On and on they go
Lined on shelves dauntingly high
Or Child-level low
Artful as featured works in museums

We congregate with hushed voices in examination
Yet we can touch them
We are invited to
We can reach out and remove a piece of history

From the ancient days of scrolls
To the modern pages
We pull them from their places
To discover the wonders within

Sharing in the joy that emanates
From the joining of imaginations
A connection so powerful
It unites the hearts of strangers

We lose ourselves for hours
In our favorite chapters
With our beloved characters
Whom we come to love as precious friends

Reading ignites the imaginative powers of the self
And it all begins by pulling a book off of a shelf

Free now from your books, you
walk the path behind the halls
where a bird completes her
pirouette
and descends onto a branch
shaking its flowers. Petals
are released!
and float down in
increments-
Lowering, degree by
degree in a swaying motion
against the gentle pushing-back
of spring air

They land in a pond.

Till you can’t walk
Till you are sore,
Yet still smiling
from the thrilling experience,
Till you are sweating pleasure
from every pore.
Till your breath murmurs
my first name with every inhale
Till my voice is the only sound
your ears need to hear.

i would
rest my head on your breast
and listen
Enjoy the sweet tunes composed by
every noted word you harmonize

Tales of your life stories before they became entwined with mine
Narratives about your dreams
About who breaks your glassy heart
And what tickles your eye-ducts
into opening a flood of tears.

an inner world of wishes
she deserves beautiful things,
The Nubian Queen,
Sunflower Child.

Tik- tok
Have nobody to talk to
Getting boring maybe you  took a walk
Pondering around
No, sound

Not till you saw the white rabbit
Jump into a hole yeah, it got you attracted
Yeah, made the way to sneak what was in it

Fell on the hole
Where it was new whole
World

Heard you were missing so, there goes a same rabbit
Got the same habit
I jumped in the hole
Had no time pull
The rabbit is the one to who in charge

Now we gotta march
If we don't want to stay forever in this place
Yeah, we gotta face
All this empty case

Yeah, we found wonderland
Yet, got lost in it
Because we both fell in it
Where flowers will always pop up

Eh, this seems puzzling
While the wind keeps whistling
Fallen between the cracks
Can't relax
Knowing that you are missing in this wonderland

Dark clouds
Forming crowns
Yet, wrapping me around towels
It's s been hours
Since you have been dissolved
Maybe I should go back to the top
In see of you are there to be found

I reached for you but you were gone
I knew I had to go back home
We found another world
Again we fell in the hole
