I am not just another girl
I'm the kind that makes you think twice
Look left, look right, then back thrice
I don't want to be a mere chapter you read
I want to be the whole book, the title,
dedication, and every page thereafter.
Promise — I'm worth it
I have a spirit that doesn't know how to quit
Let me show you bit by bit
Page by page, flip and engage
Slowly read my words knowing every single one
is meant for you.
Do you feel it too?
The feeling that every chapter holds something
Something New — Beautiful — True?
Write in my margins
Share your thoughts with me
Do not be afraid, love.
I'm right here on the pages with you.
Stroke my binding — handle with care
Because there are special secrets here
You'd never know — gotta open me to see
If you do, I believe you would agree.
I'm not just another girl
Not just another chapter
I am YOUR BOOK
The Title
The Dedication
Every Page
Today, tomorrow, and till happily ever after!

This is just too lovely! Loved the comparison to a book, how you brought to light that you can be relied on, yet have to be handled with care. Wonderful piece!
NiyathyDios, I truly appreciate your comment. It is very interesting to read each individual’s take on my work and even more so if it’s directly about me as an individual. I am honored by your words! Thank you so much, my dear friend. XOXO, Eleanor
No wonder that you are the closest to my Dios, you are too humble just like him. Your poems portray the message in very simple terms that even an illiterate old mother like me can immerse into and capture the essence of your poems. Thanks for that. Hope all good on your side. Please do take care my dear.
OH, you always have a way of making me feel like a champ, Sophia! Thank you for leaving such touching comments for me. I am so blessed! To have someone say your work is “Extraordinary” is HUGE! I am humbled by your words.
Beautiful texture and metaphors. Well written and delivered.
As for myself, I’ll settle for being be that one proverbial line near the ending that flip’s the entire misunderstood story upside down long after everyone has foolishly forgotten the book, the author and even the voice of the story itself.
Aaaaww, thank you for drawing out that message. YES! Everyone should have their very own book in their lives! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. XOXO, Eleanor
Myself. I believe nothing as pretty as a girl reading a book. Knowledge of words, great conversation and a powerful mind. Beautiful. Thank you dear Eleanor for sharing the amazing photo and words. I love the books too.
I'm glad I learned to express my thoughts clearly and everyone loves to read them. Sometimes it takes a lot of thinking power to think about the surroundings. Someone who likes it, someone who enjoys it, appreciates that he is writing very well. Reading and commenting on the post I wrote would give me a lot of bullshit and I would get new ideas to write new ones.
I'm really glad I got your response.
Engaging in some lyrical athletics whilst painting pictures with words and pounding the pavement. I run; blog; write poetry; chase after my kids & drink coffee.
