On the sharing of books


Sharing books with one you love,
talking of books you have loved and lived
through their characters now in you.

The rifling through colourful covers almost coveting their re discovery

That one, takes you back
always a girl when inside those pages,
the person you were whatever your age was
when that story first inhabited you,
as it still does now

Making you up
made of
that book,
now it takes one you love into it’s embrace
its story never to be erased

This one, stirs your heart
with an almost love sick yearning
to be turning back time
to be the one first opening it’s chapter one
but knowing now, it will capture one you love,
who will follow your footsteps down this path to you,
getting closer.
