In A Corner Of My Heart Poem by Lora Colon
In A Corner Of My Heart
In a corner of my heart there dwells a pain
That thoughts of you awaken each day;
Purposely, I provoke it, then sigh in vain,
Knowing there will be a price to pay
In a corner of my heart there is a poem,
Born of each kiss and each solemn vow;
Loving you as I did they could fill a tome -
But poems your love inspired mock me now
What good is love if the happiness it brings
Turns into a pageantry of pain,
And the song of love the heart blissfully sings
Becomes parting's sorrowful refrain?
Without love, no comfort waits at end of day,
Just memories, unwilling to depart;
(Was it wrong to keep one flower from love's bouquet,
Hidden in a corner of my heart?)
In a corner of my heart my expressions
Of true and faithful love sit and cry;
Unable to absorb the transgressions
Your love brought, they're mute, without reply
So many tears have fallen, forging this chain
That won't permit memories to depart,
And I can find no way to suppress the pain
Now filling each corner of my heart
Love is never without pain, but your poems usually juxtapose love and pain beautifully. Please write your biography in prose. I want to know the woman behind this poetess.
Quench Your Thirst With A Few Pints Though it only be but one, cast off that damaging flower, for it shall NEVER bring you into Love's fragrant bower. Instead, head for the nearest all night bar in your town, and in a tall one** perhaps your love you can drown. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ** i at first thought tall glass of beer, but it could be a tall sailor, soldier, mail carrier... ; well, you get the idea, right? bri :)

Does pain strengthen love? Beautify it? Glorify it? I think the answer to each question is yes. Pain and poetry are complementary too. 10/10 for this poem and it goes to 'MypoemList'.
