My Soulmate


Everything is unfamiliar

A world of unknown at your fingertips

Your mind is handed the task of stripping away the layers 

Like a child does a birch tree

Your virgin eyes slide from word to word

You interpret, you analyze

You put together the pieces

You fall in love with the meaning

Your dog-eared page creases 

The euphoria of gleaning

The pages begin to wear 

Yet your love remains

Your love grows

The pages yellow and the words fade

Yet your yearning to reread never wanes

It never will
