Within the Pages

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled, "This could change your life." ~Helen Exley

For I was once held captive

Bounded by life’s harsh realities

But escaped through book’s mighty magic

 

As I take a glimpse on its pages

Every word gushes through my soul

Wanders my mind into a limitless world

 

Where I can vanquish the impossible

Where time is just a number

Where Earth is just a wee matter

 

Driven into the auspices of fantasy

Swirled by varying chain of events

Bewitched by infallible touch of thoughts

 

Indeed, books are magical volumes

'Tis an exquisite mindsetter

And a rigorous life-changer...

Author's Note

This is inspired by Stephen King's quote,"Books are a uniquely portable magic."
I totally agree with that. :)
I made this just to reshuffle my thoughts.
Hope you'll like it! :D

It's nice to escape into a book and bring imagination alive....

I really love this, and I totally agree. When you read a good book it can transport you into a different world, and you can let all your problems slip away for just a little while.
