I'm an open book, if I love you. You can read me, whenever... and however, you like. By rote...by rite... by favored passage... ...Rough, or smooth. ...Strong, or gentle. My pages, will bend, to you... and press, crisply towards the texture, of your intimate touch. They'll shiver, and spin, for you. Peruse, my chapters. Absorb, my thesis. Allow me, to teach you the rhythm, of me until you can speak it, like a second language. You can slide your fingers, down the hard ridges, of my spine, and break me open, upon your tabletop. You can laze, in a dim corner with me, sprawled across the thickness, of your lap, begging you... to thumb the creases, and to whisper, over the wall, of words. I'm an open book... until you hurt me. Then the covers, swing swiftly closed, like French doors... unmindful, of fingers.

An Open Book (Adultish)
Since parallel worlds exist in universe where soul self experiences more than one lifetime simultaneously, I ask myself if I had a double what would they be like? Would they dress in my style or as clone be barely recognizable? Would They sing in shower, and write poetry with passion? Or enjoy swimming with dolphins? Would they at a moments notice dance in supermarket aisles? Or dress as a clown to entertain young and old? If time lines collapsed causing both worlds to merged and we looked in mirror, I Ask Myself would fear overtake or would we celebrate. I think we would rock in oneness accepting any traits developed for the good of soul. And celebrate the divine magic of the Universe with glass held high (or not cause I don’t drink liquor only energies of love bottled in heart where hug replaces glass.)
