The Heart's Waterfall

Tears flow from sounds of sorrow unheard A lonely heart enclosed in deep despair Haunted by whispers from night ghosts heard A voyage into darkness, an empty stare Emptiness measured by flow of tears That springs from love once believed Etches the face through passing years To wear as a scar, a life conceived The welling up of a heart cries alone Captured by shadows that can never be Wishes and dreams a memory to own Will never blossom for eyes to see contest Three Stanzas-Three Only 7/27/16

Very nicely expressed, well done. Loved the title, magnifies grief if tears are a waterfall, great imagery.
