Today's piece of creative writing is in prose.
A Biblio Affair
I trace the embossed image upon the smooth, glossy cover
Letting my fingertips caress and explore.
I run my fingers down the spine, down and up, discovering the smoothness.
I gaze at this thing of beauty, unwilling to rush
Taking my time to allow the essence to overwhelm my senses
I inhale it's newness and am transported into memories of similar encounters.
I cajole it into opening and touch the rough edges of unread pages.
It yields and I begin to read.
