Reading Poems
Throughout the day
I shall read
poems.
Poems once written
by two lovers
in the throes of
passion.
Though companions,
they differ in
their voice
and choice of
words.
Picking up a book,
as time allows,
I search each
passage,
living in the
vicarious
enjoyment of
others.
One speaks to me
in
metaphors and
prose,
While the other in
abstract
dimensions.
Always teasing the
imagination,
a treat, no a full
dessert.
Each morsel to be
devoured
with sheer delight
Throughout the day
I shall read
poems,
and dream them
into the night
