can we trust the print

 

can we trust the print

 

 

 

cobwebs between the binders

enclosing love

pages of unmeant tenders

as her heart begins to rove

 

he will dust off the cover

of a title once discarded

read this other

with eyes more guarded

Cobwebs between the binders
Enclosing love

This is beautiful
Reminds me of a few books I have old worn from my grandfather to his first wife with writing on the first page dated 1915 when they were courting

Well done your poetry is. Beautiful

[PaintedBirdy]

and even if she's just a book, then read her. as i said, she's probably pretty awesome. shy girl and shy girl books are the best!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it's just made up...for the poem...

[PaintedBirdy]

of course. makes me want to read the book on my shelf that i put there but have always been like "ah, maybe next week." you're a jui-jitsu with words, brother. thanks for sharing.

I'm reminded of starting & discarding a book that felt incomprehensible or uninteresting the first time thru, but then much later on, trying again, it snags the attention fully. Great metaphor for people we pass by at first, then come to realize are amazing souls (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

thank you for your kind words, Margie,

dear Jacob... we have wooden geisha fan shutters above our bed...
it lets the sun peek in and the moon shine in at night. It knows a lot of secrets
so I keep the blinds shut... when life gets tough. Sleeping until the
Rooster crows... who knows when fair winds blow... truly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Pat,
j.
yes, lots of secrets uncovered by that sly moon.

That we do Jacob. The heart and mind may forgive, but would put a herd of highly sceptical and suspicious elephants to shame in what cannot be forgotten. It becomes part of the fabric of the US that is now, taking it with us, intended or not, into any future relationship. Suspicious minds affects us all, whether it is our past or theirs, their ghosts are always in the machine.
This is only my opinion and not advice from someone who is perfectly aware that I am ignoring all those who are ignoring me in the first place. I just tell myself it's because I'm just too stunning for them to notice. Well, it's better than crying myself to sleep 😀

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your insightful words...and you definitely understand...oh as we age...why do we get smarter? we might be better off, not.
