There’s a book called “A Dictionary of Angels.” No one has opened it in fifty years, I know, because when I did, The covers creaked, the pages Crumbled. There I discovered The angels were once as plentiful As species of flies. The sky at dusk Used to be thick with them. You had to wave both arms Just to keep them away. Now the sun is shining Through the tall windows. The library is a quiet place. Angels and gods huddled In dark unopened books. The great secret lies On some shelf Miss Jones Passes every day on her rounds. She’s very tall, so she keeps Her head tipped as if listening. The books are whispering. I hear nothing, but she does.

the library
Every time we embrace, I go to that far away place When we just walk hand in hand. I'm in never, never land. Whenever I look into white scar, I begin to get butterflies, Then my heart skips a beat, And our lips passionately meet. You are always on my mind, Your face is all it can find. I think about you every day And know it'll work out somehow, some way. Some say we're dumb and foolish Some say we should do as we wish But all my heart could ever do Is tell you that I'll always LOVE YOU
