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:)

Cleverly crafted and intelligently written this is poetry at its finest. And I completely agree, books do have a life of their own. The allow us to divulge its pages, immersing ourselves in to the words that it has created for us to enjoy. Books are special and personal to all of us. This is one of my favorite poems that I have read so far. And I also really liked the cover that you had, it really sets the mood of the poem. Brilliant writing

My fav. verse: "In her sighs
she speaks of
stories and sonnets
history and fantasy
blue skies and silvery silks…" If there`s a write I loved the most this night`s this one "She`s A Book". The depth of poetry`s always found in such pieces, where the "rhyming" factor doesn`t stay for long. The rhyme can only entertain readers but, to make readers lost into words--such pieces of ecstasy always work. Excellent write!

Appreciate you coming by... so much! Wishing you a very lifting weekend filled with light... :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Such a lovely romantic write....hinting at sensuality. Indeed, people ARE books....sometimes the words are written in code though and hard to decipher! I enjoyed the sentiment in this one. Lydi**

Lydi, so happy to see you back by! :)

[krystle]

[An owl on the moon]

You will surely write much better, dear krystle... :)
