A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

School's In....

 

 

 

am reading lips

and yours are a novel

of such classical nature

 

i shall reread until

i net your butterfly kisses to my heart

 

studying in passionate increments

to become

a scholar of you.

the gorgeous, poignant imagery of declaration of love is to me very reminiscent of the bygone romanticism era

brilliant dictation, and the fact that this is short, makes this much more of an enchanting maze to get lost in.

thank you for sharing

To become a scholar of another. To know butterfly kisses. Wonderful places we shall hold closely. I enjoyed the complete poem. Thank you Jacob for sharing the amazing poetry.

You are welcome Jacob.
Fantastic . Just a glance at them and they will become more than an image , but a theory and a grand study . Enjoyed this very much

One cannot know anyone except they get to know their mind without any assumptions going uncorrected. Many a scholar of many a famous person knew nothing of them in the slightest. Don't study to know anyone. Be vulnerable and interact with them and not that you know or heaven forbid think you know of them. That way you will find you either love them or hate them and have to make the decision to love them anyway even should they misuse your vulnerability.

And somehow we can never be the perfect scholars.. Some people have that quality of surprising us even after we 'master' them...

I loved your metaphors here.

Well j. This would have been a class I would major in.
A perfect pair of pouty lips can lead us down the garden path.

I'd say you may never want graduation to arrive. Go for the PhD kiddo!

Your metaphors know no bounds Jacob and like a tube of toothpaste you squeeze more and more out.
How we become 'infatuated' with someone and want to know so much about them. We often rewrite that novel ourselves and make it what we expect hoping to graduate to longevity of love; enduring love in fact.

And Jacob is teaching! Perfectly seductive and gracefully sensuous-"i net your butterfly kisses to my heart"....Am reading lips...and yours are a novel"-great wordplay and stunning lines. Love this!

Very pertinent to the subject and very romantic. Like they say: " You are a gentleman and a scholar."
