Leather-bound Doors

Imagine a door with no latch or knobs,
one you can take from the wall.
It's small, It's light, quite portable!
And it's there when 'ere you call
It opens at even the softest touch
inviting you into is't halls,
Vast oceans, and caverns, and castles,
Down the rabbit hole you fall.
You follow the king on his quest to restore
His kingdom; he gives it his all!
A knight fallen from grace, but through kindness,
He soon again stands tall.
And dragons in caverns, hidden away,
guarding treasures that will enthrall.
The fate of the world rests in tiny hands,
as "One ring rules them all".
So ride away on a broomstick
to a world they well conceal.
Or rocket away to new planets
that we hope to find are real.

And so this door will lead you
to any world you choose, just look!
For nothing is ever impossible when
in the pages of a good book.

Excellent!!

My fav. lines; "For nothing is ever impossible when
in the pages of a good book."

Yeah, everythin` is hidden in pages even the life itself holding the truth to its detours. Nice imagery!

[Kitalia Emme]

Thank you! I have an addiction to books, especially classics when I can get a good copy with quality binding, aged pages, and that wonderful smell...
Just thought I would share the feeling I get with everyone :)

[Wórdsmíth]

I`m too "passionate" `bout classic stuffs and I believe, classics art`s got the real value for words so do we... writers. And, your stuffs`re quiet deep like.. full of your "flowery" incense so, needless to say, the reflection of wisdom comes reflects through your fluffy heart alon` the side of your pieces you cook with the taste of creations. All the best and keep posting new writes. I`m sure .. would be looking forward to consuming you alias .. enjoying your stuffs with time ;)

Thank you! Your words mean so much to me. I have no intention of slowing down my writing (I may be a little absent for November due to NaNoWriMo)

[Confuser]

Read it again. I love it.

[Kitalia Emme]

I'm flattered!

I am a true bibliophile at heart myself so I completely understand what you mean by "For nothing is ever impossible when in the pages of a good book". I love the references to well-known novels in your poem

[Kitalia Emme]

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this one :)

[Confuser]

I loved it! I am very visual and it took me to this other world. A lot of emotion. Thank you.

[Kitalia Emme]

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

That's just brilliant, I felt I had entered the Tardis of Dr. Who accompanied by Alice and a knight in shining armour to the realms of Tolkien as Smaug guards his gold and Gollum fights against us (now joined by Bilbo Baggins) as we steal away with Sauron's ring of gold heading on a witches broomstick to Mordor which has somehow been transported to maybe Mars or Jupiter and all for the price of a good book, marvelous writing Kitalia, I love it :)

[Kitalia Emme]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you could see the message so clearly.

Books are, after all, tiny doors we keep in our pockets. They open to the universe and the soul. It was my love of books that lead me to want to grow up to be an adventurer and a writer.
I wanted to do all the things no one had ever tried so that I could write the best book that was ever written. :)

[R Smith]

now that's a book I want to read, I have a similar dream about a poem, maybe one day :)

[Kitalia Emme]

Our goal, my husband and I, is to trade all our things in, in five years time. We will get a boat and a small group of well trusted friends and live atop the water, learning the world in all it's glory and doing just that, all the things so one has done.

[R Smith]

sounds like an amazing idea, hope it works out for you :)
