Latte Junkie: Lyrical Sunday

Sunday, 24 June 2012

Within the pages

Within the pages, I have lived
Many lives that Fate denied.
A damsel, dragon, witch,
A hunter, thief, girl-on-fire.

Castaway, lived in a tree,

Castle, mansion and slums.

I have hidden in cupboards and towers

And boarded in schools of paper,

I have died a hundred deaths, witnessed more,

Was reborn into as many new,as I could read.

Within the pages, I have learnt

About my life, and those of others

who have joined me as we walked

within the novels I have travelled.

Fabulous poem and you totally sum up the wonderful escapism that literature gives us.
