Let’s talk about books

Coming up with ideas to write about is tough, I confess

I draw from news articles and my own experiences to process

My thoughts into words, but some days I do not find

Anything powerful enough to resonate with my mind

So I fall back to my first love in life- books, of course

To talk about which myself I never have to force..

I read books of most genres, I have read

Thousands of books, my faculties have been fed

On a rich and varied diet of fiction and non-fiction

To read, for me, is almost an addiction

When I think and write, the voices in my head

Are an amalgamation of the powerful words I have read

When I read, part of the author’s voice I imbibe

I conjure up scenes that their words have described

Each book I read becomes a part of my consciousness

The printed word has the ability to indelibly impress

Upon my brain what it wants to convey

Therefore my fascination with books shall never go away
