The Eclipsed Bookworm
A poetic duo: When our fantasy worlds start to overshadow reality
High Expectations
Expectations overshadow what
could be if I broke free from what I imagine
love might be.
I apologize to all in the shadow of this bookworm's fantasy.
Perhaps I need to start prioritizing what I truly need,
so the love of my life doesn't pass me by because he was
eclipsed by a bookworm's fantasy.

Sunglasses
Escaping reality in the world
created in these pages used to be the sun of my
life. Now it has become the moon blocking me from the
illumination I wish to be standing in.
Please let me free, but stay close by in case I need a little
shade from the blinding light of reality.
Escape should be sunglasses, not permanent darkness.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW

Memory's Garden.
In the garden of our minds, Where memories bloom and wind, There lies a flower, deep and true, A memory, both joy and rue. Sometimes it sings with joy's sweet tune, A cherished moment 'neath the moon. But sometimes, oh, it brings such pain, Like clouds that hide the sunny reign.
