What Books Smell Like

Books smell like 3 AM

When you're wide awake

For some unfinished project

With the stars and moon.


Books smell like the off-key song

By the campfire

With the crickets

Providing background music.


Books smell like the jokes

And puns

Born at the last bench

During some boring lecture

And

all those laughter held back.


Books smell like the ice-cream

And lemonade

With the sun burning

Above your head.


Books smell like the crackling fire

And a mug of hot cocoa

On a snowy evening.


Books smell like

Captain Nemo's journey,

Quasimodo's love,

d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis's friendship,

Luna's sanity

And

The flower Weena gave.
