A Book Which Is Not a Movie

No matter how much they tried
No matter how many voice effects
How many sound tracks 
How many heart and soul they put in their work 
It will never
It can’t be
They won’t be able to perform 
To act
To visualize the images the author has drew
Into the reader’s mind
The affections, the feelings
The author sent to the reader’s heart
To the reader’s mind, heart and soul 
A book is a combination of letters
Written for a reason 
A reader is a combination of ideas
Thought about 
A book which is not a movie 
Can express what is more than images
What is softer than music
What is exciter than tales
A book which is not a movie 
Has the power to attract
The rope to pull 
The reader closer 
To what is in the next chapter…
