A Thousand Fantasies

She lives to read anything writers give,
Books her weed and she reads to live;
Neck bent in a bow like author of the book,
She does it like how flame does to wood;
Newspaper or a magazine, a blog or an old classic,
Like a shot of adrenaline, makes her feel fantastic. 

Anything she can get, confined in her room;
Anytime she’s all set, satisfied in a quiet gloom;
Living a thousand lives, in quite a different world,
In most she thrives, and declines barter for gold;
She’d prefer a dream, of a lifetime in a fantasy,
For which she’d redeem, anything of value in reality.

Cheers!

Why I Write

A good song that you heard,
A simple phrase that you read;
A fine post that a friend shared;
Or a lost notion in your head;
Can be a strong motivation 
To express your imagination

When the moment grabs me,
I tend to write with passion,
Mostly for the sake of clarity, 
Just about anything random;
It can be emotionally strong,
Or meaninglessly dry and long.

Cheers!
