Unread

Like a book, worn and thick, I found it in the cobwebs of my thoughts
My heart lept with joy
Wanting to read it more I made to get it
Farther it went as every move nearer to it I made
It smiled. Its cover saying "Just be.."

That book is to stay unread and should be cherished with its mesmerising cover beauty and charm.
The once made acquaintance is to stay and remembered
The book read little with its lasting impression is to stay forever
The read is not for me to enjoy...

wow, it is like meeting a person and being attracted to him or her...but knowing full well that book has a really enticing cover but may have deceit written in the pages and it is best we leave it unread, or that person unapproached...
nice metaphor here.

I feel the same thing whenever I bought a new book for myself. if I talk about the poem. The poem is the description of once feeling associated with a book. And my friend you've done your job very well. Your writing style is quite easy to understand and there is no shifting in the mood so there is no variation so I can't figure out what will you do if you'd have to write a really long poem. Would like to read one if someday you write it. But this one is like a big surprise in a small pack. Keep it up and have a nice day
