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

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:)

I came to see the #1 contender. It's as subtle as a punch, yet clearly everyone is drinking and enjoying the taste. Top marks for verse, meter and rhythm, I feel as though the metaphor is a little too (intentionally?) transparent which detracts from the mystery of the piece. Yet the entrancing nature of the prose (and that font) cannot be denied. I like where the bar is set for this site, I'm looking forward to grabbing my pole-vault gear...

The person whom you dedicate this poem to must be really special. This is a very romantic poem. I can feel the love (of the writer to the person) by just reading these lines.

Wow, your writing has improved these months I have been off the site. good to see you are still on here. I lost my husband 10 months ago and took it very hard. Slowly getting back to normal or as normal as possible without him..Nice write..Valentine

[An owl on the moon]

Oh, dear Valentine.. I appreciate your encouragement.. and pray comfort and peace for you.. May you find all the strength you need each day..

I browsed most read poetry, and this is #1, so congrats on that.

Also, all the women must have loved this, like shooting ducks in a barrel lol

For me, I like the subtle off-rhymes (find/hand, etc) which help create the soft rhythm.
