Books

the dust  
collects  
builds  
inch by inch  
as bystanders  
feather touch  
glance  
dare  
to briefly open  

the library  
so beautiful  
elegant  
books  
align the walls  
every genre  
in which one  
can imagine  
the atmosphere  
draws people near  
if only to inhale  
the historic scent  

the book of heart  
sits upon the shelf  
the cover so sensual  
enchanting  
one must touch  
as eyes  
read over the title  
and opening remarks  
so appealing  
alluring  
the mouth waters  
the tongue pleads  
to take a taste  

the first and second chapter  
are so well written  
the anticipation of more  
makes the mind and body  
tingle  
ache into the depths  
they anxiously await  
knowing they must  
read this magnificent  
story  
they turn the page  

so much detail  
too many pages  
the depth  
brings forth an  
overwhelming  feeling  
quickly the book  
is closed  
and placed back  
upon the shelf  

the craving  
so deep within  
to be read  
into the depths  
every page, every chapter  
until the end  
layer by layer  
even the messy  
truths  
to be dusted off  
and held so close
so tightly  
If for only  
a moment
