She Walks Through Life Like an Unread Book
Mohan
She walks through life like an unread book
A million words just waiting for a look
from that reader who will lose himself
in the splendour of it all when he picks her from the shelf.

She waits for the one who will blow off the dust
lovingly open the covers he must
move through the pages with his tender hands
find himself lost in mysterious lands.

Guide him through the tale slowly she will
while his breath quickens and his heart stands still
take him through to the end when he sighs
and rests her gently on his warm thighs.

While the time comes to place her back
with all the others in the crowded rack
He will stop to remember all that he read
the joy and sorrow that linger in his head.

He will take her with him forever and dwell
in the glorious pages of her magic spell.
She walks through life like an unread book
A million words just waiting for a look.
