BOOKENDS, by R. SCOTT BOWEN First Line: Between the bookends / of my heart Last Line: Of my heart ... | |||
Between the bookends Of my heart I keep the stories of our love ... The one that tells of that first night When we knew each sweet surrender ... Sang our song of love And found such comfort In the silent wisdom of the stars ... The one that tells of your farewell ... (I realize now how wise you were Not to tie me down But to leave our love unspoiled) And so I treasure dearly the stories Between the bookends Of my heart ... | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHERE SHALL THE BABY'S DIMPLE BE? by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND MAY MORNING by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER AGNOSTIC TO MYSTIC by WILLIAM ROSE BENET EAST SIDE MOVING PICTURE THEATRE - SUNDAY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM CAELIA: SONNETS: 9 by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) |
