Loose Leafed and Fancy Free

Neville

 

Loose Leafed  & Fancy Free

 

The glue that once so very
Firmly
Bound each single page
Of me to your
Perfect spine
Has now become unstuck
Indeed it seems
The very seams of me
Have finally worked loose
So please
Now scratch me from
Your worry list
Its time to call a truce
I no longer need your
Pedestals or podiums
At least
Those you once offered me
Nor your promises or potions
I can read you like a book ….

    Times certainly change when u become able to attach an index to her text.
    The novel has to be thoroughly read from cover to cover with full familiarity before such index can be appended.
    The reading of course, is the pleasureable trip of discovery for both the reader and the book.

    Really enjoyed this metaphor spin.

      Cheers DA ..

      Stay well sir....

    • Fay Slimm.

      Brilliant metaphors used here to clear the decks of an un-lovely ending to a once love affair - your words meld like glue to the leaves of this reader's memory -- - such powerful stuff Nev.

        Once that book is read and no surprises are left it is the time to select a new one.

                A story well spoken. The book of love is like a novel written in pain and sorrow. The main character... has none. Her foil is the fool who believes in reconciliation. Fool me once/fool me twice etc. sadly enjoyed by me. - Phil A.
