Poem: 'That Which Was My Heart' by Ilona Toth


   That which was my Heart

   in brighter days filled with joy
   and careless reverie;
   I possessed a pump divine 
   full of love and giving;

   as years went on the search to share
   the joy and love combined
   encountered false and bitter hearts
   no love yet, to call mine

   each encounter left a mark,
   a scar and bitter taste
   opening to risk  again.
   only to retreat in painful haste.

   to find that mutual feeling
   yet again,.. does not exist.
   the confidence and belief;
   took the full brunt of the hit.

   the years spent un'nourished;
   uncherished, and alone;
   the desire to be held and loved;
   a dream , now long gone;

    The dry and biting winds of time
   and the endless lonely tears;
   they result; severe erosion;
   and a demise very near.

   so now the days are marking
   the crumbling and decay,
   and soon the winds of time
   will scatter to oblivion

   the dust that was my heart.
