Hi dear friends,
Today in Romance and Love Celebration I am overjoyed to host Emma Scott!
You all know she is one of my unicorn authors and I still have to read one of her books that did not touch me deeply. That woman has a bright soul and is a modern warrior. She has an enormous strength and an even more enormous love.
I have met Emma and I can tell you that she cares deeply for others. She loves meeting her readers and will always give and give and give.
Today she chose to share a beautiful and tender poem with us.
There is a light on in the next room
The fire, and you beside it
Curled
Blowing the steam from the teacup
Before a sip.
The soft page turning
Of the book
that you are living in
For a little while, anyway
I want step inside,
Break the spell
watch your eyes lift to me
As you fall out of the bookβs world
Back into mine,
Your smile sweet
and tasting of mint
when I kiss youβ¦
But I donβt move.
I watch instead the
Porcelain perfection
Of your hand as it reaches
For the cup
With the painted pink flowers
delicate
Like the fingersΒ
That turn the page,
A soft susurration,
a gasp of breath
In that moment when the author
Surprises you and holds
You more tightly
I let the book keep you
Β a little longer
and go to bed to wait
for you
to emerge from that cocoon
to another: my arms
that will hold you
until the dawn is
the light in the next room.
I wait
for those fingers that turned the page
to turn down the sheets,
your minty lips
to kiss my skin,
until the world you are now lost in
is that of
you
and
me
Emma’s bio
I write romances with flawed characters, characters with artistic hearts: builders, poets, and writers of various makes and models. I love to write book lovers; those who have found refuge, companionship, and escape in books, much as we do in real life. I like realism, honesty, authenticity in storytelling. I love to write about enduring love, soul-deep love, in as real a setting as I can make, but with big smooshy HEAs. I believe in diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusion. I like sweetness mixed with steam, love conquering all, and above all, hope. Love always wins. |
