‘By hook or by crook’

I delight in all I choose to read
Whilst I nourish my soul I overfeed 
Visualising from amidst my mind
My flight of fancy is flawlessly primed

Vivid visions so powerfully real
I am accomplishing the action
I see, smell & feel
I am the heroine, the character I desire
I lust for adventure
My spirit is onfire

I am a princess with a golden crown
My gallant prince wears a red velvet gown
He alights from his white stallion with poise & grace
My handsome prince with a beautiful face

“Arise my fine gentleman” as he bows down at my knee
“Let us hasten together, we shall roam the land free”
We mount his fine saddle upon his white horse
As I finish my chapter
Page turns matter of course

My imagination is performed & played out
I adored this narration
Totally spellbound throughout
I skim, translate, bury my head in a book
I yearn only to finish it hook or by crook
