-an Open Book-

~An Open Book~ My life is quite an open book For anyone to take a look. It’s lying there for all to see Feel free to uncover the real me. Within its pages I share my heart. It’s like a navigational chart To my dreams, my pain, my sorrow, And all my hopes for tomorrow. In this book, my fantasies I disclose, Some in rhyme and some in prose. But on these pages you will discover The man who is my one true lover. Between the lines, my fears I reveal, These I have no desire to conceal. The pain and anguish are all a part Of the many emotions in my heart. Know that I have nothing to hide, My book tells of my shame and my pride. So if you care to have a look, Feel free to ask about my book. ~~x~~

Hi Jenni, you have just taken me back in time....reminded me of Dean Martin's song "My heart is an open book"! Yours is a lovely poem, your words as good and even better than the lyrics of mentioned song:) ~ Regards // paul
