This Story

Let me just sit here and read a story

A happy story, so different from my own

Let me just sit here with these words before me

and I won't feel so alone

Let me just read this story until the sun has gone

and I´m cold to the bone

With this book on my knee

Let me just sit here and read a story

I see my own reflection

On those ink covered pages

I can almost taste it

People going places

All the dreams I once had

Between the lines they are penned

Always happy, if not

I can just remake the end

Let me just sit here and read a story

I've been sitting here for many nights now

The book is getting old and weary

I don't wanna put it down

These flipping pages make me feel free

A world away from the world

Let me just sit here and read this story

Let me just sit here alone

Pretending that this story is my own

A beautiful poem. I read 1-2 book weekly and read 500 plus poem on three sites. I love and need the words of ancient and new writers. I like the photos and the reason for the story. Books can take us to better places and dream of things we want and need. Thank you for sharing the amazing story.

Wow .. beautiful poem. I love it, when I grab a book to read then yea .. it happens to me too not to put that book down till read that book complete .. Ha! Your poem`s so beautiful .. I enjoyed reading your words ;)

[Johanna]

Thankyou :)) Glad you could relate :)

[Yours Truly]

Enjoyed it, I love to sit down and enjoy a good book.

This is probably we all love to read a story. It helps us escape from our own lives and sometimes we rather find meaning of our own lives in other's stories.

[Johanna]

Yes I agree :) It´s the reason I wrote this poem :)

I loved how descriptive you are with this and respect how you still read actual books instead of trying to read them online like the rest of the world now. The only people who I truly know who read a lot are my mom and dad. And me, of course, but what I'm trying to say is that seeing our society in public with a book in their hands is very rare nowadays. Which I find so sad since I love going out in public with a book. Books are such a perfect best friend I feel, because no words needs to be exchanged, you just sit down in each others company and understand the other completely. You discover a title only to want to have the craving to get lost within it...

This review was beautiful, like a little story. and I know exactly what you mean.. it´s really like that.. I wish people would read more too.. I was reading a book in the city centre last week and people stared at me like I was a unicorn :P haha, but there´s nothing like sitting on a café or a park bench with a book and just dreaming the world away..

[I Am Svetlana]

Yeah, it's sad how society is so set on using technology to do everything that picking up an actual book seems nearly taboo. It's not the same for me if I read a book online. I understand it way better if I have it in my hands, plus I am able to be more affected by the story. It hurts me to hear most people say that they hate or don't like to read whenever I ask them. Like, I can understand some books are made to make you despise reading, but there should be a couple books that have actually affected you or helped change your life in one way or another. And I'm glad you enjoyed my review :)

[Johanna]

They´re actually pretty normal poems and not sexy at all, so don´t get your hopes up. They´re normal and nice, covering a lot of diffrent subjects :)

[Stephen]

Actually ..in my vocabulary "sexy" stands on good, beautiful and peaceful NOT erotic at all.

[Johanna]

I´m glad :) I take it as a compliment then :) who wouldn´t want they´re poems to be good and peaceful :)

[Stephen]

Even yeah it IS a compliment so, yeah, let me get my hopes up cus, my HOPES are always up. *Wink*
