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:)

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...

Thank you so much, Moniba.

One of my favorites by you! "And I read with such abandon across her pages My fingers trailing her paper soft skin" favorite line not only romantic but very delicate, sensual, and I loved getting a visual if the parallels of a book's pages and the skin of a body.

Great job.

[An owl on the moon]

So good to see you by, Meliss@k! Thank you so much!

[MichelleClay]

Incredible! One of my most favourite pieces to date. :)

You are the king of metaphor and imagery in this piece. Yes a woman is a book...her story waiting to be read. She will take you on a journey into the depths of her soul. Better hold on tight..sometimes its a bumpy ride. Lol... brilliant writing!!

[Charlène Boutin]

These words are so powerful, yet gentle and sensual all at the same time. The beauty of one's mind, wrapped into a book... Gorgeous metaphor, built impeccably.

[An owl on the moon]

Dearest friend! Thank you for sharing your sweet time here. You have been my friend for years, and that means so much. Your book is exquisite to me. :)

[Charlène Boutin]

Reading your work has always been a pleasure!

You've exquisitely combined the sensual with the sexual with the soulful.
My only comment is that the "scent of vanilla" seems a little out of the blue, and unrelated to the rest of the wonderful poem.
A beautiful read.

[An owl on the moon]

So pleased that you came by! Thank you, dear friend.. and that you are. :)

[New Dawn]

Very romantic Craig, the intimacy of two souls combining, beautiful

[An owl on the moon]

So glad you came by... thank YOU! :)

[DIVYA]

This is such a beautiful and amazing tribute to a woman. One of the best I ever came across! Your pen creates such magical visions!

"In her sighs
she speaks of
stories and sonnets
history and fantasy" - priceless poetry here!

[An owl on the moon]

Always pure joy to have you by, Divya! I truly do long to read your book... even the index in the back! :)

[DIVYA]

Thanks a lot Craig! Those are awesome words! :)

[Not Your Typical New Yo..]

What an amazing write. Each of us is a book. We are stories. Some are good, some are bad, some sad. But this is brilliant. A romantic poem like no other I've read. Thanks for sharing

[An owl on the moon]

Yes, my friend.. and as a poet we all look forward to reading more of your book. :)
