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

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:)

Exquisite Craig. You have penned a 'masterpiece' here my friend. I can't praise this enough and its going straight into my favorites.

And wow, look at all the reads and reviews you've received. Bravo poet!

Wow this was amazing! I love this poem! Going into my library for sure my dear friend! I really love the stanza
I hear her voice
in the pages
wanting to know her
every line
every word
every letter…

My favorite :)

I've never thought of comparing a woman to a book. Great job. :)
On some of your other pieces, I think you overdid it way too much with the descriptions, but I honestly do like this piece.
I think that it's mainly because you don't just describe the words, and the actual book itself.
She has a smell, and a touch.
You captured pure essence :)

It's so nice to have someone you know so well and yet you never get tired of learning the nuances of them.

Love this!

This is simply superb! Intoxicating! The idea of someone being a book to read has been bounced around plenty, but never has it been captured as well as in this very poem. Thank you for sharing such an amazing write!
