Theres the Librarian

You have my eyes but not my heart
This part of my life you play this part
The vision of loveliness that I call art
The part of my happiness beginning to start

With you my emotions are held high
My attitude of excitement  can reach the sky
A smile inside me and open sigh
All because of the beauty close near by

Your smile is a sunrise a perfect day
I long to see this precious maid
My swing does reach it’s perfect sway
Back and forth without delay 

This pleasure in which I find myself
Comes with a joy kept on my shelf
I like the cards I dealt myself 
looking at you and nothing else

For a few stolen moments I play pretend
And love you with a love without end
Longing to hold you without it being sin
Hiding what might be a smile or a grin

Oh how I wish that I were a god
And with powers I’d favor my winning odds
Win you, your arms, your laying down
And wear you like you were my crown

You have my eyes but not my heart
The part of life I wish would start
But the end of day bids us depart
And  certain satisfaction fills my cart
