Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Poet Romanticism

Notes About The Poem

The Librocubicularist

"The Librocubicularist"


The rain gently strokes the window panes 
they’re foggy from the warmth inside
she’s caught up in sheets of 
pages, white Egyptian cotton bounds her long naked
legs, she turns over on her side as she’s caught in different stages.
She moves her long slender fingers
over her captive’s
words, ever so softly whispers,
“I wish this story would never end.
Make me your infinite final draft,
I’m now in your story, my friend”.

She reaches over and turns on "The Silent Forest",
it’s a Chillstep Mix,
"It’s going to be a very slow 
read", she muses.
The rain lashes outside
pounding harder and harder,
the bed shakes.
What a perfect 
day to be held captive
in her story,
listen to her reign.

She thinks of "Little Earthquakes".


(Lovejoy-Burton/ December 2017)

Suburban Lovechild December 13, 2017 at 7:38 AM I had to look up "Librocubicularist", love learning something new. You had me at Pete Townsend, one of my musical heroes. Great write. Welcome to the Soup. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton December 13, 2017 at 3:44 PM Thanks SubLovechild. Let me read some more of your work, I'm sure I'll be learning a thing or two, from the streets your walk. :)

"She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain".
