Heart Without a Home

When dreams are just an enigma And hopes and desires turn to dust When you lonely heart only wanted love But all others wanted from you Was lust. When you feel the walls close in around you And there's no place left to run You live your life in limbo and darkness In a war that can't be won. So I had everything But everything was still not enough You dwell in the stench of the gutter Ready to give up. For love was always for others And not for the likes of me My face maybe smiling But there's so much more inside You do not see. The really sad thing is I could really make someone happy Beyond their wildest dreams Money and riches mean little When you heart bursts with pain And you burst at the seems. And so I may as well face the painful truth I am destined to die alone Lets hope it's sooner than later My heart will never find home. Peter Dome.Copyright.2015.May.

Hi Pete...touching but remember a heart has four chambers and hums like a bus, a heart resides inside another chamber, that lies within us...rgds, 7habang

It seems as though you have a bit of a sad soul. I think most of us poets have experienced a lot of emotional torment. That is, perhaps, what makes us so gifted at what we do. Although it may not pay the bills, I believe that it was our calling to share beautiful poems such as this. It helps others to understand that they are not alone. Most of my poems are about suffering. That is what I can relate to the most. That is what I have the most feeling and passion for. P.s. There IS someone.

I love this poetry and think that you are one among the few who can get inside our hearts. If I had one wish here. it would be that you consider your avatar...as it's hard to find feelings when faced with what appears to be King Kong...Hope I haven't upset you...was not my intent....

Thank you Anne Lise beauty is everything over here, a lot of women and girls are so shallow. they call is dogs if we don't measure up to their high standards. but take their make up off. their as ugly as sin. I couldn't be nicer, but being nice seems to be throwned upon today. women seem to be after money and sex. blow other feelings. how do you think I feel when they walk about with hardly wearing any clothes. hear of fathers who are never there. men always in the pub women left at home;. they beat them but still love them.Pete.
