The Book

Golden filigree font idly patterns the skin embracing the pages As softly as a mother Translucent, moon coloured, pages littered with emotion. And mystery. Pliable, soft to the touch, pages Turn silently, seducing quiet contemplation And oh, the end! The end! That final page, that final turn, triumphantly heralding the sadness of a friendship finished.

I enjoyed reading your poem, Kaye. I am an avid reader so I can relate to your words. I especially like the way you ended it. Love, Kim
