Find me, forget you

Find me where the papers thin as these sweet n sour bones, yet scripted as plenty then all the worlds woes, as I plunder the stories stocked to the highs and lows, as I plunge deeper fighting imaginary foes,

Find me where the folklore goes or the mythology section how tales are spun upon rows and rows, even crime and romance can sit me down as they like to go toe to toe, in pop's words "jolly good show",

Find me where history is written continuously till the days of old, sprawled out on plump cushion chairs quite furnished, once birch and cold, I'd forsaken these sacred scrolls as I were only rash and bold,

Find me where seas of knowledge sprinkle spring from books, four seasons experienced not through a screen nor chalk, once living, still living, in our dreams and outlooks, trails by blazers linger between pristine covers

Find me where we said we'd met, no not at the 'met', my dancing nights are over till I feel I'm good enough, well and kept, maybe it would have been different In another setting I regret, reclused in the library, by the bending lake, there I'm forced to forget.
