Golden Moments
When books were my only friends,
my only confidants,
I sat at my desk for hours,
collecting pearls of all the colors.
Pink pearls were fascinating
Invisible within the words,
they bled all night
Lending their hues to the paper.
Behind the blinds,
in the streets, dusk dwelled for a while,
Giggled with the glow worms,
merged into darkness.
Captivated by the words
I sat, sipping my mocha
sweeter than the stories of eons,
Oblivious of night fairies that beckoned.
Languages bowed before me
I savored their flavors
Those were the golden moments
When history spoke to me.
