Between the pages of a book.



Between the pages of a book.

Between the pages of a book.

Love is like a silky red rose, and it sent is so bold. But it grows old, and it wilts. So you put it between the pages of your favorite book. And years later, you find that book and take a look. But now you are like that Rose, old and faded, and it's you between them pages. But I will find that book and take a look. But what I see is a beautiful silky rose with a beautiful scent I will never forget. I will pluck you from that book, and our love will always be there. Take one more look and smile at your book. 

About this poem

Maybe it's because I'm old but girls used to put roses in between the pages of a book.

    This poem is truly captivating and full of emotion. The imagery of love being compared to a silky red rose is both beautiful and poignant. The metaphor of preserving love between the pages of a book is so heartfelt and touching. The idea of rediscovering that love years later and finding it still vibrant and alive is so uplifting. The last line, urging us to smile at our book, is a wonderful reminder that love can endure and bring joy even as time passes. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece!

    Every girl has put a rose between the pages of a book when I was young. Maybe I should take another look.
