A Love Poem for Books
(Poem from 3.6.21)
The privilege of sight is bestowed upon thee
Who can bring dance to words upon a sheet
Escape from the sadness which floods your heart
To mourn for those whose love is smart
To open yourself to a world anew
Becoming kings and queens of realities untrue
Reshaping your life with a fictitious worldview
Only to remember
But never to surrender
The real life version of you
