Caverns of the Heart

Cracked crevasses miles deep Explode in thundering booms as they spread into hollow and empty rooms Replacing the chambers of a bursting heart with desolate echoing caverns Splitting what remains apart unraveling the fabric of our life at the seams We are carved by an unforgiving river fed by frigid tears and scissor-like streams Pulverized into a frozen slush of memories Suspended in our regrets and fears we are trapped and abandoned In an endless flow of irretrievable years © Cornelia Mattioli aka Flying Angel 2015
