Read to Me Softly

Poem of passion and my passion for all things read.

Read to Me Softly

 

Read to me
while I lie here with eyes closed against the sky.
  Read to me with passion
of the smell of lemon
  and musk wrapped in silk and satin.

  I rest here in your voice and drink
your very words.
  Read to me with lilt of breath.
Breathe me to the brink
  of lasting
as I sink into your sighs.

Read to me gently,
  read softly into the night.

A friend of mine always believe that "we learn when we read" . I admit, I'm not a voracious reader like you and I admire people like you who spend much time in reading books. I have too much works plus hobbies and passion so I lack time in reading more books. I am reading only books about family and marriage. lol.

Nice presentation. Your soul (as a reader) is seen here, r. Keep it up!
