My life surrounds me
in disarray
it seems,
in big dreams,
in high adventure,
fantasies & histories,
the scribblings of poets,
the words of scholars,
the writings of common people,
and the wisdom of sages.

Pages & pages of diatribe,
configurations told in
stories from the soul,
bleeding hearts,
fancy covers and some not so,
but as real,
as different
from the next true fable,
straight from
the same universe.

And if you really want to know me,
if you even care,
gander at my collection,
take a quick peek,
stay awhile &
read what's on my shelves.

And just so you know,
I really would like to know
what's on yours,
truly
I would.
