Sometimes you read a book so good
 |
| Wonderful book! |
You keep on turning pages till the night
Has tiptoed into morning.
When you read one even better, though,
Respect demands you pace yourself.
Similar to eating seconds of a perfect meal,
Only to discover how the taste has changed.
Tomorrow I will open it and savor
Every word, like curling up within
Strong arms that hold me once again.
Tonight I wait, the cover closed,
As if I'm waiting for a lover to return.
