Heart Like Mine

This heart has been broken,
tattered and torn
Not so long after
that I was born.

Searching for love
that appeared in dreams
Burning like the sun
and it's radiant beams.

I've been searching
for so many years
Looking for the woman
who can define my tears.

A woman who will adore me
and all that I am
Not someone who will play
putting on a sham.

I want someone to love
and honor for life
Someone who will someday
Be my loving wife.

Someone to honor
and cherish and all
That is the essence
in which I fall.

I'm not an act
and won't pretend
I could be much better
than the truest friend.

A woman who's bright
and together we shine
Is there anyone out there
with a heart like mine?

Hi Joel, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
