The Bleak Corners Of My Heart Poem by Kevin Patrick Brown

In my heart there are many corners
cluttered with those cast off moment of life

This corner here, filled with dejection
That corner there, awash in desperation

But here and there, all scattered about,
A pocket of bliss, a lack of all doubt

In this space, shadows have roamed
trying, as always, to conquer the light

But delight always danced and powerfully swayed
the partner, elation, it pierced through the shade

At times, in my days, the shadows would win
But then, with great will, I summoned a grin

In my heart there are many corners
But the edges of margins they are filled with love

And in my heart, and all through the place
redemption is found and conquers with grace

Outside of my soul I see blindness and hate
and those foolishly telling my story of fate

In my heart there are many corners
But as time rolls on, my heart grow in space


There are those who look in
and see what they will
Their eyes are dim
and voices are shrill

In my heart there are many corners
If you come in, lift up the light
Cast off your armor
And push back the night


In my heart there are many places
So take my hand as we turn round this corner

We gaze In our souls, there lies masses of space
as always, my love, we long to embrace

And in this embrace the bleakness is gone
We wait hand in hand for the light of the dawn


In my heart there are many corners
In my heart your loves never hides

In our hearts we banish all pride
In our hearts, peace is inside
