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:)

While reading it my heartbeat slowed down...it is sensual on such an amazing non sexual yet erotic and romantic way that this is one of my favourite writes. I absolutely love the passion you wrote this with.

A beautiful poem, I felt I could easily relate to it! The continued personification brings out the true beauty of books and poetry.

Thank you so much, Chasity! Will be by to read your inspirations soon.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS

1. What first attracted me to the piece of writing was the capitalization of each stanza. At first, I was trying so hard to make some words from those letters and then discovered that were not trying to make words :P

2. The opening line enthralled my attention:

"She is a breathing book
each night I touch her pages"

This part is very sensual yet elegant.
Very beautiful, indeed.

It speaks to the physical and psychological state of mind.

The narrator speaks of her beauty:

1. Poetry
2. Romance
3. Voice
4. Scent
5. Sensation

Overall, I really enjoyed the SENSORY details.

Wonderful job!

love,
ria

Enchanting love story here. You are so amazing with your imagery. I am always left breathless and sighing when I read your words. Very beautiful indeed. My son has been soaking up the knowledge from the book Passport Around the World. Craig I know the opinion of a seven year old may not seem like high praise but, he reads it all the time. So well done on that regard too.
