Book Mark

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?

Ohhh baby, let me feel your binding and squeeze your pages.....better than , "what's your sign?" Sorry, I just found this metaphor a bit comical, but then I have been told I have a sick sense of humor! :) The last line is absolutely the best! You are so clever!! Lydi**

This is a delightful piece of literary placed passion and lust, quite bawdy.
I am going to suggest the use of the word "were" rather than "are", makes this a piece written about someone rather than to them.
I could see a set of three or more poems, in rising themes of ardor, if one wished to apply the power of this piece, to the pitching of woo to a desired lover of books. Of course the direct nature of the work does have a power and would certainly appeal to a receptive audience.
I have read a few of your pieces, perhaps not enough, for I find this one has a different feel to it, and here you are more generous in the amount of words you use. I will have to expand my exploration of your works.

Such a cleverness of words, jacob! You truly are one of the metaphorical Masters in the cafe.. you create visuals and romp them in dancing phrases! (I can't wax lyrical like you!)

Your create light and shade, hint and shout, veil and display, as with, ' as i traced paragraphs of sensuality -- -- on onion skin -- -- patterns of playful prologues,.. ',

As for that final cheeky phrase...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, emma---you are kind.

Can't do that with a kindle, just no feeling whats so ever. Nothing better than quality bound leather. Though when i tied her up and went out for a beer, the expletives that came out of her mouth when i returned. Women huh.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yeah, women! you are too funny!
thank you, Paul.

Just don't treat her like a novel thing and she'll be back for the sequel. :)

It's like falling into a good book. Time seems to pass quickly. And as night falls, imagination blends into reality. Sweet emotions linger and we fall asleep, in blissful euphoria. My kind of novel..:) And when we wake, she's still there...delightful.

thank you for your kind review, Roma,
