Beauty In The Pages Of A Book


I seem to get lost in this world and find a world filled by words|

conjoined to form an image|

An adventure in a landscape far away|

Where I escape this land to navigate a page|

From morning 'till dusk and not a sound escapes these lips|

In this barren land created by another for me to explore|

The loneliness I struggle with in my life gets pushed back|

As I play the role of the protagonist and the diminutive backdrop|

In sagas of life without rules|

A moment of flips and stagnant gazes|

As we relive our memories against the backdrop of these pages|

Let this curiosity and anticipation for the future never depart|

Fighting to close a chapter|

I am left with three words to prolong the hope for this moment to never lose its course|

An awakening to secrets once left in between a shelf in the up-most layer is reached|

To behold the cryptics of a life once left out in cold|

And held bound|

Now forgotten in dust|

Hidden in the darkness of exclusion|

Somewhere the composer is once again revived|

Then shown the door as the transition from necessity to luxury takes a hold|

And a sapling heart becomes digital|

The feel|

The grasp|

You once recited over now fingertips slide over|

And batteries become the new life supporter|

  1. I love the world created by words in a book, and here in your words it is easy to be inside another world that you have written. :)

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

Spoken Word

A word once spoke is only heard through an opening in a cracked wall| Shrunk in the balance| Within strings moving from the wind's hold| Escaping push| Reinforced from strength of vibrations from a secluded silence|
