sometimes i wish i were a book
sometimes i wish i were a book
placed delicately in your hands
so i could feel you run your fingers
down my spine
and allow my words
to seep through your skin
would you be able to put me down
or would you keep turning pages
learning all that you could
would you highlight your favorite passages
i wonder if your pupils
would dilate at my colorful cover
how i would love to see your reaction
when you reach the chapters of my secrets
i would love to feel you stroke
gently along my creases
would you keep me on a shelf
or take me with you everywhere
would you read between my lines
would you take the time to care
how i would long for the feel
of your strong hands
caressing my body
watch you inhale my scent
as you read the phrases
that are naughty
we would spend rainy days together
from the first line you would be hooked
oh yes
my dear
how i wish i were a book
I know I’m late with my Thursday post, but I didn’t want to skip it. I wrote this poem two years ago.
I hope you enjoy it!
Love & life lessons,
Kristian
I love it! ❤️

It would be difficult to get through all the binding, pointy corners, and endless sheets.

The poem is delightful in word and tone. However, it did make me think about how we, as humans, pay more attention to our “things” than our loved ones. These days, a similar one could be written about cell phones!
