You giggle and your white teeth show <br />Your eyes so bright and want that I saw <br />Your voice so honeyed reads for me a story <br />I listen in ecstasy so expectant my heart flows <br />Your flowery words read your heart, it's a story <br /> <br />I'm won by this book, my head in pillow <br />So sweet the lullabies of a mother's baby days <br />A longing with power overtaking a soul's clouds <br />Warm as nectar birds' nest in cold days <br />I'm in a fort and in comfort all in this story <br />Fold not the book, read it over and over, it fills my soul.<br /><br />Charles Jagongo Ogola<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/book-of-love-6/
