for my special friend  _________________ you say she's an open book perhaps but have you read the entire story have you looked beyond the written word and touched the tear-stained pages did you feel the flame searing your fingers as you caressed the edges where the pages have been burned and torn did you take the time to read each passage crying with the tears laughing with the joy and tenderly embracing the pain did you learn the soul that dwells beneath the cover an open book perhaps but read not only with your eyes but open your heart as well once you've read the story don't toss it on the shelf keep it hold it close to your heart for never was a more beautiful work composed -vlraynes ...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes |

Elegence in motion. How we need to peek inside and take a look as you say inside the book. Great Job. I love this piece. Look forward to more. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |

vlraynes, Wow, there is no better way to view a person then by reading the complete book from cover to cover. I love this poem, I think you did a fabulous job, you are very talented. |

an excellent reminder to us all not to "judge a book by its cover"...like the way you incorporate this saying into your poem here  |

This is a very touching poem...So profound and true. You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

VLRaynes~ Oh, YES ! The library of the books of my friends have many dog-eared pages of favorite recalls. This is a splendid piece of your talent. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
