Romeo Della Valle (Ageless / Dominican Republic)
My Fate
I have flown to the limitless skies
While bewitched by your bittersweet lies...
On you I placed my heart's desire and hope
But, instead, you betrayed my trust...
I offered you pure love but you played a game,
Making me look like a picture without a frame...
You designed that game and played it well,
Turning my life into a living Hell...
I learned the hard and painful way
To travel through my destiny's highway
Finding myself trapped in the shadow
And living in a world so narrow...
Now, laughing at what I thought I had lost,
I realize that you were not worth the cost...
Today, I try to bury my turbulent past
By reserving the best of me for last...
Hoping to find a fruit with a better taste,
In God's hands I leave my fate...
Gone are the worries and pain,
I am master of my own domain...

Master of your domain... great tie up line to recognition that you are able to take your future and enjoy it and maybe hushing past pains under the rug...good luck in life and love... karen
Good poem, Romeo. Heart-felt.
Fate draws its own line.It can be felt but cannot be observed and controlled.It can only be charged with positive energy thinking its a battery to success rendering human connection, love, job, studies etc.The properties as such it has also a limit of acceptance and this capacity maturity is measured by the age and experience.I wish the lines you have nourished what could have been a lifetime for many make your name ageless not like the melodramatic Romeo or cult alfa romeos merlon brando or mafias, de niros what most europeans coin italians as in US database.Exception was a Balboa who boxed with destiny.Life`s highway does not bother about anything.Only mobility with time.Time is a best healer of looking pictures without frame in introspection.Many of us do share not the snapshots meant to be shared in public to ease problems.We all tend to become flowers fresh from a shop just bought.This way many unknown flowers though smelling sometimes better and looking better loses the very dignity and affinity to humans to be concocted in love beyond worries but also withers away leaving an impact behind to digest.Well written and great application of poetry.Bravo!
Amazing poetry, very expressive! Thanks for sharing!

Making me look like a picture without a frame...
You designed that game and played it well,
Turning my life into a living Hell...'' thought provoking stanza of a beautiful poem, i love this.
