The Book Shop

The first floor of the mall
When something caught my attention
That fragrance was known
The fragrance of what I cherish the most
Casually roaming around,
It so happened that I found my paradise
The comfort of the surroundings was such
I wouldn't have stepped in otherwise
Into the land of stories I got lost
Never Discovered again
That part of the book I was
They used to see me through the looking glass
But not a sound I made
This was my paradise
And this is where I lay
I spent hours in there
No hope of coming back
Their evil eyes stared at me
While looking at their faces I laughed
I wasn't stepping out of the book shop
And that was my promise at last
to my brain and my soul
though the owner lost his temper pretty fast
And you might have realized 
What the definition of fast is to me
Because if you are someone who loves to read

you know time passes in a jiffy
