I want a bookshelf when I'm older
Peculiar I know...
But just imagine
I don't want one of those new gen
Crystal clear, sparkling white bookshelves
No, I want one of those old, dusty
Dark oak bookshelves brimming with character
A bookshelf representing the thousands of stories it holds
A bookshelf that collects dust and cobwebs
A bookshelf that when decades have past
And I am no more, others would look at it simply enchanted
A bookshelf people write about in old novels
A bookshelf that through storm and rain
Through years and decades of aging remains intact
Just imagine...
A bookshelf that you could make your own
With books ranging from Fiction to Documentations
From books that make your emotions rage
To books that makes everything stop, sits you down and makes you think about the words' actual meaning
I want my bookshelf to enchant me
To make me bubble with anticipation as I approach a new book
I want a bookshelf straight from books themselves
Scribbled with initials, and cracks from time
I want my bookshelf to look like it was crafted from the tree of time itself
And moulded by the words of philosophers and dreamers
I want a bookshelf when I'm older
My bookshelf, should especially contain...
The stories I write myself
