Ink of you

you are the chapter
I always return to
the page folded down
soft at the corner
worn from all the times
I needed to feel you again

in the book of my life
you are the part that breathes
where the words slow down
and the world feels
like it might be enough

the ink of you lingers
not bold or loud
just steady and true

I could turn a thousand pages
wander through whole volumes
but still
I keep your place marked

because even if the story continues
even if the plot twists
you are the chapter
that taught me
how to feel the words

  2. So descriptive Jennifer, …in the book of life, we turn the pages, and feel the words so deeply, … thank you my friend, I was reading along with you, ….💙🤗

  3. Wow, Jennifer!!!! This is so Awesome!!! I so love the emotions and beautiful you weave with your words that always reach out and touch my heart and make me mist up or sigh Ahh!!!

    Really loved the soft and gentle beauty of your opening lines!

    Might you be so Sweet and Kind as to record an audio of this for your Fans and Me – PLEASE??? This needs your Soft, Sweet Voice to bring it to life, so we can close our eyes and visualize your words in the images you write of!!! I can imagine these lines in the opening of a movie scene with you reading the words as the images pass by!!! Oh My, That sounds so wonderful!!!

    I saw a couple of titles for other poems as sequels to this?
