“What do you mean dad, I am here every day. I eat with you I discuss how your day is going and you can always count on me for anything you need?”

“I mean your own life. When will you find a job or get interested in someone to make her your life partner?”

“I will find time for those one day I promise. Right now the books are holding my whole attention. I find that when I don’t read I feel lost”

“I hope you do son, I really hope…

The cosy lair, a perfect setting

in the backdrop of an infinite treasury,

for a date of the two bibliophiles.

they brew animated conversations over coffee.

Debates unchain emotional exchange of opinions,

the heat lingers on, igniting a feeling of passionate bookbosom

hands feel the pages, the heart sentranced by the words.

The two biliophagist indulge in readultry,

celebrating their profound love for books!

Eugi’s weekly prompt : Celebration

• 

look into my eyes 
turn the pages of my mind
watch the words tessellate
