Ana Espinola Collins Poet Free verse

Swollen Heart

A heart swells,
oozing with love,
having fulfilled, re-fulfilled
and over-fulfilled obligation.
But the mind now weakens 
from the weight of this swollen heart
and the pressure must be released 
before it explodes.
As they engage in battle;
mind versus heart,
one resists the power of love,
the other embraces balance 
and they become an intertwined braid of strength;
a natural phenomenon,
the one of harmony.

Paul Callus May 9, 2014 at 2:23 AM Love this poem! In life we have to take many important decisions (especially where love is concerned) and we have to keep a balance between mind and heart; if not heartache could follow. // paul Ana Espinola Collins May 9, 2014 at 6:58 AM Glad you liked it Paul and you're right, balance is everything :) Ana
