Poetry
Bibliophile, Bookshelves, Biblichor
Double Reversed Etherees

From someone who gazed at a stack of books next to the school librarian and the bookshelves in all libraries, to wanting to own some of the books all on her own, and to owning them, placing them in her bookshelf at home, had been quite a dream. Now, with the dream turned true, she’s quite overwhelmed! Steeping in the deep and artistic waters of true gratitude, she emerges a thankful-happy soul for all these small mercies that she has been bestowed upon.
In a snug little corner of her room is a small and beautiful bookshelf, home to a bibliophile’s books that occupy the space with joy — all types and kinds of books, of all shapes and sizes, that’ve made her the person she’s. Her books are her comfort, her pride — some read, some half-read — with the bookmarks in place — and the leaves waiting to be touched, flipped — the biblichor permeating her being whenever she holds them, to read and glean the knowledge they impart.
