Book Worm
Let me open you and inhale your smell
Move my fingers through your pages
Bury neck in your spine
As an avid reader does
Run my eyes filled with concentration
Upon the story that's written
Read between your lines
Trace out meanings hidden within poems
Scribbled by poets unknown known to me
Give a look at the marks
That's favourite of someone anonymous
Or couldn't decipher your mute words
Unfold corners done at floated away eons
Who gazed you repeatedly
Across the ink dripped to words there
Unlock the treasure you have hidden within
As I turn your pages synchronizingly
You'll then shower rain of knowledge upon me
Reading you as my favourite book
And try to clear mist of my thoughts
Through your perception of topics
And caress your dog-eared worn out pages
Hold with utmost respect
Near my heart
Till sleep takes me in her lap
Lost and twined in each others arm
The world wonders who holds whom
I take up this voyage each day
A love story that I won't let ever end
