A Broken Sonnet

There is a space inside the Heart

A hollow bit with walls and room

To let in more than we assume

Could even ever fit there...

 

It stretches out and it expands

To fit the open hands and minds

Of lonely strangers and old friends...

It's such a lovely spot.

 

We should, I think, keep broom at hand

And Spring-Clean every once or twice

To make it nice and comfy soft

For visitors who stop here.

 

And even maybe sweep the steps

And offer up a sugar bowl

With creme and comfort and a spoon

Next' to the coffee ***

 

There is a space inside the Heart

A little nitch (with room to spare)

I often find my self in there

Just waiting for a visit.

 

So come on in with Saint or Sin

(The Open Heart cannot define

The difference of the two)

 

The coffee's warm

and so's the beer...

I'll leave a light for you.
