Book Mark

 

 

 

you were the foxy novel

i wanted to wrap my eyes around

squeeze the pages, dog ear your heart

 

save it for later, then forever

when i started to drift off to sleep

when i couldn't read the fading words

when the nightlight burned out

like thoughts of you dreamed

in epilogues

 

i wanted to feel your binding

the supple-leather sweetness 

as i traced paragraphs of sensuality

on onion skin 

patterns of playful prologues

 

am i too foreword?

When you combine clever with sexy you get this Jacob, dressed in fine leather...silky smooth :)
Expanding your metaphorical horizons, genius? I like the new suit :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I am enjoying your metaphorical parallel writing that uses great juxtapositions to compare to life and relationships.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

This is somewhat erotic...........please tell me you have not been reading 50 Shades of Grey!

You have again weaved your magic with this one. Very sensual tone throughout, with a great choice as words as always.

And that last line is very, very clever! I just loved that ending!
Another great piece of writing, Jacob. Very nice work!

no, haven't read it or seen it...:))))

Love your word choice in this one, smartly done. Somehow the entire poem reads somewhat lyrical to me with a nice flow. "Foxy novel", like that expression very much.

onion skin suggests she's multi layered, clever metaphor for indulging in a little foreplay, a book mark indeed
