Polluted Heart

POLLUTED HEART
Thirsty soil parches in scorching summer Sucks liquid crystal drops of sparkling rain Stores in deep aquifer pure groundwater Brought to surface, pure it doesn’t remain From humans contaminants it obtains. Lone heart freezes in the dark of winter Blooms in joy when colors of spring enter Weaves tapestry of pristine love within Abused by black mist of lust it welters In polluted heart love stops to flow clean.
