In willful protection of the passion love inspires
when memory like the sky hangs silently alive
the reservoir of feeling only a woman owns
stretches and enlarges to full capacity.  

From this store the dribble of frustrated hopes
and the leak of dreams not yet manifest
until a red, red rose in the garden of soul  
speaks of an easy bleed from the ill at ease.

Sharpened insight to the start of spirit life
and a slide over skin the way a sinner goes
like automatic replay in a conscious mind  
to the drip of droplets from this reservoir.

Mindful every day of hope’s splash and dash
and aware of no reserve to sustain the flow
the reservoir of soul prepares to decompose  
silently and stealthily behind the obvious.  

In willful protection the body knows to grow
but it cannot stop the soul from rotting down below!

How well you say it, Helen.  But, I am hoping that the soul doesn't rot....I think it reaches a point where it just takes a break.  Maybe it is the "passion" part that rots.  I really liked your thoughts and the title is perfect.

I really do know where you are coming from, tho'.   ....jo
