How clever Brandy, from the perspective of a book even. I miss holding a book in my hands, most of what I read is now through a cold, hard device. It may be easier, quicker even, but it is simply not the same.

Those moments are precious, indeed. Holding an actual book. My thoughts lingered there while writing this. To be a book, to know what it's like to feel that tender touch. I appreciate you and your kind words, FJ. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

Very sensual in an understated way, dear friend. I love the idea of between "Great Expectations" and "Gone With the Wind". Brilliant! The thought of being your lover's book and asking to take a look and touch me... reading a book can be a tactile experience, and is a lovely metaphor for romantic affection. "Trace verbs like braille" is the icing on this delicious cake. This scribble has brought an enduring smile, Brandy. Another Fav. God bless your day today. Hugs ~ John

John, you always know the right thing to say, to take my breath away. Being between these two books is certainly a fantasy, and through these lines, it becomes a reality; even if through poetry. :) I'm blushing with you saying, reading the lines like braille is; "icing on this delicious cake." Such a beautiful and sensual way to express how you feel, indeed. Thank you my sweet friend, for your lovely comment, and for placing this in your favorites. My heart is smiling. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Any book that finds itself wedged between Great Expectations and Gone with the Wind is worthy of 'reading' and to be handled with tender care, Brandy! Expectations would not be swept away by any wind; on the contrary, the book won't be laid down until the final page was reached. ~ Yours is a poem of suggestive sensual delight :) Regards & Hugs, my friend // paul
