Andrew Jacob Jung Poet Rhyme

My Library Muse

Back in nineteen ninety-two 
At the Piketown Library
I would haunt the upper stacks
And linger patiently
Soon the sun would set
I'd see her silhouette
This is how I came to know
Desire unmet

I'd watch her elvish fingers curl
'round the binding of some book
As she glided through the shelves
She'd dispatch a dev'lish look 
Such a playful ruse
To intrigue and confuse
This is how I came to know
My library muse

Now the sun has set 
We have never met 
This is how I came to know
The sting of regret
