Reading Through You


I would rather read through you
Than read you and all yours, 
Cos change is constant... 
To be left outdated

Cum disguised facade;
Lonely at esplanade, 
Dreaming to see the sea's depth
Yet never swim its warmth. 

Reading you is theoretical:
In the midst of confusion, 
Always trouble patience, 
While trying to know thee... 

It looks like a hopeless mirage, 
Also like dream's entourage 
To brighten a stary night
Off moon's flexile light. 

Reading through you is pragmatic:
In the bliss of experienced push, 
Always giving head to ease, 
While studying growth... 

No separate views to draw progress, 
Back in time for possible redress
Or misery to vanish interest, 
Let alone make pride and ego contest. 

Reading you is just to know unjustly. 
Seems cool, what curiosity displease! 
Reading through you is keen to study keenly. 
It's certainly won't be at ease. 

Mind at its prime's risk. 
Heart at its moment of unrest
Switch on to whisk
Brief dirt at its quest. 

Promote reading to activate check
On every glowing soft look,
Wanting to make you a spec
Without reading through you like a book...

How will such manage through the worse?
When yet to know the worth of its terror,
Or accomplish a mission impossible cum curse,
When the best seemed enough an error.

Life will surely come with challenges,
Even when it's at its best. 
Always be the tough sponges... 
Whenever the road roughly oppressed. 

Read not just to know, 
But also to duly grow... 
The need to discover, 
Truth life is yet to uncover....

Happy International Day for Book Lovers!

What you read most, 
Is your mind's host.
Trailing your heart
On a daring art.
