Library of my Heart

by gentlegirl

The library is cataloged
and all is kept in place
using every shelf
trying to save space

You enter realm of silence
no talking to be done
to browse books unencumbered
interest comes with some

One taken from the shelf
perhaps you like the cover
reading bits and pieces
no interest you discover

Moving to the next
you scour the outer look
liking what you see
you delve into the book

Mind hindered by a thought
of life and all untold
the secrets of the heart
begin to now unfold

A heart is like a library
full of different books
scan one here or read another
sometime by their looks

Some you think are funny
others not quite so
some too serious for you
some are much too slow

But then one day you open
to that very special place
and find the feelings flowing
filling that lonesome space

The months go by so quickly
the pages getting worn
while heart is soon to open
your sleeve it will adorn

Then someone sits beside  you
a glance without intent
you flush as it is noticed
and in his eyes a glint

You try to hide your blush
that quickly reddens face
quick to take your breath
as heart quickens pace

Ignore him is your plan
but heart won't let you go
with touch of hand he speaks
his voice so soft and low

Music your heart hears
your breath you have lost
The heart once on your sleeve
Is his no matter cost

The catalog of your heart
nothing now in order
you feel the life of one
his love your life's border

The library of your heart
no longer titles bear
as cataloged before
His book is only there
