My romance with books (2)

 

To feel you in my hands and smell your beautiful aroma for this hour this week this month you have become my new lover.

 I open you and look inside oh yeah what a mysterious surprise! The words written in you give me a natural high and I don’t think I ever want to put you down. Puff by Puff I’m debating should I let you make love to me fast or should I try to make this love making (reading) experience last?

I feel like I am becoming one with you, I have entered into your world; the walls around me above me have tumbled down shedding light on a new found beautiful world.

You have this way of grabbing a hold of every emotion that could possibly be thought of. I feel your sadness, I feel your joy, and even my sexual organs start to pulsate with yours. you make me smile also frown as I turn the pages one by one feels like I’m holding my breath the feelings start to get so intense I have to remind myself to relax.

Its crazy how time flies when I am with you, I decide to take a rest I find myself dreaming about you and what will happen in chapter 8 next. 

You put a spell on me and that is for sure, I don’t feel like myself I am living another life I am traveling to places I have never seen before meeting people from other lands for some odd reason I feel like we are one.

 What have you done to me?

 At times you make me feels so good I hold you to my heart and to my lips tears roll down my eyes; ok let me get a grip! You have become my friend, my teacher and my lover; you have become ME, my sister, my father, mother and brother. It is amazing how you can be all of these things in a short period of time.  I give thanks to your creator for bringing you into my life.

My romance with books!

Sitting here in my bed about to go to sleep and I open my laptop to see whats new on my favorite BLOG today. Well, while I sit here and listen to Paulo Coelho on the Blaue Sofa at the book fair Frankfurt and I’m listening to the conversation he just mentioned how he continues to write and how its not about the money but he continued to write for the challenge and the curiosity of what will come from his soul and sharing his soul with the readers. I’m thinking to myself, That’s deep! It made me think about my romance with books. I have always have had a romance with reading books(thanks to my Mommy and Daddy (yes i still call them mommy and daddy) who encouraged me over and over to read and took me to book stores to pick out a book to read whenever I was being rewarded for something good I had done); reading has always been my love next to writing in my journal. Well, back in 2000-2003 I had started to give up on reading books; I knew I had grown out of certain material I had been reading but I just could not find the right material that would strike a nerve that could keep my attention that would move me. So I took a break from reading (except for reading the Purpose Driven Life  in late 2003 that was recommended by my College English Teacher).  Then in 2004 I was introduced to Paulo Coelho through the book The Alchemist this was also around the time that a major change was about to happen in my life; One year from separating from the Air Force I wasn’t sure what to do with myself was offered a job working in the middle east (Qatar).  I opened this book and it opened a door inside of my soul that had been closed for a while it also ignited that flame of romance for books again. His books dare me to go beyond my comfort zone,  I have started taking my baby steps to my dream.
