On a Shelf She loved books, writers, stories dusty, first edition, rare and she loved me None of their shelves alike no order to the placement yet she knew exactly where to find each copy It’s been too long since we talked in more than casual conversation when it seems not so long ago I got by on three hours just to talk her to sleep Maybe I’ll send her a book just to imagine her symbolically placing me on a shelf |

Sometimes the books that are well written, will be taken down from that shelf and reread, over and over again...all nicely said..gentle smile |

JLR~ This is wonderfully rendered. 'She loved books, writers, stories dusty, first edition, rare and she loved me' Lovely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I love this one, JLR. Then again, I have always been a sucker for books. Perhaps I shall send one to a very good friend of mine. I love the thought of sitting on her shelf. This was superb! All writing comes |

so she knows exactly where each good book is, eh? then surely she will find you, and not allow you to grow too much dust on your leaves, perhaps the binding you carry will be the ticket enoyed reading you, I'm sure she will, too |
