My favorite Book


You're a book of great breadth
of longevity, of much pages, and depth
of a cover so cherishable and fair
With contents of love and care
open there before my charmed eyes
a work and peice that tell no lies
of binding so true and fine
of a quality strong spine
your words are pearls of eloquence
in every streaming sentence
Passionate, faithful and respectable
to the very last syllable
It's hard to fathom your deepest part
but worth trying from the very start
to penetrate into your deepest plot
your deepest theme, your deepest thought
As a beautiful world in yourself
you are my favorite one off the shelf
I will never be finished with you
always my language, always so true
New Intrigues with new chapters
Mysteries, passions, adventures
Never will I put you down, nor away
Between your pages my love shall stay
< !signature-->

 "...no single sound too rude    
Upon thy slumber shall intrude,
Our thoughts, our souls- O God above!    
In every deed shall mingle, love."
--Edgar Allan Poe (from Serenade)

Beautifully written poem
I trust your talking about a human book
They are the most intriguing
without a doubt

Now that's a book I'd never set down.


Good poem, poeminister.
