Searching For a Prince

I've been searching for a fairytale prince... SOMEONE honest, witty, kind the man I see in my mind is so hard to find He may be looking for someone to love... SOMEWHERE searching he may be when will he ever find me what a bold query We could meet somewhere and at any time... SOME DAY i fear it's too late no prince is to be my mate no reason to wait My search for that some day, has reached its end... SOMEHOW it matters no more princes only live in lore behind castle doors

so true, they only live in LORE. I like that last one a lot. Just remember: you have to kiss a lot of toads to find your prince!!!

When we our heart liberate and leave it roam free out of the gates of the castle then our prince or princess we will find! Finding the one we are looking for is quest of gigantic proportions BUT first we ourselves have to prepare and this is this is a Herculean task! A well constructed and delightful poem full of sentiment and meaning, dear Lin!

Thank you for your kind comments and wise words. If a prince comes riding along he'll have to be riding a white steed...I'd be torn between choosing the man or his horse.

thanks, nette. I'm not ready, so if the right man comes along he'll have to be someone very special. I appreciate you compliment and your thoughtfulness.

So sad Lin never give up, when you least expect it you will have a frog croaking at your door waiting for that loving kiss that will transform him into a prince. this made me sad because you are such a wonderful woman with wit charm and a loving heart. Everyone should have someone special in their life. For now you have us here on poetry soup we are your extended friends that care about you. Hugs Lin and may the good Lord shine you with all your wishes. God bless you Lin

aww Michael, how very sweet and considerate of you, but please don't be sad. I'd rather be on my own than to have stayed in an abusive relationship. God has smiled on me because I'm content. And yes, I do have friends here, and I m enjoying sharing my writes with them and reading all of your thoughts in return. Thanks for your compliments and your hugs. ((Michael))

Very nice reading... Where's true love hiding.. A princely love you seek... Maybe find first a castle please... Therein lies your true love within ... Into his heart you'll need to get in... Cheers!

Thanks, Keng. I thought I'd found my prince, but he turned out to be the Black Knight. I'm staying away from castles before I end up in the moat. I appreciate your reading this one and your sweet comments.
