Her river runs deep

Weathered on the surface, love

Heavy the terrain 

Of ex lovers, past

Etched deep on her heart.

Below the surface, hot

Deep crevasses, large;

Life, love, still strong, beats.

Hidden from view.

Her river of love, deep

Meanders through gorges,

Canyons, eroding the doubts

Of lover's spent.

A heart slowly recovers.

Her cliffs of isolation, pain

Reminders of love;

Fossils of lover's past

With her tears now,

Crystallised deposits;

Embedded in heart, walls.

Moistened by waves

Of emotions, tears

Lapping her shores

Of her heart, soft.

Lovers, lasting memories

Through time, journeys;

Hers, remain still deep .

Embedded, while her

River of love runs strong.

Forever more, believing...

This is the most profound piece I have seen of yours Andrew. It is one I can relate to as my last ex and I still long for one another!

Thank you John I tried to impose the geographics of the grand Canyon onto a heart that has had many loves
