"Cold Cold Heart"
A profound sharing, another Peter great.
Love in the heart conquers all regardless of
how painful. Wonderful poem!

Thank you,
Gwendolyn

Yep...kinda hard to "..melt a cold, cold heart." So many home-spun truths sung by ol' Hank W...as thereis in this poetry of yours. Enjoyed...

I love the powerful ending to this one. "but I held on with courage
to my self respect and God sent me an Angel who resigned you to Hell" BRAVO! Liza

Very well done. "...when you are in love you are blind to the truth"
So very true. So true, indeed.
Hugs,
CJ

"when you are in love
you are blind to the truth
and the last one to know
what's going on"

This is so bloody true that it makes my teeth hurt Sir Peter.

Indeed, like a cathartic, this write, in its cut to the chase emotion that was invoked in you. Kudos!

Often our innocence is trampled upon by those who care for naught save themselves. I have numerous memories of equal fervor my dear and blessed friend.

In fraternity and poetic vision ...

The important part of this message IMO is that one must keep their hearts open..........sooner of later the right one comes our way...and the wrong one steps back into the shadows :-) Great write.

Sounds like someone who is daunting my Son right now, he's too young!
Excellent Peter

Heartbreaking, Peter, very well penned emotion; well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I really think you did know my first wife!

Wow Peter, this speaks for many I am positive, - in eloquent but concise terms you have certainly spoken about a couple of major episodes in my life with this one! Bravo Warrior! Love Panda :)

BTW I really love that graphic - just captures the theme very well and well...I just really like it. :)

Oh dear Lordy me how well I can relate to this....sighhhh!!

Love tinka

poignant read

You acutely articulate the harrowing and hard-wrung feelings of many, I am sure, Peter, and bring comfort that we are not the only "love's fool" on the planet!! :)) Strength and perceptivity all the way through, but the power in the final two lines is right between the eyes! An overcoming and empowering write that gives us all hope. LOL K xx

Whoa! That was profound. Excellently done, Peter. ;)

I can relate to this, wrote a poem on my memory though mine is too complicated. The simplicity of your poem makes it very effective. Great work. Victor

Dearest Peter
Love, life, hugs and care to you!!
Why is it that we are the last ones to know when we allow ourselves to be blinded by love...?
Your true Angel would never be assigned to the helly realms; for she'd be a reflection of you!!
Powerful stuff!
Love and Blessings Suzie :-D

My goodness, Peter! Such a bitter memoir..

It's a good thing you were young and awestruck, and have had plenty of time to recover!

A hurt like that shatters one's heart...and crushes the spirit.

I trust that wound has been all healed up...but it sure delivered some powerful writing, even now!

Love&blessings, Rhonda

sometimes love can burn our hearts but is takes strength and an earth angel to heal it ...

This piece reminds me of those unanswered prayers.. and how sometimes He does know best.. great writing Peter!

Painful romance is genderless, and we all seem to go through it a few times before we find the right one, and for some they never find them. That's why those who have found it should do all in their power to keep it, for it is a gift not everyone gets! Excellent poem Peter.

peter, this poem is wonderful, it is bitter but flows with an ease that makes reading it so nice and it ends beautifully. i hope it really worked out that way

I know the black heart. I've had them pass my paths twice but never again. I would wish you better Peter.
Your heart pain is here but so is your lesson.
Love,
Susan

Wow!!!!! Peter, this is spoken with powerful emotions. Well-done, my friend! Hope everything is alright with you.

There is always one we fall for who never appreciates us and in the end breaks our heart in the worst of ways. It is impossible to see at the time, but that relationship was doomed from the start and never meant to be. In the end, you got your prize for believing in yourself enough to love again. When you fell from your steed, you got up, dusted yourself off, put your sword back in its sheath (so to speak) *grin* and rode off to find the damsel of your dreams...the story just doesn't get any better than that, Peter.

Take care,

Sherry

wow........talk about coming up smelling like a rose.......
you are the phoenix
good one peter

The ocean is full of fish and you caught one sent by God.
