My hand grasps the cold metal and pulls on the golden door handle

Opening up a world of endless possibilities

It’s a magical place

Not like Disney nor space 

Where you can create limitless memories

One book at a time

Books big and small

Tiny and tall

Fill the walls

With colors that beckon you with a silent mesmerizing call 

Each individual section

Examples being Fantasy, Fable, Fairy Tale, and Fiction

Draw to your eyes longing for your attention

If you’re looking to make a tasty treat

The cookbook section is where you should meet

Brownies, Cupcakes, Cookies galore

All the recipes you would want and more

Bibliosmia

The smell is enchanting

As it floats off the pages your mind begins dancing

It draws you in and you want to buy more

And hoping its not yet time to walk out the door

It's quiet like a Library

Yet it’s still a store

While the serene silence is calming

The books you must pay for

While some prefer to read on their Nook

Nothing compares to the feel of a real paperback book

Turning each page as the story unfolds

You’re immersed in its world and it take its hold

Books can transcend you to many a time and place

Just one of the multiple reasons why the bookstore is my happy place
