A Withered Heart From Whither my heart lies within its dreams of nights of enchantments and days of romancing From Whither my heart dreams lie within a world of cozy hopings that into the night lost upon the rising moon And withered, my heart lies broken and shattered as a mirror on superstition and the moon fades into dusk The sun rises, and my heart lies torn in a myriad of ill shapened pieces within the pain of long lost love and schemes and unrealistic dreams From withered my heart shall grow a strength to brush myself off into life's precious days of which I sow Yet, growing fewer as they pass on And I shout to the skies leave my heart be, for I only have one to give and that one was not free Then in a haze of misty eyed days he walked in like a cozy fire and cast upon me to trust again and I laid my heart at his desire Trusting upon him like a loyal dog my eyes full of hope and I left the shattered one behind upon my breast And now from withered my heart I lay my throbbing pain Risking a new start Repaired and untouched by that long lost lover Teresa King www.tipsfortop.com |

Lovely poetry yet again, the way you write is truly great, and all your poetry is so deep and honest and meaningful . With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |
