Peter Dome Poet Free verse

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.

Anna Hopper May 19, 2015 at 8:44 AM 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.

Judy Konos May 19, 2015 at 8:35 AM 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....

Anne-Lise Andresen May 19, 2015 at 4:21 AM - A deeply moving write, Peter - Never give up hope and your dreams ....... one day you will meet your "princess" ..... remember you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the right ..... - Search with your heart ... it is not the beauty outside that is important :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Peter Dome May 19, 2015 at 4:59 AM 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.
