Read Me

by HOLLY ARMER   Nov 29, 2005


Safe within your hands
beneath the penetration of your stare
Slowly sifting through me
with the greatest of care

Caressing me softly
you gently find your way
Absorbing all the things
that I never say

Lost within a realm
created by my depth
Searching every moment
until there's nothing left

Looking for the answers
discovering only me
Cast upon a pedestal
for all to see

Nestled with the others
I've found my special place
Upon the wooden shelves
of this beautiful bookcase

*I'd like to thank those who took the time to read this and suggest a title. A special thanks to Mr. Bob Shank for presenting me with the one I've deemed most appropriate.

    I love this! haha it's so....different. Who would think to write a poem through the eyes of a book. One of the most intelligent poems I've read with an excellent twist at the end. One of those poems where i find myself thinking "why didn't i think of that first?" :o)

    Wonderfully deep, beautifully written.

    I love the whole idea of it..

    and wow, how the ending got me=)

    See, it`s things like that, you know, giving the poem a twist, that really makes it stand out. Before the last line my impression was that I had just read a very good love poem...one among many, though. But I had to re-read it in order to get things straight. I really had to. The images I had created while reading the first 4 stanzas, obviously had to be changed, I figured, after having read the last stanza.

    Great job, dear!

    Now see really like this peice...it was kinda tricky!!! Your title is "read me"..so you think it'd be a poem of some importance...but it was merely stating a book on a shelf! Thats awesome..I'm laughing!! actually I'm not but I am smiling! This was really enjoyable..I like misc poems because they are a different taste of writing then what I so often read! Great write keep it up!
