Golden Heart Poems By Lynn Barany In her hands she held it This heart of solid gold. She'd worn it everyday Even when she turned so old. Her wrinkled little hands Stroked the precious heart. She had loved the man who made it, Had loved him from the start. She should have been a beauty Just to be with him. Maybe his eyes were fading, With age they were growing dim. She looked into the mirror But quickly turned away. Where did all her youth go, When did her beauty fade? Again she stroked the precious heart And said a silent prayer. If I could have one wish, It would be that he still cares. With my naked body I come to you with love. Please don't turn away from me Because I'm no longer young. I still have the passion And come to you in the dark, With this chain around my neck Which holds my golden heart.

Hi, Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poets home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large. My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter. While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4 I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany. Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com Regards, Lynn Barany (Hanna)
