The Velvet Touched Feathered Quills of Mysterious Books


"The Velvet Touched Feathered Quills of Mysterious Books"

Escape arrives easily 
when everything’s ugly 
deep diving into the swelling
pursed lips of smooth purring magi 
seen naked in the skinny dipped
honeyed pools of pausing poetry
kissing the tongues
of mysterious books
tracing fingers 
over their soft 
flimsy pages
their velvet touched
feathered quills hooked
removing covers slowly 
imprinting new movements
like scoring symphonies
Escape arrives easily 
deep diving into the swelling
pursed lips of the smooth purring magi

Ahh my friend, the magic in books is truly real. I have a huge library and have read most of the books over 3,000 hardbacks I have. I have been collecting over 48 years now. Great poem!! God bless..

My father had a library very much like that, floor to ceiling, in one room and another, some shelves three levels deep. Books, it would seem, have always been a large part of my life and my world. xx
