Senses Awakened

Madrugada sing "Quite emotional now"

in whispers that sound continual,

and my senses are awakened

within my post-reading ritual.

..

My body yearns toward you,

as I hold you in my hands

after an hour that I spent

tiptoeing on your papery lands.

..

Nostrils in euphoria

as I inhale the volatile compounds

that your materials release;

wonderful breathing rounds.

..

Fingertips on your "skin".

I slowly close my eyes

to fully immerse into the experience

as the reading cycle "dies".

..

You have nothing to fear,

when it comes to your e-antagonist.

E-books have their value, but

they'll never be my reading protagonist.

..

The words alone are not enough.

Reading is a wider experience.

More sides of me need to participate,

away from the limitations of the glass fence.

If you swim in Instagram's ocean, you'll find me somewhere here, on a raft like the one Odysseus had.
