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:)

Ah, only a true writer (and romantic) would understand the truth of this. Beautiful and mystical as well; quite a combination. Lovely to read =)

Thank you, Jeremy! So good to see you by my friend!

I've been gone for weeks and this amazingness is what greets me! I just adore the sensuality of this, I've read it like a dozen times and THIS is how passion is suppose to be written. Poetry is beautiful, but when you write it, it's jaw-dropping gorgeous.

You always bring such light wherever you go. Thank you, dear friend! :)

[Eric Cox]

Thank you so much, Leslie!

[Just Jayren]

This is absolutely brilliant...
The essence of sheer admiration simply jumps at you, it you do in such an effective way.
You also keep the core of the point you're making alive with each and every stanza.
Great work

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and a book to savor, to read slowly---to gobble each and every word...no skimming in this one...

surely don't want to miss any of the romantic plot of this poem...

really nice analgoy done here.

Hello, jacob! Thanks so much for your comments. Much appreciated!

[Frieda P]

This is such a sweet telling of awareness and familiarity....what a simple sentiment to know someone so deeply, and be totally engrossed by them. Romantic sweep of pages here.

And I read with such abandon
across her pages
my fingers trailing
her soft paper skin…

Love it Craig...
