Opening a book

Is like opening a portal

Stepping onto a stage

Blink for just a second

And you’ll see

Enraptured

Captured

In this world of words

Where I take rest in

My comfort is taken

As I pull away from it

A comforting world of magic and chivalry

Like my own private adventure

An island of paradise

Compared to daily life

My entire existence

Dependent on this relief from strife

These cold pages hold warmth for my soul

As regular life takes its toll

I know I can find my escape

In these pages
