Reservoir Of The Heart

 

~Deana J. Tavares

Everyday

She falls

In love

With beauty

Abolishing

Fear and hate

The heart

It swells

Contracts

Though she never

Locks

It’s gates

 

When reservoirs fill

With sadness

Love cannonballs

Into

Its depths

Splashing away

All moisture

Until

New tears

Are wept
