Old vs New

Old books.......
seldom jog in the mind
only in touch sometimes
the interesting ones
arranged in the shelves
the dull ones
invisible to the naked eyes
placed in a box tightly sealed
one day.......
when the thought comes
the shelves are touched
the box is unsealed
then comes......the
new books.......
visible to the naked eyes
always jog in the mind
in touch all the times
placed close to the heart.
old friends......
new friends......

  3. Nice poem Venus. Books are truly very good companions. And a book read long ago can comeback and give us a very fresh feel.

  4. Good one, Venus!
    many a time felt a relative perpective between books and friends...
    books or friends; old or new -- that which comforts the mind is always sought after..
