In quiet corners
obsession lingers
eyes stuck tight
while passion flames.
Wrapped in arms,
stroked, caressed,
paper thin
each moment savoured
with lingering longings
until with sighs,
the last
page is turned.

(Always so sad when a great book comes to an end)

[ Smiles ] Quite nice!
Thanks, Renard
Cool! This is smouldering!
thanks
It’s about a book?! I mean, of course, a great book… 😉
It’s about the obsession of a great book, about folks holing up in corners all over the house, each person sunk in their own imaginary world. Like my house, when everyone is reading a different book from the Outlander series, immersed in a passionate adventure.
Great poem Shawn. Love a good double entendre.
Thanks, Brett
Great poem! I wasn’t thinking about a book. 🙂
Well, ya know, passions come in many forms. 😉
Love it! I hate when that last page is turned. I never want a good book to end.
I know the feeling, Michelle, though I confess, if it’s a really good one, after savouring a few moments, I’ll flip back to the beginning and start all over immediately! 🙂
you make me want to read another book right now. 🙂 great job.
😉 Excellent. My work here is done.
OH!! That was about a BOOK??? Oooohhhh….uhhm, ahh hem! Of COURSE it was about a book, I didn’t think anything otherwise!! 🙂
lol
I read really great books.
Ahem. Yes. 50 Shades of Shawn!

I love this, it is so true. I always feel I need to share everything I’m feeling when I finish a book, the excitement, happiness, surprised..
🙂
Love this.
Thanks, Corrine.
