my dream...of books

my mind 
my eyes 
eating the words of each page 
indulging the story 
piece by piece 
word by word 
my hands gripping the binded page 
scanning 
enjoying its sorrow and joy filled pages 
wishing 
that my life was that silly tale in my book 
wishing that one day 
i could have a happy ending too 
but that will have to wait until 
i finish my last book 
the last book of my life 
to savor my memories 
and walk off to eternity 
with these silly lifeless tales 
embeded inside my head
