He Reads Me

he translates
my language
in unbelievable accuracy
rolling consonants
to perfection
licking every letter
like dripping honey
leaning between
each line
understanding
slowly chewing words
of my soul
leather bound
and linen
gently touching
every page
wanting to
know more
as he
reads me

Helen,
Like a book! That job isn't still open...is it?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Love it.
Are you an 'Open Book'?
If so is there someone who wants to read you from cover to cover.
Not necessarily under one!!!

Hopefully not the Evelyn Wood's speed reading course but a long and determined perusal. Enjoyed
