Don't you love the feel of book? I like the weight, the heft of it-- I love when it is leather-bound with every page a golden glyph all this glitter fingertips shadows glimmer shimmer lips every word I write is home and yet I turn each page alone... I adore the written word and the taste of life absurd I lick the cream of imagery-- anything to make you see... Every word a cry unheard-- this is why I write-- I follow bird a flight unfurled wings of shadow into night. |

A libra libretto, luring a learned lament. Enjoyed. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

I too love the smell of leather books and buy them sometimes for their character (and they do have them). Serenity, you dear poet, know how to strike a chord in another poetic heart! ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.

Just wonderful. Like inot2B I especially like the line "licking the cream of imagery." Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth |
