
one drop remains there, as I sip
I leave for him upon my lips
My heartbeat skips, my heartbeat skips!
The wine my lips had not yet met
becomes a bliss, I'll not forget
A kiss that tastes of sweet claret
Not one regret, not one regret

When Love's in my bed~Heaven is in my head~Dreams are Sweeter with HUGS
Cuando el amor esta en mi cama
El cielo esta en mi alma
Suenos son mas dulces con abrazos
(1.)
Beauty There, Sweeter Than Morn's Softest Calls
Lad, Heaven's bounty is treasure weighted
Its only entrance, gold and pearl gated
Angels guarding all that paradise gifts
Light, Love, Truth, Faith that so deeply uplifts.
Yes lad, all there is dearest and divine
Love so pure, gifted from Trinity's vine
Music that heart and soul forever hears
Voices singing that brings forth happy tears.
Believe lad, your faith is your salvation
Do not embrace this world's imitation
Walk a straight path, fear not your earthen death
His sacrifice, tells Heaven give new breath.
Know this my lad, from there lost soul was saved
From world's Dark that is wickedly depraved
Eternity and peace within its halls
Beauty there, sweeter than morn's softest calls.

Pray A Well Lit Path Be Your Choice
Pray a well lit path be your choice
Let Dawn sings in its brightest voice
Its rays cast away black of night
Allowing Truth to shine in Light
Basking in that eternal glow
Both blind heart and soul shall then grow.
Pray a blessing soon comes your way
As dark night yields to break of day
Wherein Dawn's glow your heart delights
Hope its power reveals to sight
Songs of better days echo loud
We learn to stand up bold and proud.
Pray your sorrows are washed away
Life renewed destroys the grey
Peace and new cheer are again found
In scourging dark we are not bound
Laughter across the land is heard
And pray, we thank God, is the word.
Pray a well lit path be your choice
Let Dawn sings in its brightest voice
Its rays cast away black of night
Allowing Truth to shine in Light
Basking in that eternal glow
Both blind heart and soul shall then grow.

Rhyme, ( New Rays Of Hope, Amidst This Doom And Gloom )
Note- On the brighter side of life.
Little one,
Why do you cry?
It's time to sleep
And you should try.
There is no need
To be afraid.
It's only monsters
YOU have made.
No creature lives
Beneath your bed,
With shining teeth
And horns on head.
The closet only
Holds your cloths and
The door will stay
Completely closed.
There's no such thing
As Booger Bear
Or Big Bad Wolf
That live in there.
Together we
Can beat this fear.
Close your eyes
And I'll stay near.
Just think about
The better things,
Like Oreos
Or diamond rings.
Of high heel shoes
And princess crowns.
Polished nails
And silken gowns.
Of puppy dogs
And tiny kittens,
None of which have
Lost their mittens.
Of powdered sugar
Donut holes
Leaving sweetness
On your nose.
Now, get some sleep.
Just close your eyes,,,
What? We all need
To sleep,,,that's why!
You don't have to shut the door
And hide your shame and fears
And cover your weaknesses and pain
You can live it open
Welcome the conversation
Treat the wounds and free yourself of hurt
So you can walk free and not run away
So you can sing in the light and not cry in the dark
Sex is a quick fix, sex is an attractive paraffin
It's okay to be different, different is beautiful
It's even more okay to be an introvert
Introvert is so deep and full of wit
You wish to be like her because everybody loves her
You wish to sing and act like her
You wish and wish to be exactly like her
Entertaining, fun and funny
But you have you and your poetry
And with that you have a golden truth
That's you, not just a physical lure
Even she wishes she was like you
So quiet, so shy, so mysterious, so smart...
SWEETER THAN SUGAR
Sorrows
that only love
can heal
Healing
bridge broken hearts
to live
Live free
on blows of joys
and see
Seeing
carefree children
on play
Playful
they run around
all day
Each day
like champagne taste
Delight!
Lighting
the dark, dark world
to grow!
Growing
to bear some fruits
so sweet...
Sweeter
than the sugar
I love.
Lovely,
I long to dream
success
Succeed
despite all odds
to share
Sharing
true love and care
World peace!

Fermentation around us, awakens my senses,
I can feel a warm blush radiate down to my toes
I know your intentions, and we kiss in the moment, twilight above turns to burgundy red.
You picked me a bouquet of the sweet supple bounty
while, letting me sample a brush of the sun
I'm tasting the bliss from the warm afternoon
as the lush of the juice dribbles onto my chin
Drinking the essence, from deep down within me
You have tasted my lips with a wine flavored tongue
The sky has turned purple, with rose colored dimples
And sun dips so slowly, deep into the hills
The mood is like swimming, and my poor head is spinning
And I'm drowning quite dizzily, and drunk from the spell

1. Not thrown out of the show business
every year’s good and never less
my age placed in his mind’s steerage
I’m down to prove he won’t manage
it is no different loving him
I'm older but with the same vim.
Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under soothes
I am grown, a feminine roué
not in charge he’s quite the Princeling
first time to be out of his niche
same game but in a bigger pitch.
2. I am an atmosphere of ease
together can lay and eat cheese
we are a perfect assortment
I’m his entire allotment
my wear can’t be an allergy
the mind still has same energy
naughtiness I can also brew
staying so drunk under fun’s screw.
Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under soothes
I am grown, a feminine roué
not in charge he’s quite the Princeling
first time to be out of his niche
same game but in a bigger pitch.
3. None stays acidly expectant
my years of play, a lubricant
I swim in it with him, my drake
denied has been conflicts’ outbreak
romance rhythmed by a septet
but just two are the Architect
both young, both old, difference’s weaver
like my far age, ‘best’ feels deeper.
Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under soothes
I am grown, a feminine roué
not in charge he’s quite the Princeling
first time to be out of his niche
same game but in a bigger pitch.
4. Scared of the city’s outcry
Now upgraded after our try
my kisses and massage, his lunch
signals of softness in a bunch
to his fun, never came down draught
in his love, each other we taught
I'm a mum, lover and teacher
he's a thirty-year-younger Sir.
Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under soothes
I am grown, a feminine roué
not in charge he’s quite the Princeling
first time to be out of his niche
same game but in a bigger pitch.
Cacao kisses caress the cheek
cocoa nails, polished feet
Chocolate cake, hot and rich
Fudge syrup, sloppy kiss
Truffle lotion oh so edible
chocolate makes everything sweeter
Touching Sweeter Dreams, Memories To Hold,
Sharon's Acrostic
Timeless love, romancing dreams, sweet and great
On soft dream-clouds, dancing in love's tango
Under Autumn moons, I slow waltz with you
Cases of pictures, in our home's attic
Having you with me, to always cherish
6-27, 2017

(Touch Me With Words), Contest
1. Our intentions stay straight
as this well carved acquaintance
gives a lovely and presentable silhouette
agreed terms and policy not rabbit warren
as debit is debit and credit is credit.
But with undefined boundaries
our hearts in a rustproof
to avoid the pain of the past.
Chorus
The tea is cold but tastes sweeter
the cloth is worn but smells fresher
sweet flavour turn pungent is now scentier
she’s never going back, this I need to accept.
2. A sandy platform
where memories and reality
have a monkey’s wedding.
Our maturity
has created such warmth already scripted
the strict rules are puckered
by pinching hormones highly overstaffed
as life gradually becomes a trap
of a whammy rotating disc for us.
Chorus
The tea is cold but tastes sweeter
the cloth is worn but smells fresher
sweet flavour turn pungent is now scentier
she’s never going back, this I need to accept.
3. Compliments flood in packages of a bun
from a volunteer troubadour to my babe
both in sophisticated denial.
Her partial availability draws
colourful froth into her season
then every event around her
becomes very sour and less of a tony.
Chorus
The tea is cold but tastes sweeter
the cloth is worn but smells fresher
sweet flavour turn pungent is now scentier
she’s never going back, this I need to accept.
4. Her life sploshes through time with ease
mine is limited to the observance of our contract
no one will condescend the other to move on earlier
even though
there is still a strong pudenda-connection between us.
I have to accept that the romance
has long gone into nullity.
Chorus
The tea is cold but tastes sweeter
the cloth is worn but smells fresher
sweet flavour turn pungent is now scentier
she’s never going back, this I need to accept.
Your growing sweeter
each day my little
friend of mine.
Looking into your
dark eyes, seeing
love you give away.
Soft kisses you
wet my face with
such a pleasure.
Loving you my
sweet dog,
enjoying every moment.
Smiles you bring
our way, each
loving day.

You nourish me
with your ever filling tunnel
full of your sweet companionship
My innocence, filled with your mar
I don't know who I am
and if this is acting, I deserve an Oscar
this experience simply beats reality.
You shine on me
much more than the biggest star.
I'm always dizzy with your laughter
filled with Ether.
Kissing all through your delicate skin;
trust me when I say
nothing on Earth is sweeter.
I'll guide you jealously in me within
even if I turn out to be a monster.
Grinding all obstacles with my mortar
to ensure I live with you forever
my precious Heart's super star.
YOU ARE SOMETHING SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
SOMETHING THAT IS FULL OF FIRE WITH PASSION AND DESIRE I CANNOT SEE MYSELF WITH NO ONE ESLE ALL I HAVE DONE IS THINK OF YOU.
WHEN I AM WITH YOU I FEEL AS IF I AM ON CLOUD NINE LOOKING AT SOMETHING SO DIVINE.
A BEAUTY IN THE MAKING YOU ARE A WORK OF ART AND VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART.
WHEN I SEE YOU I GET BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH I GET A GLOW ON MY FACE.
AS IF YOU WERE MY FIRST CRUSH SOMETHIG THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
I GET WEAK IN THE KNEES FOR YOU I START TO SHAKE FEARING THAT MY HEART WILL BREAK.
AS I HAVE BEEN WOUNDED BY THE THORNS OF HEARTACHE FEARING THAT I WILL BE HURT AND DISAPPOINTED BY HIM ONCE AGAIN.
WITH OVERNIGHT CRYING AND HEARTACHE BUT WHEN I SEE YOU IT ALL GOES AWAY.
