May I request a room <br />inside your heart, perhaps out back, <br />A closet with a broom <br />would be just fine, you see, the lack <br />of fancy things <br />like fixtures, special light <br />or furniture or angel wings <br />and linen oh so bright <br />does not disturb at all, <br />a cot will do quite well <br />small bathroom down the hall. <br />A pillow would be great <br />a lamp perhaps to read <br />those nights I stay up late <br />so, I would like to plead <br />one room, a jug of gin <br />your heart, so do I dare? <br />Your boarder, deep within <br />a bed, for you to share.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-your-heart-3/
