SHE IS A BOOK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She is a breathing book

each night I touch her pages

delicately turn to find

her heart in letters

written by her hand…

 

Scent of vanilla

soft and sensuous

unveiling another thought

another smiling memory

another intimate piece of her…

 

And I read with such abandon

across her pages

my fingers trailing

her soft paper skin…

 

In her sighs

she speaks of

stories and sonnets

history and fantasy

blue skies and silvery silks…

 

I hear her voice

in the pages

wanting to know her

every line

every word

every letter…

 

Now I take her into me

share my book with her

until we know

can read each glance

each whisper

each touch…

 

She is a book

and I love to read her pages…

"Now I take her into me
share my book with her
until we know
can read each glance
each whisper
each touch…"

Poetical Prowess!!! This was fantastic! From the subtle flow to the image at the beginning to set the mood of the piece....you crafted an intelligently phrased piece. The type so delicately thought of that i cannot help but be enthralled in the book (pun intended) :)

This is great work! A nice start to my day:)

Simply beautiful, a poem so filled with love and joy. She seems a rare and amazing book for sure, from cover to cover nothing could be more perfect. Maybe this is where the phrase, "Curl up with a good book" came from? Wondrously gorgeous

I so deeply appreciate your words. And yes, she is a very rare and amazing book. One day perhaps I can curl up with her. A very happy weekend to you, dear poet. :)

This is romanticism at its best. I don't know why, but I felt a bittersweet ache in my heart after reading this. Something about the words ... something about the way you wrote them ... something about this whole piece ...

[An owl on the moon]

Your words and flowing thoughts are so appreciated, Sally. And you sensed it so well. There is a bittersweet taste to love and beauty, for it reflects so much of us and the empty places that we long to have filled with its presence... page by page.

Usually, I am not captivated by love poetry or songs, but this piece just does something that few other love poems on this website do. Creativity not only spreads its wings in this piece, but also soars gracefully through a hypnotizing sky of unbridled emotion, thought, flow and passion. I have read many fantastic poems on this website, and this piece has easily earned a place amongst my absolute favorites of those pieces! I saw the view count when I was reading, and spilled metaphorical coffee on myself lol. I can tell that every one of those views was deserved. Phenomenal performance, my fellow writer! :)

How I so appreciate your lifting words! Thank you! I have a metaphorical paper towel if you need it. Looking forward to reading your soul words. :)

This is the perfect way to express getting to know someone and falling in love with them! The person who you spend the rest of your life with should be the best book you have ever been able to "read", and you should be able to read it without looking! So intimate and beautiful can't help but getting the chills. Love it, one of my new favorites.

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you so much for your kind, uplifting words! May we all find a love like that. :)

[Sharon Maria Moemise]

Great writing skill. Very descriptive in an almost sensual flow. Terrific read!

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you so much, Sharon! A sweet joy to have you by. :)

[daninstockholm]

And I read with such abandon

across her pages

To read this quickly would be a crime to a beautiful muse. Poems like this are meant to be savored like a wine from the finest vintage, the taste rolls across the palate and the whole sensory system succumbs. so beautiful!! Superb writing!

[An owl on the moon]

It's an honor to have you stop by my page. Thank you so very much. :)
