Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Faux Leather Bindings

~

Counting out change for a novel I’m buying
picking a title that just went on sale
Turning the page where the margins are crying
only to read of this heartbroken tale

Where is the chapter that speaks of forever
in between lines that my love should have penned
Ink where eternal has now become never
seems the last place one would look for pretend

What’s to believe about fictional findings
words I once thought so incredibly true
Reaching “The End” in these faux leather bindings
knowing the words come to mean, me and you

~

Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 4:22 PM Such a unique metaphor perfectly penned my friend...one can feel the sadness in this one, it lingers across the pages and grabs the reader pulling them into the somber mood... great poem my friend :) hugs Chris Green October 11, 2019 at 4:30 PM I always look forward to your visits Sandy.
