I saw her but she wasn't a human she wasn't flesh and curves and hard lines she wasn't tangible and real she was a poem made up of woven sentences synced syllables and flowing verse she was a ballad, a couplet, a sonet free verse beautiful and poignant and touching heart breaking and encouraging I could see my favorite line curving around her jaw and resting on her nose it was a haiku and the meaning was meant just for me her hair was like pages fluttery and fragile yet strong and pure I wanted to touch it to feel the realness of it all and to smile at the smell of a good book instead I sat down with her consumed the lyrics in her eyes over a cup of coffee I read her everyday a chapter her and a chapter there and when I finished I hardly knew what to do with myself but read the book again
