The Magical World

This poem makes me proud to be a bookworm.

 

 

THIS MAGICAL WORLD

 

Lose Myself

Between the pages,

Been in this magical world

For ages.

 

Looking, touching,

Tasting, hearing,

For anything

That I should be fearing.

 

Surprises surround

Every turn,

Wonderful events

With new things to learn.

 

Characters full

Of charisma and sorrow,

Grief and hate

With hopes of tomorrow.

 

Stories of love,

Passion and grace,

With smiles of joy

That appear on each face.

 

Epic battles

Of magic and steel,

With clerics on the sidelines

Waiting to heal.

 

Flying around

On mighty dragons.

Or being transported

On plague victim wagons.

 

 

Swimming with mermaids,

Floating with faeries,

Digging with dwarves,

Surviving on berries.

 

Random adventures

To middle earth,

Or into wild country

To seek your worth.

 

Enemies and allies

Creating a truce,

And with a pinch of betrayal,

All hell breaks loose.

 

Challenging conficts

With greatly loved ones,

Siblings, spouses,

Fathers, sons.

 

Powerful displays

Of bravery and skill,

With many close calls

That can bring up a chill.

 

Unknown creatures

Lurking in the night,

Waiting to strike

Where there can be no light.

 

Friendship, love,

Happiness, hate,

Choosing which side

Determines your fate.

 

The secrets of prophecy

Leave your mind sore,

Make you wonder all day,

Triggering you to want more.

 

Romance, fighting,

Magic, mystery,

It can be anything

That you wish it to be.

 

Don’t be afraid

Unless you want it that way,

The book will consume you,

It is there you must stay.

 

Picture in your head

How you see the story

It’s all your opinion

You can take the glory.

 

Between the pages

Those looks on your face

The way they make you feel,

Your mind is filled with grace.

 

It’s not just some pages

Filled with thousands of words,

Only ever read by

Elders and nerds.

 

 

 

Whether you like the title

Or are caught on the hook,

It will always do you good,

To open a book and take a look.

wow... very acurate description of books. As I read this I couldn't help but smile. This is very well written and the rhymes were excellent. Though I felt in some stanzas the rythem was slightly off, this was still a great write. Keep writing!

Very nice, and long poem. A magical world indeed with epic battles, and stories of love. Keep up the good work, and also id probally shorten the ending. In the last few paragraphs it was kinda saying the same thing, over aand over again. However I thought the begining was the best, great poem Amber!
