Within the Cover

Spell bound itch
To write words
Unwritten magic
In graceful twirls
And reluctant hooks

But caught, sealed
From the freedom of flow
Until the swiftly forming, 
Fantasy finally sprouts
Wings and takes flight

Unraveling the sheets
Magic cast in curled forms
But only the reader
With a vast imagination
can truly open the door

The door written, cast
Upon the covers and 
Throughout the tome
That will guide someone 
Into a land of unknown

To a land visioned
By the creator
To people and creatures
That dwell within 
The covers of a book
