as i read from books, i unknowingly rape the texture with the tips of my fingertips. drawing lines as my eyes plunge itself to every detail, encrypting sentences as they are coded emotions that were written from a genius observer.
may it be romance, adventure or just knowledge everything must be imagined and that's the charm of a printed book. the uneven texture of the beige printed pages became my contours. the musky smell of wood make me visualize of a dense forest with tall sky-scarring trees, thick but not packed. light shone from above giving room for the plants below to grow. as the battles tramples the bushes below, the flip of a page made me imagine that i'm on a hill top. under the shady tree, the only one that is there. the thin page now became another body that hugs my fingers perfectly.
as we age so does books. maybe that is why i can relate to them. Orange spots randomly appear and the pages became more brown as if they were pigmentation from an old man's skin. the older they are,the better.
now is it significant to say "dont judge a book by its cover?"
Exactly. No e-book could beat real books.
ReplyDeleteok this includes the 'rain' post.
I like the way you project things, how you see a simple thing, play it with your imagination and express it fantasy-like. How you make trivial things dream-like, like a ribbon manipulated to form movements. Way to go, brotha. I sense this holiday would be a field to enhance your creativity, apart from your pecs hahaha.
you have to mention the pecs to the world huh?haha
ReplyDeleteas if you don't like airing it out yourself. i'm just helping. haha.
ReplyDeleteSince the word "critic" is staring at me as I write this, I can only think that I am a guest judge of a reality tv show >:D haha.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean sky-scraping trees? eheh. And.... I kinda spotted many grammatical mistakes >_____< These massive amounts of details you write, seem to become a sorta style you're going with. It's cooool. It fits... well, you. But I didn't know how to relate the text with the last phrase "judging a book by its cover". It's quite a jump.
oh you see,im like judging the book from texture and many stuff,and the phrase "judging a book by its cover" its about being accepting whats the inside and not the out. and the text is what matters.so for example an e book,it have the same contents but i still prefer a printed one over the dots.soo can you see where am i goin to?its just a nerdy joke i like to make.haha
ReplyDeleteand i do mean scarring as the trees seems to scarr the sky with its branches became the vein of the sky.u get me?haha.oh grammar mistakes is my forte besides speling.haha.i dont learn how to write,just how to speak.haha
