Books

Pages light up with the glow of memories
then darken with cruel reality.
Time travels through the covers,
rediscovering enchanting tales of the past,
imagining the beauty of what’s to come.
Walls crumble under the power of imagination,
creatures rule the land
as wonders search the sky.
Tea lights brighten the loneliest homes
whilst fear encases the largest households.
Thoughts of villains scrawl across the paper.
Authors delve into crimes of the most sinister offenders.
The brutality of man beats the pages,
the innocence of victims shines in contrast.
The scent of flowers dampens the page.
Friendships strengthen as romances wane.
Speeches are made whilst rhymes joke,
languages mingle as words embrace.
Jealous readers devour a new reality
in the pages of written art.
