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 — INDEED! 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. 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 fear, 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 — open me to see If you do, I believe you'd agree I'm not just another girl Not just another chapter I am YOUR BOOK The Title The Dedication Every Page Today, tomorrow, 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.

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.
