Come in if you dare
Here lay I,
Upon this overreaching cliff,
Nothing but blood and bone within
Deep abandonment.
Take heed of my warning:
Search willfully
For I betray none
And offer no secrets.
Disfigure, curse, plunder,
I care not.
My only need
Is the comforting smell of
Old books and the words within them.
The touch of soft leather covers,
The smooth worn pages,
Warmth of a childhood long gone.
Come in if you dare
I offer none,
But Wisdom.
