books - Blackout Poetry Notes

A Form of Reality

Truth be told,
books are mirrors of life;
a form of reality,
the open window of reading
show precisely that
daily life is poetry.

Books undress you
with love.
Read slowly, you'll feel like
yourself again.

The genuine thrill of
books and poems
roused her
deeper than
any love affair.

I am better alone
I think,
an eclectic coffee table
stacked with books,
I feel more vulnerable to this
than to any lover.

The life of the average woman
could make a book,
for they should rewrite history
through inconspicuous great lives.

This pouring rain,
books in a row, and I
a misanthrope - considerably restored.

My curiosity remained,
books could mix all kinds of emotions.
All these books - they were
written in truth.

Shut up among books,
my soul
drank eagerly.

I'm positive that books
are a diversion
for the mind
full of skeletons.

A certain quiet distraction
made me rather lax
with his cigars on the mantel
and a hundred books,
from sofa to table,
every corner stacked.
