And... the list goes on
Oh,
I can’t describe what you are to me,
My dear books.
I wonder,
How turning your pages
Always leaves me mesmerized.
Whether it is the Choco world of Mr. Willi Wonka
Or the journey of Mr. Phileas Fogg around the world in 80 days.
Both left me with the urge to have
The ticket of Charlie and the determination like Mr. Fogg.
And….
Don’t you dare ask me my favourite book,
The toughest question of all….
Ahh….what should I answer!
The one which gives wings to my mind
Or the other which forces me to live where the mind doesn’t work.
Amidst these,
I have no right to forget –
Hermione Granger’s spells
And Antonia Scotts’s smartness.
Believe me, no man can avoid their charm.
If you want to learn how to be happy alone
No one can teach it better than Enola,
Who herself spells ‘alone’ backwards.
Ever dreamt of characters,
To breathe the same air as you,
To come out of the books,
And step into reality
Every bibliophile must have!
But can’t dream of it anymore,
Due to the terrific fate which Mo shared.
But still….and still
No book lover can be cured of the fever of books.
Because…it’s not hoarding if it’s books said Anonymous
