The Fragrance of Fiction

The most intoxicating smell in the world

Fresh, new sheets.
The fragrance of fiction.
Promises of excitement,
new adventures
Love
Pain
Regrets of those
left hanging
always dangling from
the cliffs of imagination...

I curl up alone
with the unmistakable
aroma
of a new book.
