The Burning Book
As I open my magical book
I have to read really quickly
As I read each page
The words do burn
This amazing story book will burn away
I feel the golden heat
As I turn over each page
My fingers almost get scorched
I must read my page
I am scared I will not read all this beautiful story
Only one book
When I read a wondrous word
It literally burns
The crisp white pages turn into singed black paper
The golden fire burns
I must read these fantastic words
Before this magical, once only read
This burning book disintegrates
As I turn each page
It burns
Turns into charcoal dust
Read this book I must
Yet, I’m addicted to this read
As I turn the last page
The book disintegrates with such grace
I have read this amazing story
As the book burns away
The story stays with me
A story I can never repeat
The storybook no one else can ever read
