Inner Struggle

How resilient is the human heart?

It can break into a thousand pieces

But with the passage of time

Without a doubt

Riddles are answered

And puzzles are solved.

If memories were grains of sand

Kept within each crevice

The heart would overflow

In emotions powerful,

Often barely contained

Always overwhelming,

But still it beats

Steady and strong,

Never fading

With each painful flow,

Never faltering

Though the body wishes so.

If tears were kisses of destiny

Then I have been loved by fate,

It cleanses, washes away the longing

Infinitely binds the tattered soul

Makes me float forever

In this turbulent ocean of my being

Until I struggle no more.
