I want a body to hold and lips to kiss and a nose to trace the slope of. I want eyes to pierce me and render me captive. I want warmth to fall into, strength for support. Ears to hear my whispers and hands to hold my shoulders. I want smiles to illuminate and laughter to resonate. Essentially, a life to share. My complimentary part, my other half, my soul match.
Alas, these things elude me and I find myself wrapped in solitude rather than the arms of comfort. I feel adrift instead of anchored and I WANT to be tethered to a man who feels like home. Home is not four walls, a foundation and windows. Home is not a street address or zip code. Home is a manifestation of the heart's desire. I want a man who feels like home. A man in whom my affections dwell; from whom much pleasure is derived.

very good ramblings, I am glad you are bold enough to post, I too have had such ramblings and just keep them in my journal...we have all felt this way at some point....Definitely true..."A home is a manifestation of the hearts desire." very splendid way of putting it...

I loved this piece of writing. I could relate to it completelyu. After my divorce a couple of years ago, I felt "homeless". Now I have found my anchor, my home, my soul mate and my life long love. This reminded me how lucky I am! Love, Stephy x

Great Honesty
Great prose piece. Sounds like something you needed to say too. Recently split from someone with whom I shared a house but not a home, I know from whence you speak. Hang in there! You've got a good soul, things'll work out!

I am Moved
The desires of one's heart so wonderfully shared. May you find contentment and unconditional love as you wish. I enjoyed this write. It was well worth the time, I pray I will someday provide these qualities to someone myself.

I really like this, it invokes many questions, and although you say it's not a poem, i think if you were to rearrange the structure it could be poetically brilliant, but then thats just my perception on it. I like it though, really

Brilliant Wrting and Thought-Provoking
Brilliant writing. And do not most people want the same thing? I love the sentiments in this. Thought-provoking as well. Well done for this. Keep writing

Hang in there, Stephanie. You are worth it and I hope it doesn't sound trite to say God will provide. If you are true to yourself and live spiritually, you will attract what you are. We attract what we think about, it seems. You are a deeply sensitive soul (like many poets) and this world can be really hard on us. But there is a beautiful mystery going on in the midst of pain, but only if you trust.

most poetic non poem I have read in ages
I hope you find a cuddly, perty eyed, handsome, loving, beautiful welcome mat real soon. -
I hear you, really.
I've been homeless about 2 years now, relatively speaking, and it's lonely and cold, and the sunny days always feel colder than the cold days do.
I hope you find home.
I hope I do, too.

Oh this is so beautiful yet saddening at the same time. Been there myself so know all to well the thought you describe but thankfully I found my home. There is a lot in this and I don't think it matters that it is not a structured poem at all, it flows smoothly and elegantly as it is. So many beautiful phrases in there already, leave it as it is !!!
