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 of 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 ~netswan |

Oh so emotional! It is truly a gift to find a new love after the heart has been broken. Great poem! |
