~ The Way You Live Through Me

 

Each page filled with gossamer cotton layers~

Hand-bound with precious care

The smell of history,  woven in magic,

The calligraphic beauty of every word

 

The narrators soul alive,

Dancing with time jumps

Almost trial pleasing illusions

That come alive~

 

Ages breathe through young lungs

Felt in the most sensible way,

Just how you live through me

I keep growing each day~

 

Pain, love and treasures,

I find on the journey

Of reading a book~

It will forever live through me

The way I gave it a look

 

 

~ Elisa Laura

Wow, Elisa my friend!! Amazing, fantastical work as always. I'm getting a much better sense of the story you're weaving together now. I haven't read all the "~" poems, as you call them, but when I have the time, I'd love to.

I honestly think you're an amazing fantasy writer, and would love to see a whole book of Elysion poems, or something like that. But then again, that would mean you'd have to make it public (I assume). And then you're thrown to the wolves, aren't you?? It's tough to share our inner worlds with the reading public, because not all of them will understand.

Eric, I can't thank you enough tonight, Thank you for being a friend, by being a friend. ;-) Sigh, it's not in my nature, to promote myself, Eric. I am glad I could inspire just people like yourself, and that's enough.... :) I'm rather writing in silence, and post my inspiration for a select group, who understand, then a whole crowd.... :) I loved your thoughts though, they are well meant, and really sweet. Thank you. :)

such is the music of the heart , such beautiful music

Thank you so much dear. I'm happy you liked it. And also the music... :-)♫

[FJ Davis]

Your regard--indeed, love--for this subject is starkly evident, and magnetically endearing.
Lovely work, Elisa!

Oh thank you Mister Frank, happy you enjoyed it :-)

[PurpleQuartz]

A truly beautiful poem. You have created a masterpiece.

Thank you so much PurpleQuartz, grateful to you, and happy you enjoyed my poem. ~Elisa

Someone said books are the treasures of the soul , we read become learn . Books become part of us , journeying with us in life.Lovely write.

That is what I think too Moon, books are written out of wisdom, from each other narrator, and to spread a word into the world... people who read much, become wisdom, thank you so much, I love books, I guess, I can't be without them....

[Everett DeValle]

Wonderful ode to books...you wrote a tapestry of words woven on page. Excellent presentation and splendid read. Nicely done, Elisa.

Nah Ev, that is coincidence, I just was on your page, and wanted to say how sorry I am I forgot your B-Day... thank you so much for your thoughts, and review, I so appreciate it :-)

[Everett DeValle]

LOL, oh, no worries, I'm pretty private...but I thank you for the bday wishes.

You are very welcome, Elisa. You work very hard in your poetry and it is beautiful :)

many don't appreciate words enough...books are beautiful things..reminds me of emily dickinson's poem "there's no frigate like a book"

they help us transverse universes...take us places we have never been...take us out of our world into theirs...wonderful diversions from which we can learn much.

Thank you very much Jacob, for your time, and thouhts, truly appreciated.

[Kenneth The Poet]

I like books, the real deal. I love paper and ink. This expresses that feeling so well.

Thank you Ken! yes, it does... for me it is the most real thing too~ Books always tell more than movies, or documentaries... they let you sniff the real odor of a place... well, sigh, almost... :D thank you greatly, I will be back for you, just give me some time... so much to catch up with, and I didn't forget your marvelous book, I'm still halfway....

[Antonio Valentino]

we live through you as well
your arms spread open,
front to paperback

your spine bound
to your pages
that once clothed
trees
holding hands
with the sky

your eyes
are the beginning

the middle
is your heart

your smile
is the end
that keeps us
never far
apart

Wow, dear friend, oh geez, how can a sensitive soul as me not love your words. ;-) they melt. They do. Thank you for your poetic answer, most appreciated. I am so happy we are friends my buddy! :-))) BIG hug!

[Antonio Valentino]

.. help.. gasp.. can.. t.. brea.. theeee whewwww..

haha

i do it for the hugs you know..

well.. and also because, you're you..

((((Spaghetti Girl)))))

Aw, my pasta brain is grateful to you, it so really is.... tomorrow my tortilla brain will too, and the day after my brain is answering you as fine noodles~ BUT HUGS yes my sweetest friend always for you!!!

[Antonio Valentino]

aww you too..

[writing mojo]

maybe i should reword it to found...this communication thing can get a little confusing, you know lost in translation

Being lost in translation is the most wonderful happening~ it gives richer mind jumps, and force you to really feel. Knocked off the rational controlling spirit for a while~ The way you are you, is most important.... be always like you're. Elisa~

I was just joking dear friend, you will understand what I really meant in your mail....
And why I couldn't said it in public ;-)
