Why are you tearing apart
So easily
When you're the first in which
I've scribbled so much?
Is a little less than four years
Already tiring you?
Or is it my ink and graphite
That's too heavy
For your thin pages to hold?
The pages that could make
Any gel pen or highlighter
Bleed through.
The pages that are so thin,
I could see the ink of the
Next page, if I tried enough.
But is staying with me,
Staying intact, for a few more
Years, a little too much
To ask for?
Is your aging faster
Than mine?
Probably. Because what you
Hold inside is so deep
And so profound and so enchanting.
And may be every finger-touch
Robs off a little of your
Youthfulness.
That look you had
When I first saw you.
But still, dear Bible,
Is staying intact
For a few more years
A little too much
To ask for?

Wow - I was thinking something else at the beginning while reading but then when I saw the Bible - I was like oh wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to read such poems - I also had written a poem titled "Christianity in America" for high school that was moving too
Oh thabks Noel! Send me yours too :)
