Paper Planes


If the world was just a room,

 if I were only a paper plane.

I would have flown across the world a hundred times. 

To take landfall in a different location every time,

 never the same exact place again.

I could land on the Rainbow Mountains of Peru, 

or the Sam Musi Tsai 

Beach of Hong Kong. But if I were to land on a body of water,

 what a waste I would have been. 

Landing on a place that has yet to be discovered will be a challenge

And an unearthing experience. 

If only it was that easy just to take off, 

Without fear and worry,

 without the care of political issues and traveling expenses.

Never looking back.

 Only looking forward.

 See something new everyday. 

If the world was just a room,

 if I were only a paper plane.

I am a lover of heart breaking, dried tears on the pages type of poetry. On the other hand, I won’t hesitate to throw a book across the room if the main character dies in one of my fantasy books. I’m a reader of romance, WW2 nonfiction, and fantasy. I hope my writing takes me to a path I dream of walking on.
