The Adventurer's Heart

Hush! Her creased, angry lips say
Pursed in a puckered, knowledgeable way
You grin and delve deep inside
The adventure of reading that helps you hide

The real world fades as the story proceeds
To fill your deep, insatiable needs
A sick delight swells up so strong
You are a pirate who can do no wrong

Pillage and ravage, claiming what's lost
Climb the ropes with no care of cost
Traverse on seas so wide and fair
Revel in the beauty awaiting you there

Then shut the book ending the song
A library closing seems so wrong
But tomorrow you will wake in a purposeful start
Roaming until a book mirrors your heart
