girls don't stay little
forever
and time doesn't come
back
and my love is not a library book
you can return when
you're done with it
or when you start reading it
and you don't like the words inside

this patron
no longer exsists

well this is news
to me

i just returned some
overdue books

and wish to borrow more

but nope, not me
I no longer exsist

that must mean
I need not buy
those lambshanks
for tea

Not pay those bills
teeter tottering  on
the verge of overedue

no need to be pleasent
to any one, especially
not you

Rude lady, new
to the system
who has coldly
informed me
of my demise

Who states with
disinterest and haught
in her spectacled eyes
You must not have
borrowed for
the past three years
You no longer exsist
this she did insist
even as I pointed out
I had returned books
only three days overdue
Even as other librarians
stopped to chat, knowing
my name, recommending
new books, telling me gossip
about this and that....

This patron does not exsist
it cannot be true, it is not a glitch
this patron is a patron
through and through
I left them to figure out
the mystery, I did not pout
or get out of sorts and a little blue
I said I would come back Monday
that is if over the weekend
I do not simply fade away
I love how my eyes dance as they do
Especially when they see you
Think about being together
Loving each other forever
For eternity hand in hand
Love me tonight, you’ll understand

I’ll be spring if you feel winter
I’m your sweet when you feel bitter
Springtime colours, they pass us by
So beautiful it makes you cry
When spring comes walk through the flowers
Two souls as one for hours and hours

Fair-weather minds need the sunshine
True hearts show you are really mine
Deep inside your heart is a voice
It speaks words of truth, not by choice
You won’t want to think of the rest
When you have been loved by the best

It has really been such a long, long while
It really feels so good to smile
Keeping each other satisfied
Together laying side by side
As delicate as our love grows
Some people say love is a rose

How far does the universe go?
It is infinite; you should know
A higher power healed our scars
Our love is endless, as the stars
To put it all into some context
I’m here for this life and the next

We were strangers among the stampeding crowd,
But fate has played us along;
As our heartbeat synchronizes out loud,
Singing the story of a broken song.

Our sun shines in the East,
but never dwindle on the West-
this strange feeling of bliss,
drifting in the chamber of my chest.

Daffodils dance in the scorching daylight,
As the breeze blows gently-
Oblivious to the inevitable flight,
Of an encumbering drizzly night.

Aurora borealis perforates the lone darkness,
Swirling in the starless sky of the North-
The way you eliminated my sadness,
And brings me comfort and madness.

The river cascading in an endless stream,
Splashing a cold brackish water-
These tears of misery and grim,
I will forever endure in my dream.

The moon is high as the tower,
The night as silent as the elm street-
Misery has once again devour,
the little joy turns bittersweet and sour.

I love and love and love unconditionally,
But the pain is searing unbearably;
I looked at the stars and heaven,
And realized we were strangers again.
If you are willing to invest in love, then be prepared to be hurt and forgotten. Remember, investment comes not without risks.
