Anticipate Every Turn

A poem

I want to be the book you can’t put down
The one you enjoy reading between the lines
Anticipating every turn of the page
The one you keep tucked under your arm as you cross the street
I want you to touch my pages
Let me be the one you curl up with in the corner cafe
Moisten your finger as you reach for me
I want to touch your intellect with my verse and fondle the truth you keep hidden away
I want you to wander…
