Bookshelf
We’ve
always been on the same page
Skipping
sentences & punctuation along the way
Yet clearly
following and understanding the full story
Knowing
exactly what we’d been through and where we’d come from
Visions
clear of where we were headed…
Together
Only now,
Now it’s
like the distance has been magnified and the insecurities amplified
Whispers
from all directions
Corroded by
your mixed actions
The message
louder and clearer
Ringing in
my ears
I lost the
bookmark the minute you hopped on that plane
Blind to my
pleas to get you to help me find it,
Hell even
buy me a new one
Despite the
sentimental value of the original one
It’s way
more important to remain on the same page
Now I lie
here flipping through unfamiliar words and scenes
Extremely lost
in the plot
Oblivious
to the moral altogether
So I go out
to the biblioteq
Searching
for more books to throw myself into
But my mind
is still searching
Yearning
for the thrill of our story
Sprouts of
passion
Springs of
real appreciation and value
Valleys of
romantic banter
The
occasional word
Undertones
of sexiness
Moments
capturing rare beauty
It had my
full attention
And I his
Oh just the
thought of it brings me such warmth
Taking me
back to my radiant African rainbow glow after days of heavy thunderstorms
The smooth
flow of the interchanging colours taking hold of me
I’m lost in
the full story
Of a young
boy who fell in love with a girl
How she’d
made him feel fulfilled, accomplished, whole, complete
& her
heartfelt smile lit up his world
They drove
into the sunset over the ocean view
Dolphins
dancing and humming sweet melodies to the scent of their pure love
Dang, I
gotta catch myself
The story I
can’t forget,
The book I
yearn to read forever
Help me
find my bookmark
Before this
beautiful story gets shoved into the back of the bookshelf
And fades
away in the stack
~The story within a book can be very captivating
I feel you...
